The Next Level in Walkin wardobe Organization – Shelving


Most Walkin wardobe come equipped with a hanging bar and little else but to organize a Walkin wardobe and keep it that way some shelving is a must have. There are many items that you own that should not be hung up and stuffing them in a dresser drawer isn’t the answer either. By installing shelving inside your Walkin wardobe you are opening up new possibilities to keep it orderly.



You don’t have to stick with the traditional bar in the middle of the Walkin wardobe ideas that is supposed to be one-size fits all. Plan the layout that makes the most sense to you. Maybe you would like to hang your pants at eye level and have all of your tops on shelving underneath or vice versa. Another use for shelves if for your shoes, install a shelf off the floor near the bottom and you can increase the floor space in your Walkin wardobe ideas for more shoes or other storage bins. If you like the idea of having drawers in your Walkin wardobe but don’t have the means to install them a shelf with some basket or bins for sorting will work too.



Shelves are versatile; if you decide to reorganize you can put the shelves to another use. If they use to hold sweaters and it is now the middle of summer you can repurpose them for your summer hats, sandals, or shorts. If you choose, you can install the adjustable shelving that allows you to move the hanging brackets up or down a metal runner with holes.



Shelves come in different materials, you can choose from plastic shelving, metal (solid or wire), or wood. All are fine and as long as they are strong enough and smooth (to prevent any damage to clothing) you can go with the most eye-pleasing or cost effective shelving that can be found at the hardware store for your Walkin wardobe ideas.

Hooks are another way to store like things together. They can be used for belts, ties, or purses. Having these smaller accessories in one place and on display will make your choices in the morning quicker.

Walkin wardobe Organization for Two

First consider building you own walkin wardrobe closet

In any couple it is bound to happen, one is the epitome of organization and the other specializes in organized chaos. Chances are there are many areas of your home where the organizer takes charge and makes sure things stay neat and tidy. But what do you do if you have to share a Walkin wardobe with a partner who does not share your love of everything in its place? Don’t despair; you have a couple of options available to you.
Option one is to never allow anyone into your Walkin wardobe except for you. This is a sure fire way to insure nothing gets misplaced or starts to get messed up. But it is not a very practical solution. You would have to pick out and put everything away, unless this appeals to you – option two is probably the way to go.
Option two is to organize the Walkin wardobe in a sensible way that makes finding items and putting them away just as easy as dumping them on the floor (well, maybe not that easy). Make sure everything thing has a home and that your partner knows where that home is. Remember that a system that works for you may not work for someone else; you need to get their buy-in too. If they are fine to leave the planning and organizing to you, investing a bit more time to label shelves and bins with the correct contents may save you some big headaches down the road.
Be prepared to do some damage control once a month, make sure the system is still working and weed out anything that isn’t. Like anything in a relationship, sharing a Walkin wardobe involves a lot of give and take. Just don’t take it too seriously; your love of organization shouldn’t get in the way of your love for your partner.

Walkin wardobe Problems & Solutions

A messy Walkin wardobe is a problem a lot of people have and they aren’t sure how to fix it. The messiness can come in many different forms but the root cause is most likely a lack of organization. If you start out organized it is much easier to stay that way. Here are a few common Walkin wardobe problems and some solutions that can be implemented at any time.


Are your hangers a tangled mess or do your clothes constantly slip off? Sounds like you have wire hangers hanging in your Walkin wardobe. To prevent tops from slipping off and falling to the floor or the dreaded hanger crease in the middle of your pant leg, invest in some wooden or plastic hangers. Not only are they functional, it is more attractive to have a uniform type of hanger in your Walkin wardobe (all wire hangers do not count).


If you are consistently looking for a mate to the pair of shoes you want to wear you need to put a system in place to organize your shoes. There are many options for shoe organizing, you can purchase a hanging canvas shoe rack that goes on your hanging bar, a shoe tree, or install some shelving in the bottom part of your Walkin wardobe. This is a quick and easy job, something that can be accomplished in under 2 hours (set-up and organization).


Chances are there are many things you can remove from the Walkin wardobe that doesn’t belong. Put your spare blankets in a linen Walkin wardobe or under the bed, and take the clothes you have been meeting to drop off at the donation bin out to the car so you won’t forget to do it another day. Find the proper home for whatever else is living in your Walkin wardobe when it shouldn’t be.

A Walkin wardobe needs a system in order to function properly and stay organized. Your system can be as complicated or as simple as you like but the common factor in all Walkin wardobe organization is having a place for everything. Once this is accomplished, the next step to master is to put everything in its place. This has to be done consistently to make your system work which will take time, practice and a little self-discipline.

For instance if the bottom of your Walkin wardobe is a sea of unmatched shoes and you have to conduct a scavenger hunt to find a matching pair – you need to find a home for every pair of shoes you own. This will probably mean investing in a shoe tree or a similar organizational helper. Before you buy, do some research – find out what is available in your price range and where you can find it. Make sure that there is enough room for your entire shoe collection and be forward thinking – leave room for future growth. If you don’t do this you will end up in the same situation as before but with less money in your wallet.

Keep going, pick the next problem spot in your Walkin wardobe, you will know what it is by the level of frustration you experience as you try to find something. It could be belts, ties, workout clothes, socks, whatever it is –find a home for your items, put them there every time and soon it will become second nature and you will never have to conduct a search in your Walkin wardobe again.
