It looks clumsy when you just throw things in your cupboard. Your cupboard looks messy and you end up taking a lot of time to find the clothes you want to. If you want to organize your cupboard and stack in all your clothes properly and save space to keep other essential items like jewelry box and knick-knacks, then you have to follow some simple rules. You do not need a large closet to store all your clothes, accessories and shoes. Here are five easy ways to organize your closet –
1. Hang Them Up – The easiest way to make space in your closet is to hang some of your clothes. You can hang all your clothes that are not made from stretchable fabrics. Use plastic hangers for your daily clothes, wooden coat hangers for your winter coats and jackets, and padded hangers for your delicates. When you hang your clothes up instead of folding them, you get a clear shelf space which you can use to store other items.
2. Keep Seasonal Clothes In – During the months of summer you don’t need the heavy bulky jackets and sweaters, so it makes no sense to keep them in your closet. Instead, you can move your off-season clothes and make room for clothes you will wear for the current season. This way your cupboard remains neat and you don’t have to pull your sleeve-less t-shirt from the midst of your jackets and pullovers.
3. Use Baskets – Another good way to tidy up and organize your closet is by using baskets and boxes. You can keep all your sports wear in one basket, and your house clothes and casual wear in separate baskets. This way, you know exactly which basket you need to look into when you want a piece of clothing.
4. Store Shoes In Boxes – It is easy to keep your shoes lying around your room. This ends up making the room dirty and you may also end up spoiling your shoes. Do not dump the boxes in which the shoes come, use them to store the pair. You can line the boxes on the lower shelf and label them. When you do this, you don’t end up with creased and folded shoes.
5. Use The Door Rack – The closets often have a door rack. Use this space to hang your bags and belts. This way, you can make space for other necessary items in your closet. Bags can take a lot of space and can also get spoiled if you fold or keep them crumpled up. Hang them on the door rack to make space and also keep them in shape.
Organizing a closet may seem like a herculean task, but it isn’t. Give some time to it and see your wardrobe transform into a space you love. If you spend one morning organizing your closet, you will heave a sigh of relief when you open it while rushing to work or school the next day.
