A wardrobe in a small flat
Short answer: With little space, the number of items matters more than the storage. Fewer good pieces take less room and get worn more often than a full wardrobe.
Fewer items rather than cleverer boxes
Storage solutions move the problem. Only the number solves it. See bamboo clothing for women.
Splitting by season frees space
Pack away what you do not wear in the current season. That halves the space the wardrobe needs. See bamboo t-shirts for women.
Plain colours take less mental space
When everything works together, you need fewer pieces for enough combinations. See bamboo tops for women.
Under the bed is the overlooked space
Flat boxes under the bed are the best place for seasonal clothing in a small home. See bamboo underwear for women.
