Storage boxes to put in wardrobe
GiJo
Posts: 268 Forumite
I have a full length wardrobe but want to put some kind of storage boxes in it to utilise the space in the bottom half (to store jumpers/underwear, etc). I don't want anything with lids so probable looking at something drawer-like but don't know if there is such a thing that would be suitable for inside a wardrobe. Can anyone out there help me please?

I'll depend on the depth of the wardrobe, I suppose.0 -

RoCas, thanks for giving me the idea of looking at office supplies, I never thought of that and they look just the job.
overworked_underpaid, I did look at the Ikea website but their storage boxes seemed to have lids rather than drawers.
I will also check out wilkos, etc, angeldelite.

Might be worth a look in a local 2nd hand store for a couple of small bedside 3drawer units. These usually fit perfectly inside a wardrobe.
Otherwise have a look in Wilkinson's if you have one near you as they are good for cheap storage.The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.0 -
Do you not know a handy DIYer who would put two shelves in the bottom - then you can actually see what's stacked on them, without having to tip the box out

Another 2 good ideas from cattie and Debt_Free_Chick, cheers :T
Sometimes you can't see wood for trees (well, I can't:rolleyes: ) and when you get useful suggestions you think "why didn't I think of that :embarasse "0 -
How about going into MFI and looking at their storage solutions they have ready made for wardrobes, you might be able to get something to fit perfectly

I bought a Malm wardrobe from Ikea and also the small set of drawers to match which I put inside it, much better then storage boxes I think as you don't have to get them all out to get something from the bottom. Works for me and looks so neat and tidy!

Just notices Cattie suggested this too!0
