A cheap clothes storage solution ?

Options
Hi Live in a one bed flat in desperate need of storage!
I hate those canvas wardrobes so any ideas would be great !
Money is a little tight so any suggestions would be welcome !

    Do you want something that you can access? If you want something for storing clothes i.e summer clothes in winter I use the under the bed storage things and have also just bought some of the plastic type bags that you squeeze all the air out of (either by hand or by hoover - here are the ones I got on offer at argos)
    Always on the hunt for a bargain.

    At times like this the first thing I do is look in my wardrobe and see what I haven't worn since this time last year. Stuff like that gets washed, ironed and sent to a charity shop.

    You could just get a hanging rail? My daughters have these, much cheaper than a wardrope & they actually hang things up on them as they like to see all their outfits arranged as though in a shop. Opening wardrobe doors seemed to be too much effort...

    Hello, I would suggest the Antonius system from Ikea. If you go onto the Ikea site and look on page 298 of the online catalogue, it will show you the system on the top left hand side. It is lots of drawers and a pole inbetween for the hanging stuff. I have one and I find it very useful as I move around alot. Also it is free standing so does not need attaching to any walls. I think the whole this cost about £132, but you can buy it in sections when you can afford it.. It all flat packs down so it easily fits into a car with it seats down.

    I hope that might give you some ideas.
