Instead, think of the benefits you will gain if you’ve cleaned and decluttered your home. Sometimes small, practical changes can be more powerful than you think. Dress it up or dress it down with these changes to the classic capsule wardrobe list. How does your wardrobe make you feel? You might also feel like you’re getting rid of a part of yourself.
Hollow bifold doors might weigh less than the mirrored doors. As you might expect, organizing a closet is not a one-and-done sort of job. 3. Sort your GO OVER pile items based on the 4 key questions. These hangers would probably work well for lightweight scarves, too, if you're a scarf-wearing sort of person. You can get them on Amazon, too, but they cost more.
They are on Amazon, too, for a fairly reasonable price. They stay on the cascading hangers better, take up less space than fatter plastic hangers, and clothes are less likely to fall off them when you're squishing them into a tight space (especially slinky shirts with a wider neck). Take what’s in the back of the closet and move it to the front. You can also do a test run with a particularly understanding friend who won’t mind if you ask for that purple cashmere cardigan back in a few weeks-just make sure to set expectations!
Also at Walmart I picked up a few of these multi-pant hangers for slacks. In them I keep gloves, hats, yoga pants, swimsuits and my “unmentionables.” They are quite inexpensive on Amazon and come in a few different colors. Here's this kind on Amazon. First, I'll start by showing you how I store my own clothes. If you want to declutter, socks are a good place to start. You'll also want to make sure they are tall enough to allow you to fill the drawer as full as you want; some are shorter to fit in kitchen drawers.
You can do this by adding drawer dividers. If your RV has drawers for clothing storage, one way to make better use of the space is to add dividers which allow the drawers to be filled to the top without becoming too messy. If you buy them, be sure to measure your drawer before ordering; I made the mistake of assuming any adjustable drawer dividers would work and ended up having to return a set of dividers that were too long.
Here's a set of drawer organizer containers that have smaller sections to help you be super organized, but you could also just use a cardboard box. Another Walmart find was these multi-level clip hangers, which I use for skirts and shorts. Higher hooks can be used for items that receive occasional use. 4. Duplicate Items. … Those “just in case” items or that updated version of something you already have.
Thankfully, I live in a condo, so I don’t have to worry about outside maintenance. I’m not used to it so I don’t wear them much. That pushes the older stuff to the front, where I’m more likely to see it, grab it, and figure out new outfits. It was summer when I bought it, and instead of hanging it up I ended up putting it in the storage area under the bed where I forgot about it.
The hardest part was putting up the rails. These aren't in my closet, but they are an important part of my clothes organization strategy. The next part of your decluttering plan is what you’ll do with the stuff you’re getting rid of. How do you know when you have too much stuff? I have a pretty good sized closet for an RV; it's the type with sliding mirrored doors. If you don't have a lot of shoes (5-10 pairs), I would organize them from most causal (flip-flops) to most casual (dress shoes), keeping the type you wear most often closest to your reach.
Most people use between 10 -14 pairs of socks in their regular weekly cycle. Your total should be about 10-20 pairs of regularly worn socks. If you wash your clothes more than once a week you will need far fewer socks. We teach our kids about survival, self-sufficiency, gardening (vegetable, herb, flower), orchard, beekeeping, home keeping, soap making, harvesting, cooking, food preservation, livestock, nature, crafts, homesteading tools and wares, and more…
Pictured below is a drawer I organized using bamboo drawer dividers, but you can buy plastic ones more inexpensively, or make your own out of wood or cardboard if you're crafty. 5. Drawer Cleaning. … I love these bins from The Container Store. Another way to achieve the same thing is to put a container inside a drawer, as Australian RVers Allan and Emma suggest in their article about clothes storage ideas.
One way I save space in our closet is by using these cascading hangers for sweaters and blouses, which allows them to take up much less horizontal space. 1. Take everything out of the closet/drawers. Not only does stress make us feel out of control and unsettled, it also causes our bodies to release cortisol, which clouds our judgment, according to McGill University neuroscientist Daniel Levitin.
