Find an open space at home to collect all the clothes, and then sift through them one by one. Although this will take you some time, it is better than spending more time looking for clothes later. For such clothes that have been idle for a long time, such as those that have not been worn for several years, are worn out, and are inappropriate, pick them out and donate them or give them to relatives and friends. Since you are not going to wear them, don’t waste these things.

Take advantage of space-saving organizers

Most closets are divided into three areas: upper, middle and lower. Among them, the middle area is the most convenient golden area. Its length is basically the distance from your natural hand to your waist. Therefore, this area is most suitable for storing seasonal clothes.

If you want your closets to look clear at a glance, it’s best to store tops and trousers separately. Tops and skirts can be hung, remember to hang them by length, so that the space at the bottom of the short top can be used to store storage boxes,etc. You can fold all the pants, put them vertically in the storage box, and then place them in the space under hanging short clothes, so that every inch of space is not wasted.

Single-style and relatively long trousers, such as trousers, are not easy to wrinkle when stacked. It is also easy to find. You can consider using partitioned storage in stacking areas.

In addition, you can also consider wall-mounted storage racks or shoe racks to effectively utilize the wall space inside and outside the closet. Vertical space is one of the overlooked storage areas.
