It’s that time of year
again—time to make the big switcheroo in your clothes closet. So pull your
winter clothes out of storage and get ready to cut down on closet clutter by
getting creative! Here’s a handful of clever-closet concepts:
1. Keep your shirts from sliding off hangers by wrapping
rubber bands around each end of the hanger. The rubber gives the shirt
something to grip on to, so it’ll stay put.
2. Cut a heavy-duty cardboard tube (from a roll of
aluminum foil, wax paper, or plastic wrap) lengthwise, and pop it over the
bottom of a wire hanger. Then fold your trousers over the tube to keep them
fresh and crease-free.
3. If you’re short on space in your closet, use this neat
trick to make room: Purchase a piece of plastic chain from a hardware store.
Hang it up by one end from a hanger in your closet, then hang another hanger
from each chain link, all the way down the chain. The vertical storage
conserves space and keeps your clothes flat and wrinkle-free.
4. One of the simplest ways to increase the space in your
closet is to clear out any garments that you seldom wear (formal clothes, for
instance). Either move them to a spare closet, or tuck them into appropriate
containers and stash them under your bed, in the attic, in a dry basement, or
anyplace else you have room for them.
5. Do you always wear a certain jacket and shirt with the
same pants or skirt? If so, then combine all three garments on one sturdy
hanger.
Happy organizing!
