Embracing innovation

Written by Shereen Lurie

An organised wardrobe is essential for creating a tranquil bedroom. We share innovative bedroom storage solutions to help you declutter and maximise your space.

Bedroom vanity

“Ask your designer to specify soft-closing MERIVOBOX drawers for a peaceful bedroom environment. Keep your vanity drawers well-organised with AMBIA-LINE’s versatile, modular design. Utilise flexible dividers to create customised compartments for makeup, jewellery, and accessories. Group similar items together to maintain tidy storage, making it easy to access everything you need and simplifying your daily routine.” – Bronwyn Shell, marketing specialist at Blum South Africa

Accessible wall units

“When selecting furniture for your bedroom, consider exploring customised storage solutions to optimise space utilisation. Prioritise ease of access and functionality, and opt for soft-close mechanisms to minimise noise. AVENTOS lift systems can transform your bedroom into an organised and elegant retreat, ensuring daily convenience.” – Bronwyn Shell, marketing specialist at Blum South Africa

Extra shelving

“Adding extra shelving to the wardrobe creates more room and showcases your belongings without sacrificing the room’s beauty. This elegant and practical solution ensures you make the most of your space while maintaining a stylish environment.” – Melanie Stein, managing member at EuroCasa Johannesburg

Hidden compartments

Stools and benches

“Incorporating stools and benches with concealed compartments is a savvy organisational strategy—these versatile pieces provide comfortable seating while discreetly stowing away clutter and accessories. Wall-mounted shoe containers made of powder-coated metal are easy to install and ensure easy access to your favourite footwear while maintaining a well-organised shoe collection.” – Johann De Waal, marketing manager at KARE Johannesburg

Wall hooks and coat racks

“Wall hooks and coat racks are versatile solutions for wardrobe organisation. They can be used to hang bags, belts, scarves, and accessories, maximising vertical space. Wall hooks keep items visible and accessible, reducing the need to dig through drawers or shelves. They’re a simple yet effective way to declutter and streamline your wardrobe.” – Johann De Waal, marketing manager at KARE Johannesburg

Group clothing

“I’ve found that the simplest approach is to organise your clothing by grouping similar items together. Create categories for different types of clothing, such as workwear, gym attire, and casual outfits, for instance. Once you’ve sorted your clothes into these categories, you can take it a step further and organise them by colours. For example, you can group your workwear by colours. This method will save you a significant amount of time since all your items will be neatly organised together. You can apply a similar method to organise your shoes.” – Dawie Fourie, partner & head designer at Okelo

Use tech

“At Okelo, we have a penchant for incorporating the latest gadgets to enhance wardrobe functionality. Features like pull-down hanging rods are incredibly effective in maximising storage capacity. This hanging system allows you to pull the rod down, making clothes easily accessible and visible as they drop out of the cupboard.

“Pull-out pants racks are another excellent addition for organising your pants, providing convenient access as they extend from the cupboard. Sensor-activated lights contribute to a well-lit wardrobe, making it effortless to locate your items.

“To further streamline organisation, we integrate internal drawers for smaller clothing items like underwear, socks, belts, and jewellery. We prefer using glass drawer fronts to offer clear visibility of the drawer’s contents.” – Dawie Fourie, partner & head designer at Okelo
