A wardrobe can add essential storage and organisation to your home, whether that means more sweaters than hangers or shoes that won’t fit anywhere on any shelf – whatever it may be, having the appropriate wardrobe can provide much-needed relief.
Before beginning wardrobe installation Adelaide, first organise and clean out your closet. Remove any clothing, shoes and other items which can be donated or otherwise disposed of.
Hanging Space
As part of designing your wardrobe/closet system, it’s essential that you carefully consider all that needs to be stored. Every person uses their closet/wardrobe in an individual way; so when designing one for yourself it is key that you take time to consider everything you will store before designing for it – such as whether or not tie racks, ample hanging space and folded storage are needed etc. For best results it may be wise to consult an expert who will help plan to meet YOUR exact requirements.
Hanger rods must meet a minimum height requirement of 24″, enough to store shirts, blouses and other shorter clothes such as T-shirts and tank tops. You may require more space depending on how many full-length items need storing; typically women’s dresses and skirts require longer hanger rods than blazers and suit jackets do; hence it is wiser to divide your hanging area into sections dedicated to long and short clothing items.
Two tier hanging allows each person to have their own rail for shorter garments, while the longer shared section can store dresses and coats. If you plan on having a “His & Hers” section, we recommend setting aside at least 172cm/ 70″ of height in your shared hanging area.

Drawers
Addition of drawers to a fitted closet can provide extra storage and organisation. Instead of fighting through chaotic stacks of clothing on hangers, having drawers will provide for a more organised experience. Furthermore, closet drawers make an excellent way of organising shoes, accessories, or other items which would otherwise clutter the floor of your closet.
To construct your own custom closet drawers, you will require the following materials:
Select sliding drawers capable of supporting the weight of what you intend to store inside them.
Wood glue: Wood glue will help strengthen and stabilise the joints of your drawer box for greater strength and resilience.
Screws: In order to attach all the pieces together securely, including the drawer box and front panel, various screw sizes will be necessary.
Sanding materials: Sandpaper and sanding blocks are essential in smoothing out rough edges and surfaces of drawers, as this will prevent snags or splinters that could be harmful when wearing clothing or using your drawers.
Finishing Materials: Paint, stain or varnish will add a protective coat to your drawers that keeps them looking new for longer. From subtle whitewashes to bold wood stains – whatever style suits you is up for consideration; just ensure it can withstand wear and tear!
Shelves
An effective closet requires shelves to organise shoes, clothing and bins. If you want to get the most from your closet space, invest in wardrobe installation Adelaide with adjustable wood shelves – these quick and simple assembly shelves allow for optimal storage for tall clothing items like boots and dresses.
Before installing a shelf in your closet, empty out its contents completely. While this might be time-consuming and inconvenient, doing so will give you plenty of working space and enable you to organise belongings more effectively when placing them back inside the wardrobe. Furthermore, doing this ensures no damages occur during installation – another excellent benefit.
When selecting materials for closet shelves, there are two primary choices available to you: plywood and MDF (medium-density fibreboard). Plywood offers more durability as it resists sagging, splitting and warping – ideal for sheds, garages and other non-climate controlled areas; while MDF may cost less but could warp with humidity levels over time – thus leaving less than desirable storage solutions on display.
