The weather has turned cold and, whether we are going to work or out to play, we pull out our winter wear to bundle up before heading outside. We have sweaters, hats, gloves, boots, coats, and scarves and not only are they designed to keep us warm, they also take up a lot of closet space. They are bulky and when wet they can be a nuisance to deal with after coming in from the snow.
Here are some ideas for making space and keeping our floors dry.
- Next to a front or back door, hang hooks for those coats and scarves. This is a cost effective solution since they can be used for hanging backpacks and rain gear throughout the rest of the year.
- Place a plastic mat by the door for those wet boots and keep dry shoes close by for a quick change.
- For dry gloves and hats use baskets for those and, if they are damp, attach twine to a hook and use clothes pins to hang them to dry.
For other winter items like sleds, shovels, and anti-freeze, place them somewhere easily accessible and in places where the weather won’t invade your living space.
All in all, this is a great time of year with lots of celebrations and fun in the snow. So, think about your storage options and enjoy staying warm this winter.
It’s as simple as that!
