What Are My Modern Storage Options? Sliding Mirror Wardrobes & More!
There are a world of storage options out there for you to choose from, with more and more innovative ways of maximising your space. We’ve picked out some of our favourite wardrobe storage options for your bedroom or closet, as well as some other ideas to inspire you!
Hinged Wardrobes
Hinged wardrobes are the classic, more traditional option. You can find a range of hanging features and even use over the door hooks to improve the storage capabilities. You can hang a mirror on the inside of your wardrobe door to conserve floor space in your bedroom too!
While these are the most traditional wardrobe styles, there are some flaws which have encouraged people to invest in more innovative and efficient wardrobe styles such as sliding or mirrored doors. Keep reading to find out more about modern wardrobe solutions and how they could improve your bedroom!
Mirrored Wardrobe Doors
Mirrored wardrobe doors are an excellent way to improve the look of your bedroom and incorporate a good amount of storage space.
Mirrored wardrobes are great for storage and you can customise the interior with hanging units, shelves, hanger space, vertical hangers, drawers…etc. The list goes on! Having a thorough amount of storage allows you to put your belongings into a proper space, rather than cluttering up your bedroom. Many of us are familiar with a ‘floordrobe’ and having good storage can help you avoid this!
Mirrors are also great for making smaller spaces seem larger and opening up a room, due to the reflection of the mirror. By having mirrored wardrobes in your bedroom, not only do you have a neat and tidy storage space, they can help to brighten and enhance the appearance of your bedroom or closet too.
Sliding Closet Doors
If space is the problem in your bedroom or closet, but you’re still after a mirrored wardrobe, sliding doors could be the solution. Much like regular mirrored doors, sliding mirror doors can also really open up a room by reflecting the space and making it seem larger, brighter and more inviting.
In addition to this, they have the same storage capabilities and can be customised to accommodate your storage needs. Sliding closet doors are also extremely beneficial if space is a problem in your bedroom or closet. Because sliding doors don’t open outwards like regular mirrored doors, they don’t take up any more floor space when you are using them and give a sleeker feel to your wardrobe. You can simply slide your mirrors left and right to get to your things, which is extremely convenient if you want to keep things looking classic and clean!
You can find sliding door wardrobes in a range of finishes and styles, so finding something that fits into your home will be easier than you think! You could use them for your own room, or even in your children’s rooms for storing books, toys, clothes…etc.
Built In Wardrobes
Built in wardrobes are also another option to consider when it comes to storage space. Built-in wardrobes are integrated closet systems that are designed and fitted into your space. Once they’ve been installed in a room, they cannot be moved.
If you’re having a built-in-wardrobe installed, it’s likely that you are having it custom built and fitted into your home. Bespoke solutions will also allow you to customise the interior, adding relevant hanging space, drawers,
Built in wardrobes can be a great investment for a range of reasons, and they give you the perfect storage space without invading a room. Life can be busy, especially in the mornings. When you’re rushing to work, having a built-in wardrobe can be a convenient feature to have and it can be an efficient, sleek way to keep all your clothes and accessories stored safely.
Wardrobe Interiors
As we’ve already mentioned, customising and maximising your wardrobe interiors is a good way to improve the storage capabilities of your wardrobe. Discovering your wardrobe’s hidden potential is the key to boosting the storage! Some things to consider might be:
● Utilising space at the top of your wardrobe, shelves…etc.
● Pick a blend of drawers and shelves
● Pull out shoe racks/hidden features to accommodate your items
● Extendable hanging racks
Customising your wardrobe interior is entirely based on what your needs are, and finding the right solutions for you.
Other Bedroom Storage Ideas
You can also use a range of other storage ideas to elevate your bedroom and create a less cluttered space. These storage ideas are designed to help you get rid of clutter (or hide it away) without having to compromise on space.
Under Bed Storage
Many beds have great underbed storage nowadays, which is the perfect solution for storing things that you don’t particularly need a lot of access to. It’s an inconspicuous way to store items that you don’t have space for, or simply want out of the way.
You can find a lot of beds these days which allow you to easily lift up the entire mattress, giving you complete access to anything you’re storing underneath. It helps to protect your items from collecting dust and becoming damaged over time.
Another common form of underbed storage is to have roller drawers underneath, which can be conveniently rolled under and out of the bed, allowing you to store anything you need to!
If you want to keep your items extra protected, you can invest in plastic tubs or boxes to put your items in before they go into your drawers or under your bed. This can help you to stay organised and reduces the risk of misplacing or losing your items!
Functional Furniture
Much like under bed storage, you can find a range of other functional furniture items that double up as effective storage compartments. These furniture items are perfect because they look classy and chic in your home while helping you to keep clutter and mess out of sight.
Footstools, coffee tables and even ottomans or benches can be beautiful and opulent additions to your home, with the perfect storage compartments to help you get rid of your clutter.
Vertical Storage
Utilising floor to ceiling space has become a more recent innovation, with more and more people making use of vertical space in their homes.
You can find a range of shelving and hanging organisers or stacking boxes that let you store a good amount of your stuff without taking up unnecessary floor space. Storing things vertically can also fill up empty space and make your home feel more cosy, minus the clutter!
Double Up Your Drawers
If you have a chest of drawers, or another kind of storage unit, you can use the top as a dressing table, or a place to organise trinkets and other items.
If you’ve got drawers near a window and around some good lighting, all you need is a mirror and you’ve got yourself the perfect mini dressing table! This saves you from having to invest in a completely separate unit and helps you to conserve floor space by utilising furniture that you already have.
