Storage cupboard

Gettingtherequickly

Hope someone can help.

I am looking for a wardrobe size cupboard which only has shelves, for the spare room but can't find one at any cost (cheaper the better obviously!) I know that I have seen one in someones house which they were using for kitchen, but can't remember where:mad:

Has anyone any suggestions on where I could get one? I want it to storage jumpers etc, bulky stuff which can be folded.

I searched and searched for one one these but couldnt find one. In the end I adapted an old single wardrobe by fitting my own shelves. I also considered buying a shelf unit and putting curtains on it but couldnt find one deep enough.

Pretty sure you'd be able to cobble something together from some of the !kea systems, wouldn't you? Just buy more shelf parts and omit the hanging rail? Haven't been for a while so they might not have quite the right bits but that would be my first port of call.

Is the Ikea Billy unit deep enough?
Alternatively there is their Gorm range if you just want open shelving

Did think about Ikea, must take a trip there. Thanks

What you're looking for is called a "linen cupboard" as they were traditionally used for storing the household linens pre-airing cupboards becoming the norm.

That may help you narrow down your on-line search

Or, you could use those hanging sweater stores, you know, the canvas shelves? I've just got some in dunelm mill reduced to £1.49 each, to go in the kids wardrobes.

Search for Linen Cupboard / Linen cabinet / linen press and you'll find lots of options.

I've quite fallen in love with this one:

And there's loads on ebay:

Another search term for you is *Armoire* although they tend to be really expensive!

But, it would be easy enough to add shelves to an existing wardrobe.

I agree with the ikea billy bookcase option - and you can buy doors for it too

Me too. I've got one of the narrow Billy bookcases (30cm wide?) with a glass door and I keep my fabric stash in it. It would easily accomodate jumpers and tops.
