An organized person will never want to waste precious time searching for this or that thing in his wardrobe. And so that everything is easy to find, each thing should have its own place. To clean up the closet with clothes will help this article, which will give recommendations on this topic.
If the closet is a mess
Often the paradox is that we pay attention to such spaces as the living room or reception area, and not those that concern us and the organization of our things in the closet. But this is the main problem in most homes. The consumer attitude of many of us to clothes, shoes, bags and accessories, and at the same time the lack of storage space, all this requires us to think about how to organize the order in the closet with clothes. Indeed, sometimes there is not enough space even in a large closet. It all depends on how well things are stacked.
For example, you need to get clothes from the closet that you are going to put on at work. If there is no order, then the necessary things are difficult to find. It is paradoxical that there are a lot of clothes, and there is nothing to put on: something does not fit, somewhere the shirt, which was still hanging in the closet yesterday, disappeared, there are no shoes in place that fit a matched suit ...
As a result, instead of spending a few minutes on the collection process, without difficulty choosing the right one from the clothes neatly laid on shelves and hung on hangers, we spend precious time and a lot of nerves. And all the fault is the chaos in the enclosed space of the closet.
Organization of order in a closet with clothes
In order not to put things in order in the closet every month, you need to maintain it constantly. You just need to make a number of rules for yourself and adhere to them. We can agree that there are transitional seasons when we in our wardrobe begin to replace clothes with other ones related to the upcoming season. This is also a good time to review your wardrobe.
- The basic principle: whenever you update your wardrobe, making a global audit, ask yourself questions: do you need this thing, do you enjoy it, will you regret it if you part with this thing? Set aside clothes that you will no longer wear. You can give it away, and use it when worn when cleaning the house. By the way, do not forget to revise shoes and bags. Both that, and another become outdated and become unusable, as well as clothes.
- Sort clothes by season. If your closet is divided into several levels, use the lower shelves for seasonal items and take the rest of the items to the highest level. Make easy access to clothing that is used most often.
- Separate your clothes by season and category: work, sports, home, evening.
- Give up the habit of stuffing crumpled or messy things into the closet. Put the item on a shelf or hang it on your shoulders.
