We put the perfect order in the closet with clothes

Today it took 20 minutes to find the skirt, yesterday the tights were found only on the third attempt, and the spring boots that were so needed on the first day of spring turned out to be indecently worn out heels. This means that it's time to ask yourself the question: how to put things in the closet and finally put it in order? To do this, it will be necessary to sort things out, approve candidates “for departure”, wash dirty clothes, repair malfunctions and put everything compactly on shelves, drawers and hangers. So, let's begin.

Sorting

Before you start parsing clothes, they must be pulled out of the closet and put on a large pile on the floor. The floor, of course, must first be washed. You can also cover it with an old clean sheet. Now you should sort the clothes, dividing it into several groups.

1. Children - Adult. The first step is to separate the children's clothing from the adult and put it in two piles. Next, for each of the heaps, you need to apply the selection principles described below.
2. It is necessary - it is not necessary. Pick up another item of clothing and answer the question: is it needed or not. Is a thing constantly wearable or has long been idle because it has become small (large), has gone out of fashion, etc. Everything that is actively worn needs to be put in one pile, something that only takes up space in the closet - in another .
3. Season is not season. If this item does not correspond to the season of socks, it must be sent for storage, after evaluating its cleanliness and possible damage that must be repaired (sew up, change the zipper, sew on the button, etc.). Non-seasonal items are usually stored on distant shelves, racks or in mezzanines, waiting in line. Thus, they will not interfere with the search for a specific thing that is needed at a given time of the year.
4. Clean - Dirty. Audit cleanliness in each pile. Dirty things are sent to the laundry basket, while the clean ones will be sorted further.
5. Small - large. Organize storage of things follows regarding their size. Namely: small things, such as socks, leggings, tights, underpants, stockings, T-shirts, belts, are conveniently stored in a chest of drawers, and not on a shelf in a closet.
6. Fold - Hang. Some items of clothing are easily wrinkled, and for this reason they should be placed on a hanger in a closet, and not on shelves. This type of thing includes jackets, trousers, skirts, dresses, shirts and others. And on the shelves they will feel comfortable jeans, cotton T-shirts and sweatshirts, sweatshirts and knitted pullovers, etc.

Each thing has its place

In order to properly organize the clothes storage system, you need to think about a specific place that is suitable for a particular thing.

Typically, an apartment has 4 types of cabinets:

• wardrobe for outerwear;
• wardrobe;
• chest of drawers;
• compartment with shelves for storing non-creasing everyday clothes.

Each of them has to put things in order.

Tip

Clean up without fanaticism. Every item should be where it can be easily found. Ideally logical for the hostess, the arrangement of things can be inconvenient for other family members. As a result, the clothes will not fall into the designated places, which again will lead to disorder.

It is proper to store winter and demi-season clothes, hats, scarves, gloves and shoes in the closet for outerwear, if it has such a compartment. That order reigned in it, it is necessary that each thing was clean, repaired and hung on its hanger. If a jacket, coat or fur coat was handed over for dry cleaning, the product should be removed from the plastic bag, in which it is usually returned.If you need to cover outer clothing during storage, you should use an old white pillowcase or cotton bag - for example, these are sold for fur coats. Do not forget about the remedy for moths, which must be placed in the closet, depending on its area (the exact information is indicated on the package).

The order in the wardrobe begins with the selection of convenient hangers in the required quantity. If there is a lot of clothes and the place in it is worth its weight in gold, you need to think about using storage systems. One of the most well-known and affordable systems consists of a bar that is attached on hooks to the bar. It has holes for hangers, allowing you to place them in a row of up to five pieces. The system can be organized horizontally or vertically. The vertical arrangement allows compactly placing 5 hangers in a cascade on top of each other in a place where only one hanger would fit without using the system. However, there is a folk savvy that also suggests storing clothes in a cascade, but using keys from aluminum cans.

A chest of drawers is a very convenient piece of furniture that allows you to store “small” items of clothing, such as socks, tights, underwear. Using a chest of drawers allows you to maintain order in other cabinets without “polluting” them with small things. Typically, chest drawers are wide. In order to bring order to them, you can use separators for documents or low cardboard boxes. Thus, on an extensive shelf, cells will be created in which it will be convenient to lay out things, and they will not be mixed up among themselves. If the hostess and her household like aromatic underwear, you can put a sachet in the drawer of the chest of drawers or use a folk trick - put a piece of pleasantly smelling soap in things.

In wardrobes or in the walls there is a separate section for storing everyday clothes. It should be folded jeans, shirts, turtlenecks, sweaters - in general, what they wear every day (depending on the time of year). You can sort things by type (jeans to jeans, t-shirts to t-shirts), by color or sets for socks. Such their arrangement will create order in the closet and facilitate the search for the desired wardrobe item.

If the wardrobe item is in the category of unnecessary, a temporary place should be sought for it. Do not clutter up the apartment with things that can be worn "at the cottage, on a community work day, on potatoes, or when you lose weight." It’s better to honestly admit to yourself: such a time will never come, and an abundance of unused things will disturb the order in the house. Although losing weight is quite possible, only the fashion is now so changeable that it is very reckless to put things on a shelf and wait for the finest hour to arrive. Today there are a huge number of Internet sites for advertising on the sale of clothing. You can also give it away for free or for a penny in the relevant online communities to those who really need it here and now.

In conclusion, we note that putting things in order in the closet is a long and painstaking task. The procedure may take a day or two, but it's worth it. Things brought to order will not only help you save time when searching for them, but will also improve your well-being and mood. And this is not surprising: order always evokes only positive emotions and attracts luck to life.
