This week, I received a request to provide a
solution to the following question.
“I have too many clothes and a very small
closet. How do I get the most out of my
limited space?”
There are many options for solving the problem of limited
closet space and all of them require downsizing.
Before considering adding an armoire or other types of freestanding clothing racks, which are options, you need to take a serious look at what you have hanging in your existing space. Ask yourself if you still wear or use the items you have stored
there. Hoping you will wear something in the future isn’t a good reason to let it take over the space you need for items you truly need and use.
Curb the desire to buy new. Remove one blouse from your closet before replacing it with a new one. Not only will this maintain the amount you currently store, it will help you think
about whether you really need, and I mean need, another.
You may want to move seasonal items to containers for storage in a garage, basement, or attic. Just be careful to keep these at a minimum and remember to change them out before the next season.
As mentioned before, armoires or free-standing racks are available but do require additional floor space and that doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t face overcrowding at a later date.
Change how you look at what you own and know that even though its pretty that doesn’t mean you need to keep it. Donate, always!
It’s as simple as that!
