Requires assembly.For storing clothes and shoes, ELVARLI is a flexible and beautiful open storage system with its modern white lines and durable bamboo shelves. Whether you take home a ready-made combination we’ve already planned or create your own solution, you can get custom organization for your bedroom, hallway, living room or home office. Its click-in function makes it easy to assemble, disassemble and rearrange.

The choice is yours with ELVARLI. See everything at once with open shelves, or go open and hidden with shelves and soft-closing drawers. Hang a lot of clothes or none at all. Whatever you choose, you can always adapt or extend ELVARLI if you change your mind, needs or address! This is a reference guide created to better assist customers when purchasing products.

How to plan

What do you want to store?
Sort through all the clothes you own. Count how many pieces you want to store in each category like shoes, dresses, sweaters, pants, etc.

How much space do you have?
Determine where you want your open storage solution. Sketch out the space, measuring from the floor to the ceiling and between the walls. Take detailed measurements, note any windows or doors and allow for opening and closing doors. Consider any radiators, pipes, ventilation or other features that could affect your storage solution.

Pick a base
ELVARLI can be made using a wall-anchored side unit (1) or a ceiling-anchored post (2) as a base. The post height is adjustable between 222-350 cm (87¼- 137¾”). The side unit is available in two depths: 36 cm (14⅛”), 51 cm (20⅛”) at a height of 216 cm (85″). Remember! Every post must have brackets for each interior that you add. Every side unit must have a cross-brace.

Choose the interiors
Clothes rails, shelves, inserts, drawers and shoe shelves are the ELVARLI interiors. Choose a combination of interiors to solve your specific storage needs. All interiors are available in two widths: 40 cm (15¾”), 80 cm (31½”), and two depths: 36 cm (14⅛”), 51 cm (20⅛”). Remember! Although an insert can be used on its own as a compartment for boxes or folded clothes, every drawer must have an insert.

Calculate the width
Make sure your solution will fit in your chosen location. Whether you use posts or side units, you will need to allow for extra width. Calculate the width of your storage solution using the information on page 3.

TIP! Organize and maximize
Complete your new storage solution with boxes and inserts from our extensive range of interior accessories. They help you get even more organized so everything is easy to find. Check out our favorites on page 9.
