Open Wardrobes
An open wardrobe is an efficient and stylish solution for adding extra clothing storage to your home or business. Featuring shelving and hanging rails, it offers a practical combination of wardrobe storage options. Durable and versatile, our open wardrobe collection blends elements from our popular Chrome Wire Shelving range to create a strong, yet lightweight clothing storage system that is built to last.
With no doors to cover access, open wardrobes allow for easy accessibility and a clear view of stored items, making them ideal for organising clothes. The open-wire design promotes airflow, helping prevent clothes from becoming musty or damp, making these units perfect for drying garments in utility rooms or laundry areas. A popular choice for those seeking a minimalist or industrial-style wardrobe, open wardrobes can also provide the feel of a fitted wardrobe or even act as the base or shell of a custom-fitted wardrobe system. Whether you’re looking for storage solutions for small spaces or a flexible, easy-access wardrobe, our open wardrobes and clothing storage options will meet all your needs.
Lightweight and durable, our open wardrobe range is designed with simplicity and strength in mind, offering an efficient clothes storage solution. Each wire shelf can support up to 150kg UDL (uniformly distributed load), while the hanging rails can hold up to 15kg UDL each. Featuring adjustable uprights that allow you to reposition shelves every 25mm, and the option to add castor wheels for easy mobility, our clothes racks are a complete open wardrobe system, combining flexibility and functionality.

Sturdy and tough enough to meet the daily demands from storage areas, such as Warehouses and storerooms, yet visually appealing for use in displays at retail locations, our open wardrobes offer both style and functionality. These versatile storage units are perfect for any space where hanging and shelving storage are needed, including Clothing Stores such as Sportswear Shops, Boutiques or Menswear Shops. They’re also ideal for Venues that offer cloakroom storage, or at home, where they can help create a bespoke fitted wardrobe look in bedrooms or closets. Open wardrobes can even serve as a base or frame when building a fitted wardrobe system.
About our Open Wardrobes
With all the classic features of a conventional wardrobe, including shelves and hanging rails, our Open Wardrobe range is the perfect choice if you’re looking for a way to add more wardrobe or clothing storage space, without the cost or hassle of a fitted wardrobe. Unlike wardrobes, they have no doors or cover, providing a clear view of your wardrobe and making it easy to store and locate items.
Featuring our Clothes Racks products, open wardrobes allow you and customers to quickly find and grab what you need. They are durable, yet lightweight, with each shelf supporting up to 150kg UDL (uniformly distributed load) and hanging rails holding 15kg UDL. For added mobility, you can equip them with Castor Wheels (available included with the unit or separately), or use Storage Boxes for convenient storage of loose items.

Choosing an Open Wardrobe
-
WHY CHOOSE AN OPEN WARDROBE?
Without doors, open wardrobes provide clear visibility of clothing, making it easy to find and organise clothes. Very similar to open shelving, the design creates a striking look and keeps items in view, encouraging better organisation. The open layout allows for quick access, which is ideal for retail settings, as it makes it easier for customers to browse and the combination of shelves and hanging rails, means you can store everything.
-
WHICH CLOTHING STORAGE SHOULD I CHOOSE?
Open wardrobes, or clothes racks, are just one of our clothing storage solutions. Our popular Clothes Rails offer additional hanging space and come in various sizes and colours to suit your needs. For a wall-mounted option, view our Wall-Fix Hanging Rails. We also offer Clothes Stands, ideal for retail environments, providing 360-degree accessibility and tiered arms for better visibility. If you’re after a combination of shelving and hanging space, an open wardrobe is the perfect choice.

HOW TO ORGANISE AN OPEN WARDROBE
An open wardrobe can be easier to organise than traditional options like fitted wardrobes or drawers. Use Clothes Hangers to neatly hang clothing and maximise storage space with Storage Boxes or Baskets for shoes and accessories. Add dividers or organisers to separate smaller items and consider s-hooks for bags and hats. The open design makes everything easy to access, which is great for keeping your wardrobe tidy and organised.
