Things that can be worn again often end up on a chair or armchair in the bedroom. That doesn’t exactly call for a feel-good zone! We present 12 ideas on how you can store worn clothes – and your room will look flawless.
Quickly step into comfortable sweatpants at home, the blazer was only worn briefly and the jeans are also still clean – where should you put your day outfit? There are items of clothing that do not need to be washed immediately after being worn once and for a particularly short period of time. And: Washing less is good for the environment and makes housework easier for you!
Often it is enough to let the good piece air out, preferably on a hanger outdoors. For body-hugging clothing, such as B. underwear, however, this is not advisable. And quite clearly: Does an item of clothing smell unpleasant, e.g. B. because it has been sweaty, it goes of course in the laundry!
But where should the laundry go now, which ekes out its existence between being carried and the laundry basket? We have a few ideas!

Instead of a compact wardrobe, individual (designer) hooks, cleverly distributed on the wall, are a real eye-catcher.
6. Open shelf
Some people have turned away from the classic wardrobe and feel more comfortable with an open shelving system. In this case, it is very easy to reserve a spot on the shelf for worn clothing. But even with a closet in the room, an additional shelf provides storage space and enough space for laundry – this can be a waist-high or a narrow high shelf, depending on what fits better in the room.
7th box
The laundry basket with dirty laundry is joined by a box with worn clothes. The option is not ideal for pieces that are prone to creasing, but optically creates more order in the room.
8. Laundry collector
That Box system is very popular when it comes to sorting laundry and can just as easily be used for storing items that have been worn! Blazers and blouses can hang on the side.
9. Chest
A bench with a chest serves several purposes:
- your worn underwear disappears in it,
- your bedroom will look neat and …
- … you can sit on it – very helpful for some pantyhose escapades!
10. Mirror with shelf
