IKEA's GLAMBERGET Is The Solution To Your Organized Wardrobe Dreams

There is nothing worse than a closet that is cluttered chaos. If you step inside your wardrobe and are met with a mess of overflowing clothes that are difficult to navigate, it's time to find a new storage solution that will make it easier to see your pieces. And one easy way to do that is to add a freestanding wardrobe like IKEA's GLAMBERGET wardrobe to your room. This gives you nearly 4 feet of extra storage space, allowing you to comfortably fit your overflow pieces, making it easier to peruse your collection. 

Why this IKEA piece, specifically? The GLAMBERGET wardrobe is part of a series that specifically focuses on creating compact, multi-functional furniture, helping you make the most of everything from a small apartment to a house with minimal closets. It's large but compact, clocking in at 46 inches wide, 25 inches deep, and 59 inches tall. It has two sliding doors, and since the back also has two sliding doors, IKEA encourages you to use it as a room divider, making it multi-functional. Here are all the ways to use it to double your closet space. 

It might sound odd to use a freestanding wardrobe to organize your closet, but it will help you move some of your clothes out of your primary closet, giving everything more breathing room. Since items won't be crammed up against one another, you will be able to better assess what you have, what needs to be pruned, and what you want to wear that day. 

For instance, you can use the GLAMBERGET as your capsule wardrobe, moving your favorite pieces into the freestanding cabinet and allowing yourself to get dressed with your most feel-good picks. However, if you have more clothes than would fit within its confines, you can instead use the GLAMBERGET as seasonal storage, using a simple closet rotating technique to pack away anything that's no longer fit for the weather.

If you use your primary closet as a catchall storage space — storing random things like sports equipment and holiday decor among your clothes — you can instead use this IKEA piece as an extra storage cabinet for those items. Haul them out of your closet, and pack them within the wardrobe. That means if your bedroom is small, you don't even have to set it up there. Instead, you can also place this in your living room, entryway, or back porch if you have one.
