Organising with Masters – organised kids wardrobes

Category: Organising

This post is sponsored by Nuffnang and Masters

During the 20 Days to Organise & Clean your home challenge, I shared with you some before photo’s of my daughters wardrobe.  The organising hanger we were using was falling apart and couldn’t be easily fixed.  We had used this hanger for a good few years, it was time for an upgrade.

I really liked how organised the clothes were in the hanger, I wanted something similar, solid and wouldn’t easily break.  The ClosetMaid storage organisers from Masters were my answer.  

 I have used a 3 cube ClosetMaid organiser and 8 cube ClosetMaid organiser in each of the kids cupboards.  I put rubber stoppers on the bottom of the 3 cubes to stop it from moving and placed the 8 cube on its side which allows enough room for dresses and t-shirts to hang.  I am so pleased with the end result.

 I have used the ClosetMaid fabric drawers which hold the kids socks, undies and swimmers.  The beauty with these drawers is that I can just throw in these clean items, I don’t fold the underwear as they usually search through the pile and mess it up anyway and the drawers keep it all tidy.  

My girls now 9 and 7 are becoming fashionistas, loving to dress up beautifully when we go out.   So I have placed mirrors on the wall behind their doors.

I’ve also improved my garden next to my patio by adding a little bit of  potted colour and some Olsent Stainless Steel Solar lights to brighten our evenings.

    Hi, that all looks so neat and tidy. I was just wondering what you used, and how did you hang the mirror?

  • Utterly Organised

    I love the use of the cubes in the kids rooms, I must do this one as I just have a book shelf type thingy at the moment and a lot of wasted space at the bottom. LOVE this Kat x

  • Aileen

    Thanks so much Katrina. Looking forward to getting to Masters and shop, shop, shopping! I love that photo frame you’ve recommended, we will get a couple of those as it’s easy to keep it updated with all the photos frames being the regular 4×6 size

    I have just done the same thing in my two kids bedroom wardrobes last week, the cubes are amazing for clothes storage, and we have removed the dresser drawers from their rooms so they have alot more space to play in there now. I found the cube storage towers for 2 tier was $20 for 2 sets and 3 tier was $24 for 2 sets, bargain :-)

    Looks great I’ve been waiting to see how you used them as I was planning on getting them for my kids wardrobes as well. My girls already have beautiful chest of drawers in their room but I think I will skip getting one for my son using this system he wont need one which helps because he has the smallest room.

    We don’t have a Masters store in our area. Is there somewhere else that would sell the storage cubes?

      Bunnings sell a similar product and they even sell the containers that fit inside the squares. The other more expensive alternative is Ikea.

    What a great idea – putting the storage cubes inside the wardrobe is such a space saver. Will definitely be implementing this one! Thanks for sharing.

    I love what you have done to the kids closets! We have The Warehouse here which is kinda the same….the shelves and the fabric boxes are the same anyway and Im excited to see that I can do the same thing for peanuts here in NZ! Now just to get rid of the clutter in the closets and Im all set.

    You inspired me to clean up my wardrobe in my craft room – thanks so much. It really needed doing.
    I blogged my new craft room here: http://paperandribbonsblog.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/craft-room-reveal-part-2.html

    Hi I was just wondering which coat hangers do you use for both wardrobes? I struggles with the right sizes and types for my children and think these ones look great :)

  • Andrea

    Brilliant idea for the shelving inside the wardrobe! I am going to do that for DD6 this year!
