thanks for the komplement


I would do anything to have this amazing storage system behind sliding doors in my bedroom. Did you hear me ... anything!!! The space we have is slightly smaller that the one shown here in the IKEA Wradrobe Catalogue and so i am going to improvise and use this design as my insiration. 
Collectively, we have over 100 pairs of shoes, and before you sigh and blame me, most of them actually belong to Matt. So, a shoe cubby is a must. Also a must is ample hanging space, drawers for the lacy knickers ha ha just kidding, I mean underwear and the like, somewhere for the tonnes of expensive jewells to bask in all their glory (ok there is no expensive jewellery, but there are plenty of plastic adornments that need a home!) and somewhere to store all those folded items like t-shirts and singlets.



This is my version of the storage system, which will hide behind 3 mirrored sliding doors. The left-hand side is specifically designed for a female, with 4 baskets for underwear, shirts etc, 4 jewellery storage trays with 9 compartments, a long hanging space for dresses and coats, and a space for shoes. 

Komplement Wire Basket from IKEA, $20 each

Komplement Storage Tray with 9 compartments from IKEA, $50 each

Komplement Storage Boxes from IKEA, $45.99 / 3

Having such a small space means we need to utilise every milimetre of space as best we can. The Komplement Boxes are a great way of hiding all those unslightly objects or mess of random bits & bobs in a neat minimal fuss way. They have a fabric strap which enable easy access, particularly when they are on a high shelf. The Komplement Storage Tray is the best thing I've seen since sliced bread, and it comes in three different sizes. We will have to go with the smaller size because of our space constraints but it will work just as well. No more lost earrings! Good one IKEA. And a big thank you in advance to my step-father who will be custom building it for us.
