How to properly fold things in the closet
The most difficult task in arranging an apartment and maintaining order in it is the competent placement of things in the existing wardrobes. At the same time, it is important to provide convenient access to them and save as much free space as possible.
Wardrobes are great helpers in storing clothes, shoes, linen and other items, but it is not so easy to arrange the necessary wardrobe items in their places.
Organization of storage of things (convenient, compact and beautiful)
The rational organization of storing various things in the closet depends on the accompanying factors. One of them is the correct and convenient lighting system, both inside and outside. Light is the key to quickly finding clothes in a locker. Ceiling lighting alone is sometimes not enough, especially if things are located on deep shelves. You should think about spot or diode illumination of the interior space.
It's important to consider moving things around in your closet throughout the year. Where can you put summer clothes and where to place massive down jackets, jackets and sweaters in the summer. A separate place should be allocated for placing business suits and evening dresses. It is also worth thinking about emergencies, when the necessary things need to be collected in a matter of minutes.
Mezzanines are best used for suitcases and travel bags. Here, seasonal items can be stored in boxes and shelving baskets. To make the cabinet space look beautiful and neat, you can choose boxes according to the size of the shelves or the same size, as well as sets consisting of elements of different sizes.
Every centimeter of cabinet volume should be used to the maximum. Quite often, the space above the rail remains unused. Sometimes another shelf can be placed there. For convenience, a few hooks on the door for light and small accessories will do the trick.
If the shoes are stored in boxes, they can be signed or pasted on each photo - this will greatly facilitate the process of finding the right pair of shoes or boots. The most important point in organizing storage of things is the timely disposal of unnecessary items.
Better to give them to those who need them. After each revision, there will be a place for new clothes. Many consumers make custom wardrobes or wardrobes. This is a great opportunity to design a space and equip it based on the individual needs of the customer.
For example, if the hostess likes to store things on hangers, then there is no need for a large number of shelves. If there are a lot of shoes and handbags, you should consider having enough storage compartments.
On shelves
Wardrobes with a depth of 60-70 cm are simply ideal for placing clothes on hangers, but using deep shelves without a pull-out mechanism is not very convenient.It is quite difficult to organize the order, and finding the right thing quickly is sometimes problematic. Things are laid out in several rows and access to those located at the back wall is difficult.
To reach them, you have to take out the clothes lying in front, and then put them back in place. Therefore, it is best to store bed linen, blankets, bedspreads, bath towels on deep shelves. It is very convenient to place textiles in stacks to the full depth and order on such a shelf will be ensured.
Such shelves are good for thick sweaters or warm jackets, as well as jeans. The listed things can be rolled up with a roller, so they will be visible and less wrinkled. If the closet is not very large, then larger things can be laid out at the back wall, and it is better to store T-shirts, T-shirts, knee-highs, shorts in front.
For the convenience of using deep shelves, they came up with vertical shelf dividers, they allow you to form separate neat stacks of clothes. Most often they are made of plastic or polycarbonate in the form of mesh structures.
They can also be horizontal, in the form of a small shelf-stand on low legs, which allows you to raise the second level of things. Such gadgets make it faster and easier to find things, since you have to deal with one pile, and not with the contents of the entire shelf.
Organizers perfectly organize small items. They are indispensable for socks, tights or underwear. Modern models can be with a soft or rigid frame, open and with a lid, as well as with stationary or mobile dividers.
It is possible to order organizers according to the dimensions of the shelves. They are very convenient for storing not only things, but also shoes. Soft shoe cases with removable partitions allow you to compactly place up to 5-6 pairs.
On hangers
For things, it is better to choose the same hangers or at least in the same style, and then the wardrobe will look more organized and beautiful. The most ideal and relatively inexpensive hangers in vinyl are considered. They are quite thin, but do not stretch clothes. A lot of them can be placed in the closet, and a special coating does not allow clothes to slip and deform, even in very delicate and thin blouses.
There is one rule for all hangers - they must strictly correspond to the size of the clothes. Otherwise, bubbles or ears will appear on the sleeves from too large ones, and from small ones - the same defects, only they will be visible in the shoulder area of the products.
It is better to hang trousers and skirts on hangers with pins (clothespins) - this is just ideal. It is not recommended to store thin knitted items, sweaters, cardigans on hangers. They will deform under their own weight.
Hooks
For hooks, the side walls and the inside of the door are usually used, but even the space under the shelves can be used. It is very convenient to hang scarves, clutches, belts or jewelry on them.
How to rationally arrange things in the closet
It seems that this is quite simple, but often incorrect storage of things in the closet causes a lack of space, even in a large space.
In order not to overload him and arrange clothes in perfect order, you should know a few simple but very effective secrets:
- The most popular items should be at eye level, and those that are less frequently worn can be stored on the shelves located in the lower tiers.
- Place seasonal clothing correctly on the highest levels or mezzanines. Storage boxes or wicker baskets come in handy for neat packaging. A list of things stored in it can be attached to each box.
- To quickly find the items you want, you can sort them:
- by colors;
- by type of material;
- top-bottom: T-shirts, linen and sweaters are on the top shelves, and on the bottom are pants, skirts and dresses hung on a bar.
- Shoes and bags should have their place. Shoes and boots are best positioned at the bottom. For high boots, you can equip a small bar and hangers with clothespins - so they will not lose their shape. It is preferable to keep the bags in special covers, the upper shelves are suitable for them.
- Everything that folds into the drawers of the chest of drawers should be placed vertically.
- If space permits, it is better to store most of the clothes on a hanger.
- If there is very little space in the closet, then vacuum bags will come to the rescue for seasonal wardrobe items. This is an incredibly convenient way to organize a lot of things in a compact way.
Storage boxes in the closet
For underwear and storage of various small items, you can equip several drawers in the closet. It is a good idea to have three of these available for each family member. They are very convenient because things do not gather dust and are hidden from prying eyes.
Pull-out sections can also be used. They look like drawers, divided into 15x15 cm elements. Belts, ties, watches, jewelry and other small items are perfectly placed in such cells.
Features of vertical storage
Don't forget about vertical space. For example, narrow shelving up to the ceiling will not take up much space, but on the contrary, will provide additional storage space.
Hanging baskets are structures that maximize the use of the vertical part of the cabinet. These elements are easy to assemble and form retractable mesh modules. Vertical shoe cover with nine shelves, made of dense fabric and having a rigid frame, fits perfectly into the space.
The shelves can be mounted in any order. This design looks very stylish and elegant, it can be installed without a cabinet. Hanging fabric modules are convenient for scarves, hats, gloves and even small handbags and summer shoes.
Using transparent plastic cases, it is easy and quick to find the right pair of shoes. By the way, you can store any other things in them. Such cases are installed on top, on top of each other.
The main purpose of organizing a wardrobe is to fold things so that they can be seen. Maintaining an ideal state takes time and effort, but the result is immediately noticeable.
