The perfect wardrobe organiser for your home
A well-planned, well-organised wardrobe saves time and energy in finding items, and can promote a sense of peace and well-being.
Whether your wardrobe is walk-in, or closet-style, when planning the perfect organiser, it's critical to assess both the dimensions of your space, and the amount and variety of your apparel.
Versatile storage solutions can be adapted to seasonal clothing rotations, ensuring heavier coats, for example, have ample space during winter months, while lighter garments are easily accessible in the summer.
Incorporate multi-level hanging options, and drawers for undergarments and accessories, and invest in quality hangers that maintain the shape and longevity of your clothes.
Consider implementing a colour-coding system to better organise your wardrobe, grouping items of similar hue together. This eliminates the hassle of searching through piles of clothes for that favourite black shirt.
Make use of storage bins and dividers to keep smaller items in place and to maximise space efficiency.
However, even with the best wardrobe system, it is important to regularly de-clutter.
Donate or discard clothes that you don’t wear, or are ill-fitting or damaged. This helps keep your wardrobe organised and prevents unnecessary clutter, makings room for new pieces that align with your current style and needs.
In terms of maintenance, periodically assess the condition of your wardrobe and make necessary repairs or replacements. Fix broken drawers or shelves, replace worn or broken hangers, and clean the wardrobe's interior of dust build-up.
Keeping your wardrobe tidy and functional can positively impact your daily routine and overall outlook on life.
So take the time to invest in the right storage solutions, regularly de-clutter, and maintain your wardrobe to reap the benefits of a well-organised space.
Walking into a Trends Kitchen showroom typically stirs a reaction in visitors. Awe quickly turns into excitement - fortunately, their talented and experienced design team are on hand to steer the ship toward each visitor’s individual goals.
The Trends team have accomplished an impressive feat. Establishing a space that contains a range of ideas, serving different functions and styles, but seamlessly melding these together to create a room full of stunning kitchens and home joinery options.
We spent some time with the design team to see their leading advice, and here’s what they had to share.
“Renovations have seen a surge in the past few months, with customers hoping to achieve the latest trends in their new kitchens. Visual elements such as textured panelling, height and depth variation, statement metals, and natural finishes with earthy or organic tones have made their way into many customers’ wish lists. Function-wise multi-purpose kitchen spaces, socially orientated layouts, integrated appliances, creative cabinetry solutions and user-specific storage spaces are key features that have cemented their place in thoughtful design and custom manufacturing.
Mixed materials and textural elements are continuing to gain traction in the kitchen design world. We are seeing a huge increase in grooved, and slatted cabinetry elements. Whether it be the resurgence of fluted glass, the addition of sophisticated scalloped cabinet fronts or the evolution of the timeless slatted detail, our team are continually developing new ways to incorporate these elements into our client’s new kitchens.
There is understandably a focus on eco-friendly, non-toxic surfaces in the industry at present, and our clients are becoming more considerate of the materials they are investing in. TriStone benchtops are a popular choice, being BPA and silica-free, and providing customers with a range of design freedoms with clever design styles and a large range of colours.
Open-plan living is a key feature of today’s homes, so it is vital to consider how your kitchen finishes will impact the surrounding spaces. When viewed as a whole, you want a cohesive flow with elements that form a connection throughout your home, avoiding a dominating feel from one space. Because of our leading manufacturing capabilities, we can create joinery for a multitude of spaces in a home, from laundry, shelving units and wardrobes to built-in office spaces. Incorporating the chosen design details throughout these areas in your home is a way to achieve this and to lift the quality of the finish.”
Trends invite you to visit any of five showrooms located throughout New Zealand, whether you are renovating or creating a new home.
They are well-equipped to assist home owners with the important task of designing their new kitchen and home joinery areas, and they have teams available in Auckland, Cromwell, Nelson, Blenheim, and Christchurch.
Bathrooms are one of a home’s most hard-working rooms, which can lead to those stubborn milky spots and smears on you shower glass that are such a headache to get rid of.
Minerals in water inevitably become trapped in the microscopic pores of glass and, being stubbornly resistant to standard cleaning products, the tiny particles of calcium and lime remain embedded, no matter how much elbow grease is applied.
To save the glass, you need a specialised product.
The most effective is arguably the “special drawing paste” created and patented by The Water Stain Doctor. There is also a special barrier layer that can be applied (NanoCoatClear) to protect the glass’s pristine new finish.
The Water Stain Doctor makes house calls for Canterbury, the Southern Lakes, from Timaru to Hanmer Springs and has restored hundreds of showers to crystal clarity.
Many people miss out on the benefits of The Water Stain Doctor’s services because they think shower stains are like other stains that can be removed with a do-it-yourself cleaner. They often end up spending hundreds of dollars and many hours of their time, without getting the clear glass they want.
That’s why many clients find it easier and cheaper to call The Water Stain Doctor first.
In addition to keeping shower glass sparkly clean, the team also takes care of door car, bus, boat and marine glass, ensuring your glass surface is pristine.
Demand for shower cleaning picks up in the summer season as people prepare for the busy social season ahead. As such, people are encouraged to book early. All quotes are free and fixed before work begins.
