Tips for planning

a customised
wardrobe
Start by looking at your
existing wardrobe and deciding
how much space you need
for the three main types of
clothing: Tops, bottoms and
long dresses dont rely on
standard wardrobe layouts.
Plan the shelf heights
according to whats
comfortable for your height.
Remember to allocate extra
space for your growing
wardrobe collection.
Loose items such as
undergarments and socks take
up space, too, so do ensure
that there is adequate drawer
space for them.
Maximise the space by opting
for wardrobe accessories,
such as pull-out racks and
adjustable shelves.
