Airing Cupboard Shelf Buyer’s Guide
There’s not much worse than a messy airing cupboard, and a great shelving unit can help you keep your airing cupboard neat and tidy, with very little work required on your part. Clearly labelled shelves stacked with beautifully ironed sheets and warm towels – what more could you want?
But finding the best shelves for your airing cupboard can be tricky. You want shelves that allow your towels and linen to dry, and they need to fit neatly among the often-complicated airing cupboard pipework!
Here’s what to look out for when it comes to airing cupboard shelves.
Freestanding vs Adjustable
Your choice of either freestanding or adjustable shelves will depend on how much space you have available. Freestanding shelves take up more floor space but can be easily moved around. Adjustable shelves usually attach to the wall, so are ideal if you don’t have the floor space.
Size/Maximum Weight
If you have a large family or a shortage of storage space and your airing cupboard is bursting at the seams, you’ll need a bigger shelving unit with a higher maximum weight. Smaller airing cupboards for just 1 or 2 people can have shelving units that take up less space with a lower maximum weight.
Design
While an airing cupboard isn’t necessarily a room you’d hang out in (okay, apart from on very chilly days!), the design of your shelves is still worth considering. Shelves made from bamboo tend to be aesthetically pleasing as well as eco-friendly and durable. Metal shelves can also look super stylish and tend to be very sturdy and long lasting.
Adjustable shelves that can be extended depending on how much stuff you have are very useful and can also neatly fold away when not in use.
Compartments
An organised airing cupboard says a lot about its owner! Opt for shelves with different compartments will keep your airing cupboard in check. Compartments for towels, single sheets, double sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers will ensure changing your bedding is a breeze.
