10 Wardrobe Accessories You Didn’t Know You Needed
…until now.
Let’s be honest, wardrobes do a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to storage. But even the best of them need a little back up from time to time. Whether it’s a clever insert or a smart upgrade, these accessories will turn your wardrobe from just a wardrobe into a quiet overachiever you wouldn’t be without.
1. The pull-out trouser rack
No more mystery creases or trousers that have been lost to the wardrobe floor. This slide-out hero keeps your trousers tidy in order. Simply pull the rack out, choose your trousers, and be on your way.
Why it’s clever: You can fit more in, and you’ll actually wear what you own.
2. Motion sensor lighting
Rifling round your wardrobe on dark early mornings is a thing of the past. LED sensor lights mean your wardrobe will light up when you open it, so you can see everything without fumbling in the darkness.
Why it’s clever: Lighting makes finding darker clothes in the dark a lot less difficult.
3. Fabric-lined drawer inserts
Jewellery, cufflinks, sunglasses and other small accessories deserve more than a trinket dish. Invest in a soft-lined drawer liner to keep things neat, visible, and tangle-free.
Why it’s clever: It gives your small items a proper home and prevents them from getting lost.
4. Pull-down hanging rail
Tall wardrobes? Not a problem. A pull-down rail lowers down to you, so there’s no need to reach or climb to get your stuff.
Why it’s clever: It makes the top half of your wardrobe actually usable.
5. Slide-out shoe trays
Digging for just one shoe when you’re already in a rush is a uniquely stressful experience. Shoe trays keep pairs of shoes visible, accessible, and dirt off the wardrobe floor and your clothes.
Why it’s clever: Shoes on. Shoes off. No fuss.
6. Hidden mirror
No wall space? A slim, pull-out mirror or mirror panel on the inside of the wardrobe door is the perfect space-saving solution for outfit checks.
Why it’s clever: Saves space, provides a service, looks good doing it.
7. Matching, non-slip hangers
Sounds obvious, but matching hangers = instant wardrobe glow up. Bonus points for velvet ones that stop your clothes from sliding off when you’re looking for something to wear.
Why it’s clever: It’s the quickest way to make your wardrobe look put together.
8. Built-in washing basket
Ditch the corner washing basket, this drawer hides your dirty clothes, so your bedroom stays tidy.
Why it’s clever: It makes the floordrobe a thing of the past.
9. Scented sachets
Freshen things up, naturally. These little additions keep your clothes smelling nice and those pesky carpet moths at bay. Opt for light scents that act as natural moth repellents like lavender or cedar blocks.
Why it’s clever: Your clothes will thank you.
10. Under-shelf storage baskets
If you’ve got tall shelves in your wardrobe, install some under-shelf storage baskets. They create extra space for folded bits, bags, and stuff that doesn't quite have a home yet.
Why it’s clever: Uses up valuable real estate.
