clothes storage help

2 years ago

Good morning

We are finally moving after a 7 month horror show!!

I’d like to get some ideas/photos of storage suggestions for these areas.

We want to make the most of the space but a little stumped on how to make it nice and what kind of tradesman we would need

Thank you in advance

Any local carpenter worth their salt could make something custom to make the best use of the space. If you're feeling flush with cash, you could also speak to the likes of Sharpes or Hammonds. They would give you a very nice wardrobe but they're not cheap. Ikea sells the great Pax wardrobe system but it only comes in certain sizes, so might not be the best fit for your space.

Odd that they don't have doors already 🤔

I deal with a lot of laundry too, especially at times when the kids will bring me a weeks worth of clothing. Where I am we pay electricity at different rates depending on the time of day so if I don't keep it somewhat organized it will start to overflow because weekdays I can only do loads in the evening to save $. One thing I did was to install cabinets with doors above the washer and dryers. I just re-used ones from our kitchen tear out, but you can usually get second hand ones fairly cheap if you are on a budget. This keeps all our laundry washing/dryer needs tucked away. We also have extra batteries and lights stored in there and our first aid and medication in the other cupboard for us and our livestock. We also have a laundry sorter for darks/whites/linens. It looks like you already have a great set up for that with your bins. Not sure how old your kids were, but they can start at a pretty young age at putting clothing in drawers if label the drawers with pictures. I think my kids were about 5 when they started doing it. It wasn't perfect of course, but they would have to put them in the drawers after I folded the clothes. It helps if you don't have clothes that need hanging. My one teenage son still gets all his clothes in drawers because they never seemed to make it on hangers in the closet. I would designate a folding area for the counter above the appliances and the counter above the cabinet as where folded clothes stay until their owner puts them away. I'd also maybe put some hooks or a rod above your laundry sorter. This would allow you to have clothes that are hung put on the hangers until they are put away.

En suite layout help! 2.2m x 3.3m
Q
Comments (0)
Hi there I’m hoping for a bit of advice on the en suite layout. I have been flip flopping with this and not sure what will work best. Shower is 900 x 1200 and bath is 1700 - not sure if I’ll go with double or single vanity- there’s a skylight over this area which is about a metre. I don’t want bathroom to feel cramped but conscious there doesn’t seem to be much room for storage. Pic of drawing attached - other idea was to put shower along the other (2200 wall) and turn the toilet to the side. Spotted a picture of this idea and liked the look of it but I’ve no idea if my space is too tight! Any suggestions very much appreciated! Thank you

Help with Indesit IWDC6125
Q
Comments (0)
Hi, I just have a question about washing clothes in the Indesit IWDC6125, it is a washer dryer. We have just moved into rented accommodation and have a washer dryer in the house and I think it is a new one but I just can't get it to do a good wash. The clothes don't come out 'clean' and still have some stains on them. Has anyone got any tips on what I could use in the washing machine to get a good wash or what cycle to wash at? Thanks!

A decent carpenter can easily make doors for you, either sliding or pull opening. If you are on Facebook, join your new towns Facebook page where you can ask for recommendations for carpenters. I have Sharpes fitted wardrobes, they are expensive but lovely quality. Depends on your budget.
