Make every centimetre work harder with tailored hanging organiser solutions. From walk-in wardrobes and linen cupboards to pantries and laundries, Joyce Kitchens designs and builds custom cabinetry in WA to suit your lifestyle and home.
What is a hanging organiser?
In wardrobes, a hanging organiser boosts wardrobe hanging storage so you can sort everyday items at eye level. In kitchens and laundries, the same idea applies to tea towels, cleaning gear and small appliances using rails, racks and wall-mounted systems. For Perth homeowners, this is an affordable way to add function without enlarging the room.
Core storage insights for WA homes
Why hanging solutions shine in compact spaces
- Use vertical space: Double hanging for shirts and skirts increases capacity by up to 80% compared to single rails.
- Grab-and-go ergonomics: Keep daily-use items between 900–1500 mm from floor to reduce bending.
- Flexible fitouts: Clip-in rails, baskets and hanging wardrobe shelves can adjust as your needs change.
Where to use them
- Wardrobes: Add a hanging clothes organiser in a walk-in robe or behind sliding doors.
- Pantries & sculleries: Door-mounted spice racks, tea towel rails, and hanging baskets in a butler’s pantry.
- Laundries: Wall rails over a benchtop for drip-dry items; fold-away airing racks.
- Entry/Mudrooms: Hooks and hanging cubbies for school bags and hats.
Integrate with your kitchen and whole-home design
Joyce Kitchens brings the same design intelligence we’re known for in kitchen renovations Perth—think shaker kitchen, Hamptons style or sleek contemporary kitchen—to wardrobes and laundries. We match door profiles (two‑pack polyurethane or vinyl wrap), finishes, and hardware, creating a unified look across your kitchen, scullery, laundry and robes.
Our design and renovation process
1) Consultation and measure
We visit your home to measure accurately, assess ceiling heights, door swing, ventilation and lighting. We’ll map out rails, drawers, hanging wardrobe shelves and accessories like pull-down rails.
2) Design and selection
Choose materials and finishes that suit WA conditions—coastal humidity, summer heat, and everyday wear. We specify quality hardware (Blum or Häfele soft-close drawers, pull-outs and corner solutions) for long-term reliability.
3) Compliance and documentation
We align cabinetry with relevant guidance and good practice such as AS/NZS 4386 (Domestic kitchen assemblies) and use reputable trades. For building works, we recommend HIA or MBA WA contract frameworks and licensed contractors.
Suggested references: HIA, Master Builders WA.
4) Manufacture and installation
Perth-made cabinetry, factory assembled, then installed with care—dust protection, precise scribing to walls and ceilings, and clean handover.
Materials and finishes
Best choices for wardrobes and laundries in WA
- Melamine board (thermally fused laminate): Hard-wearing and economical; ideal for robe carcasses and shelves.
- Two-pack polyurethane doors: Premium painted finish that pairs beautifully with shaker or Hamptons profiles.
- Vinyl wrap doors: Durable and easy to clean for busy family laundries.
- Powder-coated steel frames and rails: High strength with corrosion resistance—great for coastal Perth suburbs.
- LED strip lighting: Low-heat, energy-efficient illumination for wardrobes and pantries.
Benchtop reality check for kitchens, sculleries and laundries
Benchtop selection impacts durability, compliance and cost. From July 2024, Australia introduced a national prohibition on most engineered stone containing crystalline silica. Always confirm materials comply in WA. See guidance from WorkSafe WA: WorkSafe WA.
Engineered Stone vs Laminate (WA context)
| Feature | Engineered Stone (compliant alternatives) | Laminate Benchtop |
|---|---|---|
| Compliance | Check for silica-free or compliant products; must meet current Australian regulations and fabrication controls. | No silica fabrication risks; widely used and compliant when installed to standard. |
| Heat & stain resistance | High heat resistance varies by brand; use trivets. Good stain resistance. | Good for everyday use; avoid direct heat and cut on boards. |
| Look & feel | Stone-like appearance; consistent patterns; modern aesthetics. | Vast range of decors including stone, timber and concrete looks at lower cost. |
| Cost (installed) | Typically higher; pricing depends on compliant product choice and fabrication. | Budget-friendly; excellent value for family kitchens and laundries. |
| Use cases | Premium kitchens, sculleries, vanities where specification allows. | Kitchens, laundries and rentals; quick upgrades and repairs. |
We also specify porcelain/sintered stone and natural stone where appropriate. Our team will guide you to compliant, durable options for your space.
Layouts and styles that work
Wardrobes
- Walk-in robe: U-shape with double hanging on two sides and long-hang on one; add a centre island if space allows.
- Sliding-door robes: Section the interior—half double hanging, a bank of drawers, and a column of hanging wardrobe shelves.
- Kids’ rooms: Adjustable rails that move up as they grow; labelled hanging organisers for uniforms and sport kits.
Kitchens, sculleries and laundries
- Galley or L-shaped kitchen: Maximise with pantry pull-outs, internal rails for utensils, and LED strip lighting under overheads.
- Butler’s pantry/scullery: Open shelves with hanging tea-towel rails; tall storage for appliances; soft-close drawers for smalls.
- Laundry: Hanging rail above a laminate benchtop for drip-dry; broom cupboard with clip-in holders.
Style cohesion matters. Whether you love a shaker kitchen with classic rails and panelled doors, or a handleless, contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances and a sleek glass splashback, we’ll echo those details in your wardrobes and utility rooms for a seamless whole-home feel.
