Initially, it is necessary to understand where the superfluous or unnecessary things come from, which subsequently lie in the closet for many years and are not used by anyone at all. It is necessary to understand this even if only in order to try to avoid such purchases in the future, because it is precisely this that often hinders the proper organization of storage of clothes in the closet.
There are a small number of situations in which we can acquire something without good reason:
- Stocks or sales are the most serious ploy of marketers and sellers who are trying to impose their product on you. It must be admitted that they do it very well, because few can safely go past the signs with the word discount.
- Another important factor in piling up unnecessary trash in the closet is the case when a person buys something for entertainment while shopping. The words “just take a walk and see” often end up buying a new thing and an unnecessary item.
- Often a person can acquire a very beautiful thing, ideally suited to him and of high quality, but as it turns out at home, it does not at all combine with his other things. In the end - she has to hang the rest of her life in the closet without any need.
- In most cabinets, especially for women's wardrobes, you can easily find many unnecessary things that remind you of something:
- the first stilettos in which it is impossible to walk because they press very hard;
- Prom Dress;
- a scarf from a former man with whom she had an affair, but this accessory does not fit any thing in her wardrobe; etc.

How to put things in the closet?
A very important point in placing your things in the closet are the following nuances:
- color order - if things are laid out by color on shelves, then it is much easier to look for them, when for example, it is necessary to get a gray jacket.
- lighting design - if it is possible to install a backlight in a spacious closet, this will greatly speed up the search for the item you need.
Another option for sorting things, in addition to color, is subject. This is when things with the same purpose lie with each other:
- trousers next to trousers;
- sweaters next to sweaters;
- dresses hang in one group;
- the laundry is folded organized according to any principle that suits you.
Important! But at the same time, there is one important nuance to everyone how to put things in the closet correctly - household items must lie on a separate shelf from the clothes that you wear at the exit.
Storage Cabinets
Recently, the style of open cabinets, shelves or designs in which doors are made of translucent and light materials has gained great popularity. This mod gives certain advantages:
- This visually expands the space of the room in which the closet is standing, because the massive wooden door takes a lot of space and attention.
- All things remain under supervision or in sight, regardless of the order in which they are placed on the shelves.
Important! Remember that periodically you need to wipe the dust in the cabinet so that clothes do not accumulate it. And so that you have to do it less often, and not only regarding shelves in furniture, find out about than wiping the dust so that it sits less.
But how to properly lay out things in such a closet so that the storage of clothes does not look unaesthetically pleasing? - Let's try to determine the basic principles:
- If possible, on the nearest shelves in the closet it is necessary to leave only clothes for a particular season. This is necessary so that in the summer you do not look for T-shirts among sweaters, as well as warm tights.
- Twice a year, packages or boxes with seasonal items will be reviewed, and their contents will change. Such an action does not take a lot of time, but it has a huge number of advantages. Besides the fact that only those things that can be worn at this time of the year will be on your shelves, you will have an excellent opportunity to review all your things, distributing or throwing away excess.
- All clothing is stored only clean and dry. To help you get around this task faster during spring cleaning, use the helpful tips how to wash clothes from different fabrics.
Important! When installing a transparent or open cabinet, configure yourself to the fact that you have to slightly adjust your habits. Upon arrival home every day you will have to put the things you have taken into place - carefully, accurately, without leaving it “for later”. Only with this approach, storing things in a closet will look orderly and correct.
We get rid of unnecessary and unnecessary things
If you believe the statistics, then only 20% of all clothing that is available in our closets is constantly used. The rest - lies on the shelves, prevents you from looking for the things you need, take up space, as well as free energy in your apartment.
Important! You should not store things that you have not been using for more than two years. It is proved that they are likely to continue to dust together, without attracting your attention.
On women's shelves very often you can find those things that do not fit her size. These things are divided into 2 types:
- “So far it’s not enough for me, but by the summer I’ll lose weight and will wear without taking off”;
- “I couldn’t lose weight, and for the time being these things are too big for me, but suddenly I’ll get better again.”
Important! You don’t need to leave any items that are not suitable for you in size. As has already been proved in practice and experience, only 1 out of 100 such things left “just in case” are waiting for this case. In all other situations, these things are eventually thrown away, after passing several years of useless taking up space on a shelf. It’s better to immediately free up space in the closet for beautiful, fashionable and new things that really suit you right now and you want to wear them.
Bringing beauty to the closet
In order to maintain order in your closet it was more pleasant and easier, it is also necessary to create there not only a comfortable, but also a beautiful environment. Storage cabinets should be organized according to the following rules:
- Packages or boxes with shoes or other things should be left only in a pleasant appearance, not torn or dented.
- If you have time, as well as desire, you can paste them over with pieces of wallpaper remaining after the repair or with gift paper.
- You do not need to use disposable plastic hangers - they look ugly, and because of the quality far from perfect, they can make unnecessary puffs on clothes. It is better to get the same wooden coat hanger, they will delight the eyes of the owners with only one of their appearance.
- Do not hang 4-5 on your shoulders, or even more things - this will greatly complicate the issue of finding the clothes you need. On the shoulders there should be only 1 thing hanging on the crossbar - a skirt or trousers, and a maximum of 2 things on the shoulders themselves. Let them be larger inside the cabinet than the entire wardrobe will fit on 3 hangers.
- Quite often, there are a lot of things in the closet that need repairs or dry cleaning. They can still be worn, but you don’t have enough time to put the products in order, and the stack with such things lies and continues to grow. Having put things in order in your closet, you need to take them and bring all things to a state in which you can wear them.
- In no case should you hang blouses or sweaters with wool on your shoulders - they will stretch and look ugly. Carefully lay them out so that storing things in the closet does not cause the need for constant updating of the wardrobe.
Important! Fasten clothing that hangs on your shoulders with all the buttons. Thanks to this, you will keep intact not only the buttons, but also the products themselves, which will look neat much longer, and also retain their shape.
Useful tips for the proper organization of space in the closet:
- After washing and ventilating, put things from knitwear for long-term storage into plastic bags or bags and carefully place them on shelves.
- Sweatshirts, woolen pullovers, cardigans should not be put in the closet after preliminary ventilation.
- Hang long dresses, as well as skirts, on the shoulders, which have a horizontal bar for trousers, throwing the product over this horizontal bar. In this case, the hem of the dress or skirt will not be able to touch the bottom of the closet, on which dust is often collected.
- Hang skirts on hooks by hooking them on the loops that are present on the finished products on the wrong side. You can also hang the skirt by hooking it with clothespins on special hangers.
- Fur hats and hats from different materials to store in a closet. Be sure to first fold them into special boxes for hats.
- Shoes must be stored in cabinets separate from the clothes, as the smells of shoe cream can soak into the clothes.
