The latter method helps me choose what I want to wear on a cold day quickly, while the former frees up hangers that I can use for button-downs and polos. Be sure to place all of your clothing on hangers that will keep them in place. The solution we decided on was a few six-cube cubbies in which we put inexpensive bins to keep all our undergarments. You'll save a lot of precious rack real estate by folding tees and sweaters and storing them on shelves and in cubbies.
My T-shirts are rolled up in my cubbies and my sweaters are folded and stacked neatly on a shelf. If you are still not quite sure how to pare down, Hillary from Simplify Your Life will walk you through your closet audit step by step. Plus the closet looks fresh, fun, and happy when you walk into it when it's color-coded.
The ladder is necessary if you plan to maximize your space and use an increased amount of the unused area of your closet. I don't feel too bad about it though, since I'm the one who has to take out the ladder to reach my clothing. I use my small ladder on a daily basis. Here, Michelle Smith turns a small closet off her living room into a stunning shoe closet by installing shelves and painting them a standout color.
While we have a large closet in our bedroom, there's not much room for a dresser in the room, which forced us to think of ways to store our socks, undies, and tees in an organized manner. At a hotel I just put my cubes in the dresser. A regular shirt doesn’t need to get in the closet it should be placed on the dresser.
Got a closet full of clothes but the pack rat in you can't seem to part with any of them? This kept them from getting damaged, but when I wanted to wear a pair, I had to open up multiple cases until I got to the pair I wanted. Whip that storage space into shape with these closet-organizing tips, tricks, and ideas designed to make getting dressed a little more enjoyable.
The 10 rules for getting rid of clothes. In the fall and winter, I do the same with my spring/summer clothes. You can apply the same principles to your closet space. Ladies, you can employ the same savvy storage technique by placing smaller handbags inside larger ones and hanging those on the wall. It's just like the ones that retail stores have to display glasses, and mine holds about 20 pairs.
Donating to a local charity seems to be the preferred method, but don't discount yard sales (I had one recently, and I made about $25 on clothing and accessories alone) and planning a clothing swap with your friends wherein you can unload some of your old items and take home a few new(ish) ones through trading. These come in a huge variety of materials, from metal to fabric to wood, and can help you keep your less-precious garments and accessories exactly where you need them.
To keep scarves, bags, and other accessories off the floor and from cluttering up drawers, install a few hooks on the walls so you can hang these items in a way that's aesthetically pleasing and easy to grab. Finally, organize the items by type. This refreshing, tea-length, asymmetrical dress from BCBG fits any body type and looks great paired with a cardigan or a short jacket. By having certain types of clothing in specific places, you'll be able to dress more efficiently since you'll save time on a daily basis when choosing what you want to wear.
Overindulging means having too much of something that makes life enjoyable. Until then, it stores perfectly on top of my clothes cubby without taking up too much space. And instead of taking up three feet of horizontal space on a shelf, the display consumes vertical space, of which there's plenty. Now all I have to do is spin the display and choose my style.
Look around your wardrobe and start removing items that are not wearable, you have not worn for years, or that you do not like. As we age, some of us tend to become attached to items that carry sentimental value. The case latches easily, and there's a handle that makes it easy to carry. When I want to pair a watch with a particular outfit, I just open up the case and pick my preference.
Instead of throwing a hodgepodge of watches in a box or tossing them on your nightstand, look into an inexpensive watch storage case. Unless you have a closet with 360 degrees of clothing racks, there's probably a lot of unused wall space that you can turn into storage. If, however, you shower before bed, you can wear them for many more times. Too many times our closets are dark and dreary so add some extra bright lights to your space for an easier time using the area!
