So, you’ve just done two loads of laundry and are faced with putting your clothes away, this is the perfect time to reevaluate your closet and dresser space. We have a tendency to overcrowd by stuffing clothes in drawers or hanging things without giving a thought to making those spaces organized. We hang things that could be folded and fold things that could be put on hangers. So, here are some of the ways we can make the decision about how to store our clothing that will help us find what we need and never have to consider the situation again.
- Start by removing everything from your closet and your dresser. I know this seems drastic, but it will give you a fresh look at what you have. It will also give you the opportunity to clean the space and possibly donate what you no longer wear.
- Dresses, suits, pants, and blouses should all end up on hangers. These are items that generally wrinkle easily or are too bulky to fold.
- Casual wear like jeans or t-shirts can take up hanging space when they can easily be folded. Any clothing that doesn’t have to be ironed can be folded.
- Scarves can be folded and placed in a drawer making it easy to see when looking for an accessory to go with that special outfit. Hanging scarves is an option but they can become difficult to access and appear messy. There are wonderful drawer inserts for keeping scarves neat and free from unraveling.
- Folding under garments can be time consuming but the result is a better way of finding what you need instead of rummaging through a pile. When it comes to socks, folding pairs in half instead of rolling them into themselves will save space and keep them from stretching. Using drawer inserts for socks is also a better way of using drawer space.
- If you have shelves in your closet, use shelf dividers to keep folded items in order.
Take the time to evaluate what’s in your closet or dresser and you will find it will be easier to maintain what you wear.
It’s as simple as that!
