In most homes, because the room area is limited, maximizing the use of space is a shortcut to solving space problems. However, the survey found that most families do not have very good storage designs for closets. For example, the usage rate of storage devices is very low, which reflects the unreasonable use of storage space in real life. Some places are full of things and some places are wasted. Serious, low utilization. So this article will introduce some tips to save space in your closets.
Organize and purify
I believe every family has this kind of doubt: Why can I never find the dress I want? How come the closet that I just put a lot of effort into organizing returns to a messy state within two or three days? In fact, the main culprit of a cluttered closets is that you already have a lot of clothes, but you can’t help but buy and buy them, and you don’t have the best and reasonable way to part with them after buying them. Before you organize your closets, you can do a closets self-examination to see which clothes you should get rid of.
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
There are only two ways to store clothes: hanging and folding. There is minimal hanging action. When you open the cabinet door, you can see which clothes you are looking for, and it is easy to take them out and put them in. Folding the clothes makes them smaller, so you can indeed fit more in them. It’s troublesome when I’m looking for it. The clothes are thrown one by one and become messy when I turn them over.
Stacked clothes are prone to wrinkles, and stacked clothes are difficult to find and easily clutter the closet. The closets should be a hanging area as much as possible. If possible, the hanging area should fill the entire cabinet. The folding area can be completely replaced with a pull basket or a drawer storage box. The internal layout of the closet can be all about hanging clothes, and the bottom is composed of pull baskets or storage boxes, which is flexible and adjustable.
The stacking area is divided by partitions. The distance between the partitions should not be too large. Removable partitions can be installed, which can be adjusted according to the clothes and are flexible and convenient to use. You can also add drawers and open compartments to flexibly store small items such as underwear and socks. The preset space at the bottom is also very popular now and can be used to store luggage and bags.
If you share a closet with your family, you need to divide it into different areas and store everyone’s personal clothes separately. In public areas, storage boxes can be used to place them separately. Each person has his or her own storage box, and the box is marked with a name to make it less likely to be confused.
Optimize closets layout
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.
Although it is more convenient to hang clothes, the hanging area takes up more space. If the closets is not big enough, it is recommended to create a proper stacking area. 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.
If smaller items of clothing such as underwear, panties, and socks are placed together with larger items of clothing, you will have to rummage through the cabinets to find them, but you may not be able to find them. In order to improve closets storage and make it easier to find small items of clothing, it is generally recommended to add 1-2 drawers to the closets to store small items of clothing.
Make the most of vertical space
When the width of a closets is limited, consider using vertical space to increase storage capacity. Install additional shelves or storage cabinets at the top of your closet to store seasonal clothing, boxes, or other infrequently used items. 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. We can use the vertical space to install hanging storage pieces, hooks, etc. to store items and save space.
Some home closets have folding doors. The doors will be thick when folded, creating a little corner area. You can place hooks or telescopic rods in this area to hang bags and clothes. You can install grid storage racks in the space next to the closet door. Wallets, jewelry, scarves, belts, etc. can be hung up to organize the storage of scattered items.
