Organizing Your Closet Space

By Marley Smith


Always running late because you can't seem to find a particular garment that you like to wear? No more room for your newly purchased clothes because of so much clutter in your closet? Answering 'yes' to these questions simply means that it's about time to regain control over your clothes and other things inside your closet even before they conquer your bedroom.

Start with a clean slate. Empty your closet and as you do so, sort all of your clothing items by putting them in clean boxes marked 'for keeping', 'for giving away', and 'for throwing'. In deciding which item to put in a particular box, stick to the most basic rule: If you have not used it for one year or so, scrap it.

When you clean up your closet, there's a big chance that you will come upon clothes and accessories that you didn't even know existed. For every item that you pick, think well on how long ago you last used it. If it has been more than six months already, it just means that you do not want or need it anymore. As you do this, you will be surprised at how big a space you can regain which you can use for things that truly matter to you.

Gather all clothes that you still want to use and decide which you'll hang and which you should fold. Put like colors together for a streamlined display and to make it easier for you to look for a particular item. It will help to make use of clothes' hangers in one color only to achieve a neat, organized over-all look. Place rolled socks and underwear in a drawer to keep them from getting scattered throughout the closet. In place of a built-in drawer, you can use small, stackable plastic drawers or boxes with lids.

There are times when, even after you have purged things that you no longer want to use, you realize that you still do not have sufficient space for all the essentials that you want to keep. In cases like this, Storage Space Singapore rentals are what you just might need. You can always rely on the services of a self storage Singapore firm where you can safely keep items that you do not always wear such as gowns, coats, thick jackets, costumes, boots, luggage, and other specialty stuff. To maximize the unit that you will lease, you may want to include things that you rarely use such as holiday decorations, sports and exercise gear, inflatable pools, or baby items.
