View Full Version : Wardrobe organisers
I know, I know, bike forum and all that.
I have fallen in love with a house, that has a walk in wardrobe :drool:
Going by my past behaviour regarding these things, it will simply get stuffed full of shit, and not resemble a well organised, useful space as it should. No amount of encouragement :pinch: from my husband will change this :o
I saw the most amazing wardrobe organised space the other day, and can see how actually investing in shelves/hanging space etc may be of some assistance to me in my endeavour to enjoy my "walk in" wardrobe.
Have been googling (is that a word now?) but it is too hard (I cant believe I typed that). Is there anyone on here that actually sells these amazing things, or anyone that has used someone that does?
Thanking you in advance etc
:love: Mom

Maybe? Whats it to ya? :rofl:
My hubby hangs his clothes up, I tend to drape them.
I may have a few pairs of shoes, I wear them everyday. Mind you, thinking on there may be some I will wear one day, some I will wear eventually, some I wore once and cant part with, some I cant currently wear as my dumb ankle wont allow me to yet, some I simply own and cant part with :o

We just use this Maddison House stuff http://www.mitre10mega.co.nz/shop/storage_shelving/wardrobe_organisers/maddison_house_miami_double_wardrobe_organiser_218 070/
Buy it cheap at hardware shops and you can pick all the bits you need. You trim them to size when they are too long for your space. You and your man just have to be good at making sure you fit the wall brackets nice and straight at the right heights.
You can buy sets and usually loose bits too, to finish it the way you want.

If he hangs them up and you dont ... he needs a wardrobe. All YOU have (and need) is the floor. :rolleyes:
Are you hoping your clothes will come back into fashion ... ??? (if they ever were) :dodge:

Fwark FJ, hope you are never in my house.
17 pairs of shoes,
40 - 50 shirts,
4 suits.
20 pairs of jeans,
over 100 tee shirts.......
And Im a single guy!
I do like my clothes.
Pity you dress in rags,
Yuo get an organizer Mom.
And enjoy your clothes.
Hint, when they are hanging up neatly, far easier to work out what will match what for that evening out on the town,
Or even what will be best to take to a rally, nicely folded up in you bag.
And hang on tight to that man!
heaven forbid you loose a rare soul like that who can hang up his cloths without duress from SWMBO

Oh trust me I am not about to swap my man for the world, but I do acknowledge I need help in the hang up department.

I have a lot more clothes than SWMBO (who works in the clothing biz - go figure). But I have a buttload of workshirts, suits, jackets for africa etc etc.
We organised ours using stuff from one of those plastic box stores: called "Urban" or something. Really good and reasonable price, plus adjustable. Weve got two hangrails and space for shoes and all sorts of stuff. Used it in the hall cupboard too to organise the motorbike gear.
We looked at a range of (wait for it) rubbermaid stuff at Placemakers but it was quite expensive and not as flexible. but, you know, "rubbermaid".

This stuff. (http://www.storagebox.co.nz/cms.php?id_cms=6) The wife just priced some up for home but it came to like $1,200. Looks nice, but nah.

sounds like a gay single guy
Since when does knowing what quality clothing and knowledge of fashion make you Gay?
lol
I wounder if your the fella I see standing at the bar looking at the girls, wishing he could take them home
while Im the well dressed guy who is talking with all the hawt girls, and does take them home.
clean nails, polished shoes, and confidence will win over a the clean ladies
dirty biker jeans, half cut denim jacket and a stench of tui's on the breath any day, will get you the skanks.
Mom, you enjoy your fun sorting out that wardrobe in that house you like,
sounds like you are going to have fun.
And Maha, she does because she want to look good for you,
so you can be proud to have the best looking woman at the rally
If you see me as gay, is that because you are a sloth?

Having installed the lightweight "wire shelves" type of system, I cannot recommend them. The Madison House appears to be the same type.
Perfectly OK if, like the advertising photos show, you only want to store a very small amount of things and have half of the space empty.
Why?
You will see the lightweight bent metal tabs that attach to the poles and onto the walls. These open out and eventually let go when suficcient weight is put onto the shelves...
I now have added the trusty cable-tie shelf fixing system to ours.:(
If doing this exercise again I would go back to solid boards and galvanised water pipe for the hanging rails!

He's not that sneaky ... you still have all your clothes. He could have made some "disappear" if he didn't like your current wardrobe ... :lol:

Laughed myself silly the other day when we saw you walking up by our place. We could have picked you up and driven around with you for a bit and then delivered you to where you wanted to go :pinch:

Most of the decent kitchen and bathroom design places (joinery places with machines and people with half a brain, not fucken plumbing world or mega bunnings) will also do wardrobe fitouts. And belive it or not there are actually companys that just specialise in wardrobe fitouts these days.

Get a wardrobe organiser, you won't regret it, don't buy the cheap stuff, you will regret it....
If you have those yellow pages thingies in the outback, try page 1023, under wardrobe systems, the only ones' I have experience of are Boston Wardrobes (high end & expensive) and Innovative interiors who I always recomend to clients, still not cheap but I haven't had any bad feeback about them.
In case you ate your yellow pages:
Innovative interiors 443 1928
others:
Home Plus 09 425 7053
Wardrobe world 09 478 9045
Get out there and spend some money!

I can lend you Vicki if you want - shes a great wardrobe organizer. Anything I have that she doesn't like gets thrown out and anything she hasn't worn for a while gets stored in case.... Shes organized it so she has most of the wardrobe thus far... hmmmmm

I was fortunate enough that the room I'm renting comes with a walk in wardrobe so I haven't had to think about it.
Here's a place that may do what you want.

Bunnings have some options as well.
I have found it becomes a bit more expensive getting someone in to design/supply..
I would definately shop around..
