BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The wardrobe accessories cabinet is a furniture system. A cabinet is a furniture system with a right and left side panel, top panel or shelf and bottom panel or shelf. Wardrobe/Storage Cabinets currently have a variety of styles, colors, and sizes. Most wardrobe/ storage cabinets have shelves for folded clothing. There are shelves for hats, shoes, and extended rods for use with hangers for clothing.
Some have visible storage with or without front door closure. There are one door closures and two door closures. There are cabinets with open areas and drawers.
Most cabinets provide drawer and shelf storage for folded clothing, shoes, hats and horizontal extended rods for hanging cloths. Furniture sales are based upon the needs of consumers. Consumers need storage for clothing accessories without closet clutter. Belts fall off hangers. Wardrobe/ storage cabinets do not have easy access hanging storage for purses, belts, ties, and scarves. Scarves must be folded and put into drawers. This causes unwanted wrinkles. Belts, ties, and purses are either thrown at the bottom of a shelf or hung across a hanger and stuffed between clothing. Purses may clutter closets and cabinets. Consumers in a desperate attempt to find these accessories must dig through clutter on shelves or on hangers. Most wardrobe storage cabinets have a rod extended across upper and lower sections of the cabinet for hanger use. Some wardrobe/storage cabinets attach shelves for hat and shoe storage and drawers for accessories that can be fold up and stored. Most garments need to remain unfolded and free of wrinkles. These cabinets do not attach hooks to hang accessories or hooks for purse and belt storage.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION

The wardrobe accessories cabinet allows consumers to have individual storage for wardrobe accessories by suspending items on hooks. The wardrobe accessories cabinet provides rotating circle boards and a stationary, pullout or sliding shelf with hooks for wardrobe items. The hooks provide personal storage for each belt, scarf, or purse. The accessories cabinet can be stored in any room of the home. The front door closure hides or conceals all stored wardrobe accessories. The top shelf storage gives consumers rotation of hooks. The middle shelf storage has a stationary, pullout, or sliding shelf (based upon consumer choice) with hook storage for easy access and less bending. The accessories cabinet has color choice preferential to original home furniture. Hook storage should give each suspended item of clothing personal storage space. The wardrobe accessories cabinet gives easy access storage for belts, scarves, purses . . . etc so that they remain wrinkle free and uncluttered. The wardrobe accessories cabinet deters unwanted shuffling through clothing items on closet and cabinet floors.
