A cluttered space can be annoying and even affect your ability to think clearly. A good way to deal with this problem is to learn how to build a fitted wardrobe. Having a fitted wardrobe will help you manage your space and customize it according to your needs.

There are also certain spaces in our homes that are a bit on the awkward side. Those spaces are rarely used properly. For example, a slanted ceiling in your bedroom can actually make a good closet space. This way, the space is maximized and serves whatever needs you may have. Here are some steps and tips on how to manage wardrobe space.

1. Plan where you want to build your fitted wardrobe and know what needs to be stored there. A good fitted wardrobe should be able to store plenty of personal things aside from your hanged clothes. There should also be shelves for your personal items and even some drawers. A space for bags and shoes should also be considered. This will vary depending on your belongings.

2. A good hanging closet for your clothes should be measured correctly. The standard size is at least 28 inches long.  If you have more clothes to hang, you can make it wider or have two layers.

3. Your cabinets are usually pre-cut to standard size. You won’t need that many cabinets and it’s more modern and practical to just have open shelves for all your other items, such as bags, folded clothes, belts, and skin products. If you decide to omit the drawers all together, you can opt for little baskets that fit into the shelves for smaller items that need to be organized.

4. Maximize the top part of the closet. This is usually overlooked and the space is not used to its full extent. You can use this to store your luggage, boxes of seasonal items, used shoes and other items that are seldom used. Do not place items there that you will use every day; the space may be very hard to reach. Be practical.

5. Use the bottom part of the fitted closet to store shoes, storage boxes and bags. Here you can place drawers to store important items, such as journals, books and DVDs.

6. Decide if you will need some extra light within the closet. If so, install the necessary wirings before you make the fitted wardrobe. Mark the area where you would want to have a light installed. It is better to ask for the assistance of an electrician if you are not confident or knowledgeable in doing so.

7. Choose an available design for your fitted wardrobe. Ensure that the design matches the rest of your bedroom space. It’s best to measure the space intended for the closet, both the height and the width. Also, choose the kind of the material you want to use. There are various choices of pre-cut and custom kits on the market.

8. Once you have chosen the materials that you want, read the manual carefully on how to build the fitted walls. If you are working with pre-cut materials, keep track of the installation materials.

Fitted wardrobes vary between each household, depending on the size and shape and the structure. It is best to make use of all the possible space, from top to bottom, from side to side, maximizing every angle possible. Measure carefully and order pre-cut materials. For a simpler closet, there are available kits that are easy to install. Whatever you decide to do, you must always have a clear plan on how to build a fitted wardrobe and incorporate the building’s structure into the plan.
