The key is figuring out what matters most to you in life. Being fashionable matters to me but I also have my own well defined fashion personality! Being that this was my career, you can see why this would be my problem area. These are called add-on hangers, because they can hang alone, or like in the picture, you can hook a bunch of them on each other to save a TON of space.
Like you I’ve already simplified most everything else but cleaning out my closet has always been a challenge. You have encouraged me to buy two books this week on decluttering and cleaning with natural products (I get very sick from the fumes of many store bought chemical based cleaners!!). While you have everything out for decluttering, this is a good time to give the bathroom a thorough cleaning. I haven’t had time or mental space to Declutter in one go but at least I know that by the end of the summer I will know what no longer fits or makes me happy.
I don't agree with getting rid of something if you haven't worn it in a year because I was in lock down during COVID for one and a half years. Your advice is very helpful and one of the best! The first piece of advice I can give you is to stay away from linen pants, they are fragile and constitute a problem of wrinkles. This method saves a significant amount of space and makes it so you can see all the shirts in your drawer at once.
It also reinforces the idea behind her strategy: Folding properly deflates clothes and maximizes the amount you can store. You can use these 5 basic steps to organize any space in your home! Here are some fantastic tips and solutions that you can use right now to create more space in your tiny closet, and maximise the space you have.
Whereas the closet can be used to hang clothes. Is it better to hang or fold clothes? There are also two ways to hang the shorts on a hanger that we will discuss. Doing this will give you a chance to solve the problem of disorganization. My problem is I have so much nice, classic clothing pieces that are new!
What do you do when you have too much clothing that you love? I love her books because they are very simple and straight forward. I'm unsure but I refuse to get rid of perfectly good, stylish clothing I love! Start by trying on each item of clothing you own. Take into consideration whether or not you want to go the extreme minimalist route by removing everything from your closet that is not part of your uniform, or if you want to keep some clothing pieces outside of your uniform.
If, however, your towel and sheet sets are more versatile and interchangeable, you may want to organize them by size, type, or color. Roll each knife in a full sheet of packing paper and then wrap a dish towel around them and secure the whole thing with a rubber band. Do you usually try on each thing in your closet when purging your clothes?
Try it and let me know how it goes! If you feel like you have too much clothing, I would try picking out your absolute favourites and maybe boxing up the other pieces to reduce the number of decisions you have to make each day. You may be surprised at how much more you can fit inside when you’ve tried some of these amazing tricks. Did it surprise you how much you were ready to let go of?
Then, keep the clothes not in your current size out of your closet or in a less accessible spot so you don’t have to sift through clothes that don’t fit to find clothes that do when you’re getting dressed. The biggest issue you’re battling with in a small closet is lack of space. Hi I am Jane and I live in Perth, Western Australia with my four kids, hubby and 3 cats in our small 1970's home.
So, we often have to make do with either this small cupboard space, or get a standalone wardrobe. Or maybe you have so many different clothes, that there is not enough room for them all, yet you still attempt to fit them all in within the normal hanger system. For example, you can have a bin for each child’s clothes, a bin for shoes, a bin for toys, and a bin for storage.
They can be “L” shaped or angled; either configuration can maximize storage in closet corners by adding space for folded clothing, boxes, shoes and linens. I buy very classic clothing, as a result, my clothing doesn't go out of style very quickly! I am going through each piece of clothing and asking these questions! A dresser doesn't just have to be storage for clothing. I have decluttered everything but clothing is "my issue".
