Utilising the height of the wardrobe
What did you feel were the biggest challenges when it came to clothes storage?
“The limited amount of space, especially the shortage of space for hanging things up. There was a classic walk-in cleaning cupboard that I could use. Although you can step inside, it has 2 square metres of floor space at most. However, it’s lofty, which meant thinking vertically and making full use of the cupboard’s height.”
Elfa’s team, headed up by storage expert, Christine Dahlman, advised Emma to go for wire shelving and a door-hung rail with mesh baskets for accessories.
“Before the makeover, the cupboard was fitted with solid shelves and a rail for hanging clothes on. Fairly standard for this kind of space. After the transformation, the main difference was the greater focus on shelving and less on hanging space. That was a first for me.”
