Advantages of the Montessori wardrobe
- Children can access their clothes independently and make their own decisions.
- Choosing their own clothes supports the development of healthy self-confidence.
- Little ones can put away freshly washed laundry themselves and learn to take responsibility.
- the more you practise with your children, the more confident they will become in choosing clothes and getting dressed and undressed. Over time, this will make your everyday life easier.
Montessori wardrobe must not be overwhelming
You've probably already imagined your kids pulling the wildest outfits out of the wardrobe and wanting to combine the colourful snowsuit with frilly socks in midsummer. We're big fans of Pippi Longstocking and like to make the world our own, but you don't have to overdo it ;) That's why we have a few tips on how to keep your children's wardrobe organised.
Only seasonal clothes in the Montessori wardrobe
In summer, you only stock the children's wardrobe with summer clothes, in winter only with winter clothes, and so on. You keep the other items of clothing separately. The advantage of this is that you can regularly reorganise the wardrobe and clear out clothes that have become too small.
Everything has its place: organising the children's wardrobe clearly
T-shirts belong in a box, socks in the sock drawer and dresses are hung up neatly: wardrobe organisation in the spirit of Marie Kondo. Small boxes that additionally divide up your wardrobe compartments or drawer can help with this.
Montessori wardrobe with IKEA TROFAST shelves
With the practical IKEA TROFAST shelves, clothes can be sorted directly at child height into practical drawer. To keep the organisation in the Montessori wardrobe organised, you can use drawer or boxes with organiser stickers laminate. The symbols mean that even the youngest children, who are not yet able to read and write, know which items of clothing belong where.

Hanging on the spice rack
The small BEKVÄM spice rack* from Möbelschweden is extremely versatile in the children's room. In addition to books, playmates and small items of all kinds, it is also ideal for storing clothes. When hung upside down, it serves as a mini clothes rail.
ELVARLI wardrobe system with children's wardrobe
Another great idea is to set up a children's wardrobe for all jackets and shoes. The ELVARLI wardrobe system from IKEA*, for example, is ideal for this and you can put it together flexibly according to your wishes.
IKEA TROFAST wardrobe
A simple, less high shelf will also do. You can quickly install a clothes rail in the TROFAST shelf and store the children's clothes here. Your child now has the opportunity to get a good overview of the wardrobe themselves, as the clothes are now at eye level. Just like Montessori!
