A beautifully organised wardrobe tops many homeowners’ wish lists, and it’s easy to see why – it allows you to maximise the space you have and can speed up your morning routine. “The right design can double your storage potential,” says Cathy Player, expert organiser at Howards Storage World. “You’ll also win back precious minutes every day by eliminating those black holes that treasured items of clothing fall into.” Supplement a great wardrobe with a dresser, tallboy and, if necessary, extras such as rails and under-bed boxes, and you never need face another clothes crisis again.

The right storage set-up depends on a number of factors, including the size of your bedroom, what you need to store, and how you like to organise your belongings. A wardrobe is likely to be the centrepiece, either built-in, freestanding or walk-in.
