Clothes storage & organisation

IKEA clothes storage: crease-free, worry-free

At IKEA you'll find a wide range of beautiful wardrobes and chests of drawers. And a whole lot more for storing clothes. Clever clothes storage helps you tailor your wardrobe furniture to your needs and your day to day. Clothes boxes tuck away delicate things like ties and silk stockings. Garment bags keep valuable clothes on the rail safe from dust – and are just as handy for business trips and travel. Our large storage cases fit perfectly under beds or tall wardrobes and chests of drawers. Inside, costumes and seasonal items like winter coats have a home where they're well protected from dust and damp. So whether you're looking for advice on how to store your clothes, or hunting for specific items like clothes storage boxes, clothes hooks, shoe storage and much more, you've come to the right place.

Key features and benefits of our clothes storage (depending on the model):

• Versatile uses: from shoes and underwear to seasonal clothing – there's a storage solution for every type of clothing.
• Modular systems: individual elements can be combined as you like and expanded when needed, so your clothes storage grows with your requirements.
• Space-saving solutions: stackable boxes and flat containers fit under the bed, in drawers or on high shelf compartments, making the most of every centimetre.
• Clear wardrobe organisation: transparent boxes and labelable compartments make sure you can find every item of clothing at a glance.
• Reliable protection: closed boxes with a lid or zip keep your clothes safe from dust, damp and dirt.
• Easy-care materials: sturdy plastics, hard-wearing fabrics and quality wood or metal hangers, all built to last.
• Timeless design: the understated shapes and neutral colours of our clothes storage solutions blend harmoniously into any interior style.

Let our organisation systems and the many small storage options for your clothes inspire you, and put together a wardrobe where you find your perfect outfit every day – with no more morning rummaging.

What's the best way to store and organise my clothes?

To find things quickly every day and always stay organised, sort your clothes by category and season. Keep the pieces you wear often within easy reach, and store seasonal clothing in storage boxes where dust can't get to it. Delicate items and long garments can be hung carefully on hangers, while sturdier clothing can be folded and stacked for space-efficient storage. With a combination of shelf compartments, drawers, boxes and a hanging system, you can stow all your clothes clearly and with care. Do you already know which favourite piece gets the prime spot in the middle of your wardrobe?

Which container works best for storing clothes?

It depends on the item and how long you want to store it. For longer-term storage that saves space, boxes with lids work best. Transparent versions let you see what's inside at a glance, while fabric boxes are more flexible – and closed with a lid, they also keep annoying dust at bay. Stackable lidded models are also perfect for seasonal clothes you might want to put away in the cellar for a few months. Larger containers are ideal for bulky textiles, while smaller compartments are often all you need for accessories.

What's the best way to store jumpers and T-shirts?

Your favourite jumpers and T-shirts are ideally stored folded in drawers or on shelf compartments. Hanging delicate pieces such as knitwear leaves unsightly bumps at the shoulders. Fold everything evenly and stack pieces loosely on top of each other. With drawer dividers or flat boxes you can create a clear organisation system in your wardrobe and find every piece straight away. A particularly stylish approach for true organisation enthusiasts is sorting by the rainbow method – storing clothes by colour. It looks great, and it works especially well with open storage. Not your thing? No problem – our wardrobes with sliding or hinged doors have just as much style, and no one needs to know what it looks like inside.

What's the best way to store trousers and skirts?

Specialist clip hangers or rail hangers keep trousers and skirts crease-free in storage – and you'll save space with the vertical hanging too. Multi-hangers let you hang up to five pairs of trousers one above the other. One more thing: if you like planning your outfits in advance, you can lay them out on a clothes stand the night before. For more ideas on creative clothes storage, you're also welcome to visit us at your local IKEA store. Or try our online room planners – they let you plan your bedroom or dressing room digitally first.

What's the best way to store underwear and socks?

Underwear and socks need smaller clothes boxes: with drawer dividers or small compartments, you'll keep a clear overview and quickly find a matching pair in the morning. Sock pairs stay together, and underwear even stays folded.

What's the best way to store winter clothes?

Out of season, winter clothes are best stored in closed boxes – the important thing is to keep them somewhere dry. Wash all garments before putting them away and make sure they’re completely dry. Closed containers protect against moths and damp. The right IKEA clothes storage can then be tucked away space-efficiently under the bed or on high shelf compartments. Whether you keep your clothes in the bottom drawer of your chest of drawers, at the back of your corner wardrobe or on a cellar shelf, we're here to help you choose, assemble or organise.
