Have you ever felt exasperated seeing a closet or storage filled with a messy load of clothes? Getting a bigger wardrobe is not always the solution. What you need to do is adjust your furniture needs. But you are probably worried about the expense that comes with this type of project – you will need to hire a carpenter, buy the materials required, etc. Well, you do not have to! There are loads of wardrobe ideas that you can do at home yourself. The best part is that none of these projects require a large budget. You can use simple materials like pipes, etc., second hand furniture or even just take advantage of a bare wall. Here is a look at 25 easy ideas to inspire you to make your own cabinet or wardrobe.

A few wooden planks and a pipe or two are all you need to create storage space for your clothes and accessories. You can make shelves with the planks and install the pipes to hang your clothes. Simple!

Take a simple pipe and suspend it from the ceiling with a colourful rope to create a place to hang your clothes. Pick an empty wall space and you have the perfect place for hangers with coats and jackets.

You will find many treasures in yard sales and even junk yards. If you can, look for an old wardrobe and clean and paint to repurpose it for some extra space for your clothes.

4. Add shelves and drawers

To make sure that you have space for hanging as well as folded clothes, install three shelves on the top of your closet. These will serve well for folded clothes while giving you some extra space for clothes that need to be hung.

11. Build cubbyholes

Cubbyholes can be very useful when you do not have much storage space. Build a few of them to keep things like towels and bed linen. This is a good way to make use of even the smallest storage spaces.

Handbags take up quite a lot of space. Make room for them in your wardrobe by adding hooks – you can hang them up and have a clutter-free room.

If you want your wardrobe to have more space for your clothes, you should use shoeboxes for other items that take up closet space, like bed linen. This is a superb idea when space is tight in your wardrobe.

15. Use shower curtain hooks for scarves

Scarves often seem to take up very little space but once you have quite a few, keeping them neatly away seems like the toughest task. A simple solution is to use shower curtain hooks on a hanger in your wardrobe to wrap your scarves around, keeping them crease-free and within easy reach.

16. Double up hanging space with chains

If you have a particularly small wardrobe, get some extra hanging space with simple metal chains. Slip a 2-inch length of chain over your hanger and the links will give you a way to hang extra hangers!

17. Install a rail divide

Installing a rail divide in your wardrobe is a neat way to keep different clothing items separate. This way, you make good use of the space you have without having to worry about a messy wardrobe.
