Wasted space inbuilt wardrobe advive/help

last modified: last year

This is our built in wardrobe and I'm looking for advice on how we can maximise the space I feel like it's unorganised and a mess.
I can clear the whole top shelf, it would be nice if we could add another rail but it's quite high. The top shelf is quite high so will make it difficult to get stuff down from.
We've also alot of shoes / trainers at the bottom.

    You can get pull down rails for wardrobes so it wouldn't matter of another rail was quite high up

    Is that your only wardrobe and is it shared?

    I would suggest it isn’t enough for 2 people. Ideally each person should have their own wardrobe, but I know that’s easier said than done. Have you had a declutter of the clothes? If you haven’t worn something for a year, I suggest you give it to charity or try to sell it. My wardrobe was so chockablock that I pulled everything out and sorted it into keep, charity shop or sell. Now I can actually see all my clothes and it is easier to manage. We all keep stuff for far too long, and sometimes it is time to let it go. Looking again, you could add another rail below the one you have, so you’ve twice the capacity, but it needs to be short things like tops at the top and trousers/skirts at the bottom. I would sort all the stuff at the bottom and decide if it is needed.
