8 Times to Hire a Wardrobe Designer
These pros create order out of chaos, whether in bedrooms, playrooms or pantries
Wondering if it’s time to hire a wardrobe designer? Organising professionals are experts at making the most of the space you have. Some wardrobe designers specialise in customising and installing wardrobe systems, while others offer space-planning services, custom cabinetry, built-ins and more. Here are 10 times it makes sense to reach for the services of these organising pros – including tackling that classic quandary, a wardrobe full of nothing to wear.
1. You don’t want to declutter – you just want to be neater
A whole wardrobe full of nothing to wear. Sound familiar? If you love your stuff and don’t want to pare down but are fed up with facing a messy mountain of clothes and shoes, a wardrobe designer can help. As a rule, wardrobe designers won’t hound you to trim your shoe collection or cull those 10 nearly identical pairs of black pants. What they will do is design the perfect storage system to keep all your favourites in good shape, so you can walk into your wardrobe each morning feeling inspired rather than defeated.

2. You’re welcoming a new baby
Having a new baby at home is hard enough. Add to that the tidal wave of baby gifts and complete lack of sleep, and you’ve got a recipe for chaos. A wardrobe designer can help set the stage for a calm, well-organised home by creating tailor-made storage for the baby’s things.

6. You want to tame the toy chaos
Playroom or kids’ room driving you batty? It could be you simply don’t have the right kind of storage to easily hold all those stuffed animals and Lego bricks. A wardrobe designer can set you up for success with storage options tailor-made for the toys your family has now, plus room to grow. Bonus: With well-organised wardrobes and built-ins, you’ll probably end up with more free space in the room for, you know, actually playing with all those toys.

Like professional organisers, wardrobe designers are well versed in using space efficiently. But while a professional organiser is a bit like a life coach for your stuff, a wardrobe designer’s work is more tightly focused on maximising the use of space in your wardrobes and cupboards. If you still need to do a fair amount of decluttering, you might want to tackle it on your own – or hire a professional organiser – before moving on to a wardrobe designer. If you have already pared back and need a hand in getting what’s left beautifully organised, a wardrobe designer can help.
