Your bedroom closet is the place where most of your clothes are stored. In fact, for a lot of people, all the clothes they own go into the bedroom closet. Thus, it is important for the closet space to be used properly unless you are one of the lucky few who are blessed with a huge closet. The following are some points which will help you organize your bedroom closet –
Closet Weeding
Closet weeding means being brave and giving up on things you don’t need anymore. Ideally, a proper weeding should take place at least once every 6 months, especially if you tend to buy a lot of clothes. The benefit of closet weeding is that you are left with the clothes you really use and the rest can be donated to orphanages, friends or family members.
Closet Installations
It is not necessary to call a closet installation company to make room in your closet. These days, you can simply give the dimensions and description of your closet to the right people and they will pick out simple installations for you that you can fix yourself. These installations could help you to really use the space that is available to you in the closet. A few shelves here and there, an additional rod, some baskets and boxes, and partitions can transform the look and utility of your closet.
Organization of Clothes
Keeping your clothes organized in your closet can also help to free up a lot of space. For instance, the space on top of your clothes can be used to store hats. In this way, they will not get rumpled. Always sort out your clothes on the basis of type. Shirts should go together, followed by all your skirts, trousers and pants, and jeans. Same goes for shirts. Reorganize your closet depending on the season. For instance, during summers, you would need your shorts and so, you can fold them on top of each other and stack them neatly on a shelf. Make sure the folded part is facing out so that it is easy to pull out the shorts.
Choosing Hangers
Your hangers are extremely important and you should choose them with care. If your closet has less space, go for slimmer and smaller hangers. In this way, they will take up less space. Also, make sure all your hangers are the same so that they fit together perfectly. The size is another important aspect. Buying huge hangers for a small closet can eat up a lot of space.
Shoes
If you have a lot of shoes, you can store them at the shoe space provided at the bottom of the closet. However, it is often noticed that about a foot of space is left unused between the shelf and your shoe space. You can install another shelf to stack more shoes there. You can also add a basket for storing dirty laundry, gym clothes, socks, and accessories.
Take a good hard look at your closet and think about all the space getting wasted, and what you can do about it.
