Wardrobes are too old-fashioned and more and more people go for other options: separate closets, closets integrated into bedrooms and more and more ideas to make the space airier and more open. You’ll see all the shoes and clothes immediately and it will be easier to choose what to wear today. Besides, if you have super stylish clothes and shoes, why not make them part of decor? I’ve prepared some modern and fresh ways to make your clothes storage lightweight and cool, let’s take a look.
Ladders
An old ladder is a perfect piece for storing clothes, shoes, accessories – literally anything! Ladders can be used for storing shoes and accessories without any changes at all and if you want to build an open wardrobe, a great idea is using a couple of ladders and shelves for that. This way you’ll be able to store a lot of clothes and shoes plus all your accessories if needed. One more idea is attaching a ladder to the wall to use it as a clothes rack, very simple and easy. Don’t forget that you may go for various alterations: repainting, adding accessories and detailing and much more, make the ladder perfect for your interior.

Ceiling-Mounted Racks
Hang your wardrobe up to the ceiling, go for a ceiling rack of any materials that fit the space. It can be made of metal pipes, leather, branches, rope or anything else that you like. The look of the shelf is totally up to your space: it can be industrial, so you can use only metal pipes, it can be minimalist, so you’ll go for some metal pipes or wood and yarn of your choice. Make a stylish statement with a brass or copper rack of pipe, rather tall one, attached to the ceiling – looks wow!
