“Honey, have you seen my brown socks?”
“Yeah. They’re in the top drawer,” I answered
“Okay. have you seen my khaki trousers?”
“I think they’re on the clothes rack just outside our room,” I shot back.
“Thank you. Have you seen my Italian loafers?”
[Angrily] “For crying out loud! You’ve left them under the bed for chrissake! Again!” What do I do? How do I put everything in place so he wouldn’t ask me where stuff is every time?

You wouldn’t have to deal with this if you have your wardrobe sorted. And Urban Sales is going to give you tips on how to manage a space-efficient and highly functional wardrobe. When you get your wardrobe fixed, you’ll also save time finding the things you need.
IKEA ALGOT
One of the most practical storage solutions in a closet is the IKEA ALGOT. You can get a set composed of a clothes rod, baskets and wall shelves for a lot less than $200. Or you can make your own combinations of wall baskets, just baskets, and frames with rods.
You can get creative with every piece. And each one will fit a 1 square meter wardrobe perfectly.
IKEA SKUBB
For people who are really obsessed with organization, SKUBB boxes are your perfect mate. It come in different sizes for different purposes. Some boxes go inside drawers so you can no longer mix socks with ties, and normal panties from thongs. One is made especially to keep your shoes in place. Others are made to be imperceptible under bed storages.
Whichever you choose, though, you’ll have the desired storage for just about anything and everything that you think belongs in the wardrobe. And the SKUBB can be placed inside two other items on this list. Thus, the versatility of the SKUBB.
IKEA MULIG
The MULIG is functional and cheap. Have at the clothes bar which will be perfect in any small closet. It is the right length, variably from 60 cm to 90cm, which means it can fit most 1 sq. meter wardrobes.
