Wardrobe organised with extra rails, shelves, and storage properly fitted. Maximise the space you've got so everything has a place and you can actually find things.
Make Your Wardrobe Actually Work
You've got clothes piled on the one hanging rail, stuff balanced precariously on top, shoes in a heap at the bottom. There's loads of wasted space but no way to use it properly.
💡 Pro tip: Most wardrobes are fitted with one rail and nothing else - massive waste of space. Add a second rail, some shelves, and proper shoe storage and you'll double what you can fit in there.
Why Get Someone To Fit It?
| ✅ Done Properly | ❌ DIY Disaster |
|---|---|
| Rails level and securely fixed | Sagging under weight of clothes |
| Shelves cut to exact fit | Gaps at sides, doesn't sit flush |
| Everything accessible | Can't reach half of it |
| Makes best use of space | Still wasted areas |
Fitting wardrobe internals looks simple but getting measurements right, cutting shelves to fit alcoves, and securing rails properly takes know-how.

What to Expect
Step 1: Empty and Assess
Clear out the wardrobe (or at least move everything temporarily). See what space we're working with and what you want to fit.
Step 2: Fit The Storage
Install rails at different heights, fit shelves where they're most useful, add shoe racks or drawers, secure everything properly.
Step 3: Load Test
Make sure rails can take the weight, shelves don't bow, everything's secure and level before you fill it properly.
🔧 DIY Tips
Fancy organising it yourself? Here's how:
🔧 What you'll need
- Rail and socket sets (from DIY store)
- Shelves cut to size or adjustable wire shelving
- Brackets for shelves
- Drill, screwdriver, spirit level
- Stud finder (to locate solid fixing points)
📐 Planning the layout:
- Measure wardrobe height - split into zones
- Top third: high rail for long items or shelf storage
- Middle: everyday hanging at eye level
- Bottom: shoes, bags, or folded items
- Sketch it out before buying anything
🔨 Fitting rails:
- Mark rail height with spirit level
- Locate solid fixing points (studs or wardrobe sides)
- Fit rail sockets with screws long enough to grip properly
- Slide rail into sockets
- Test with heavy coats before loading fully
📚 Fitting shelves:
- Mark shelf height on both sides
- Fit brackets level (check with spirit level)
- Cut shelf board to fit snugly between sides
- Rest on brackets or screw from underneath
- Test with weight before loading
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Rails too close together (items on lower rail touch upper)
- Shelves too deep (can't see what's at back)
- Not securing into solid points (pulls out under load)
- Forgetting door clearance (shelf hits door when opening)
💡 Pro trick: Standard double hanging is 100cm for the top rail, 100cm for the bottom rail. Adjust if you've got lots of long dresses or mostly short items. And leave 5cm clearance between clothes levels - stops them catching.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Walk-in wardrobe or dressing room? Same principle but more scope. I can fit proper runs of shelving, multiple rails, dedicated shoe storage - make it work like a shop fitting room.
Built-in alcove wardrobes? Perfect for custom organisation. I can measure and fit shelves to exact dimensions, use every inch of available space.
IKEA PAX or similar modular systems? If you've bought a flatpack wardrobe system, I can assemble and fit it. Often quicker than DIY and you know it'll be level and secure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does wardrobe organisation involve?
I'll fit additional hanging rails (double-height for shirts, lower for longer items), add shelves where needed, fit shoe racks or drawers, and generally configure your wardrobe so everything has a proper place. You provide the storage bits, I fit them properly.
Do I need to buy the rails and shelves first?
Yes - have a look at what you need (IKEA, Amazon, Argos all do good wardrobe organisers). I can advise on what will fit if you send me wardrobe dimensions. Then I'll come and fit it all properly.
Can you work with what's already in my wardrobe?
Yes - if you've got existing rails or shelves that just need repositioning or adding to, I can work with those. Often it's just about rearranging to use the space better.
How much extra storage can you actually fit?
Depends on the wardrobe, but usually you can double your hanging space with a second rail, add 3-4 shelves above, and fit shoe storage below. Makes a massive difference to how much you can store.
Will it still look tidy once I've filled it with my stuff?
That bit's up to you! But having everything properly organised with designated spaces means it's much easier to keep tidy. No more piles of stuff falling over when you open the door.
