Organize your wardrobe: tips for a more orderly system

We all know the struggle of a messy wardrobe. But with the right closet and our tips for a thoughtful organization system, chaos relief is within reach. Read on to discover how to make the most of your closet space and finally maintain lasting organization.

Ever thrown a few things into your wardrobe and suddenly it's chaos? Don't worry—with the right wardrobes and a smart organization system, you can change that. Imagine finding everything right away, whether in a spacious family wardrobe or a slim, space-saving wardrobe for smaller rooms. And for kids, there are special children's wardrobes that bring order to the bedroom. Style matters too: a warm wooden wardrobe creates coziness, while a modular cabinet in black gives your room a modern edge. We'll show you how to make the most of your wardrobes and keep things organized long-term. Let's get organized!

Choosing the right wardrobe model

Before buying a wardrobe, think about whether you prefer hanging clothes on hangers or folding them away. Drawer cabinets can be super practical too, especially for storing accessories and underwear.

Modulare Kleiderschranklösung

Pick a wardrobe that fits your organization needs best. Customizable wardrobes like 'Der Grenzenlose' let you mix and match different cabinet modules with drawers or shelves and clothing rails flexibly, building your perfect wardrobe to suit your needs—also called a modular wardrobe. Compact wardrobes like 'Der Kleiderheld' work great for small spaces, kids' and teen rooms, and student apartments with limited space. For those looking for a floor-to-ceiling storage solution from the start, extra-tall wardrobe modules 'Der Grenzenlose' at 2.34 m high are the way to go. You can also adjust the wardrobe size to fit your space by mixing narrower and wider cabinet modules in white or anthracite. You can start with just 60 cm width and expand upward as much as you need—add as many elements as you like. Perfect, since you won't have to buy a whole new wardrobe when you move, move in with a partner, or your family grows. Plus, you get to choose between mirrored doors or solid doors. Mirrored doors are often super practical and can make a room feel bigger. But minimalists sometimes prefer the clean look without a mirror.

But that's not all! You can also decide your wardrobe height even after purchase. With the extension 'Der Hochstapler', you can easily expand your wardrobe upward. That way you get another level of storage and make full use of your bedroom ceiling height! Installation is simple and can be done right after setting up your wardrobe.

Besides the cabinet extension, you can also add mirrored doors later and swap out solid doors for them. Mirror doors for our wardrobe 'Der Grenzenlose' are available as accessories 'Die Verspiegelten' and go on in just a few minutes.

Looking for a space-saving or small wardrobe that's perfect for tiny rooms? Our compact wardrobe 'Der Kleiderheld' is your ideal choice—whether for a studio apartment or student dorm. Its slender design makes efficient use of your space without sacrificing storage. Best part: you can pick from three different interiors and decide for yourself whether you want more shelves, clothing rails, or a mix of both. So 'Der Kleiderheld' adapts perfectly to your needs—for clothes, accessories, or toys. With its practical height, these wardrobes are also ideal for a kids' wardrobe since children can easily reach their own things—perfect as a children's wardrobe!



Wardrobe organization with a system

"Everything has its place" is one of the most important rules for staying organized. It saves time when choosing your outfit in the morning and when putting away clean laundry. Pieces you wear often should ideally go at eye level. Smaller items like socks, underwear, belts, and such fit perfectly in drawers. Wardrobe organizers like boxes or drawer dividers help keep things neat inside your drawers.

Store folded clothes on shelves

Items like t-shirts and sweaters that aren't too wrinkle-prone work great folded and stacked neatly on shelves. You can usually place your wardrobe shelves wherever you want, so you control shelf size. Plan for several smaller shelves rather than big ones. That way you avoid tall stacks that topple easily. With the mokebo wardrobe 'Der Grenzenlose', you can order additional shelves 'Der Ableger' to add more compartments.

Clothing rail & hangers for shirts, blouses, and more

A good white wardrobe or one in other colors should have a clothing rail where you can hang wrinkle-prone items on hangers. Go for matching hangers to display your clothes neatly and save space. Hangers with a crossbar let you hang a matching pair of pants and top on a single hanger. Velvet hangers prevent slippery clothes from sliding off.

Sort by clothing type and color

Within your shelves or on the rail, things look most organized when you sort by color, type, and length—all t-shirts in similar tones in one stack, all sweaters in similar tones in another. For hanging items, it makes sense to organize them too—for example, hang all blouses from light to dark on one side, then longer pieces like blazers and dresses next to them using the same system.

Tips for more space in your wardrobe

Even the best wardrobe system hits its limits when you buy more clothes than you get rid of. Whether it's a bedroom wardrobe or a kids' wardrobe—everything needs proper organization. When hangers are too crowded or drawers barely close, it's time to declutter. Once a quarter or at least every six months, take a hard look: What haven't you worn in ages? What doesn't fit anymore? What can go?
If you want to tackle the problem at its root, get rid of an old piece for every new one that comes in.

If you still don't have enough space even with regular decluttering, try rotating your wardrobe seasonally. In summer, heavy sweaters and jackets go to storage and get swapped for light blouses and dresses; in winter, flip it around.

If space is still tight despite these tips, you can always expand easily with our modular wardrobe 'Der Grenzenlose' by ordering additional cabinet elements.
