Maximum closet space: top tips for fashionistas

BBeing a fashionista means knowing which cuts and colors suit you best, which fabrics work well together, how to mix and match clothes, and much more. If you are a true fashionista and not just a trend follower, you know how much effort it takes to dress. And you can’t disagree that having an organized wardrobe helps you get dressed faster and better!

If your wardrobe is a mess and it takes hours to find a particular skirt or scarf to match, you need to realize that it’s time to get your closet in order. Like many others, your main hurdle could be having less space instead of a lot of stuff. But don’t let this stop you from getting started with the chore! It’s not that hard to make the most of the storage space you have.
Here are some ideas you can use to maximize your closet space and organize your stuff.

Get rid of clutter

You probably don’t have enough space because you have too many things that you don’t use and will never use. To make room, start by removing any items you haven’t worn or used in the past year.

Donate or sell clothes that don’t fit. If you’re trying to lose weight, reward yourself with new ones when you reach your goal rather than clinging to clothes that take up precious closet space. Also, throw away items that are very similar when wearing; you can use the space to store something else.

Store clothes out of season

If you have a separate wardrobe for each season, store out-of-season items so you have enough space to store seasonal items. Out of season clothes can be stored in a covered clothes rack or you can put them in storage boxes and store them under your bed.

Be sure to wash/clean seasonal clothes before putting them away. Also store them properly to keep them in good condition – so you have ready-to-wear clothes for the next season!

Scale up the wall

Well not literally, but if your wardrobe has high drawers, use the storage space! Don’t ignore the extra space just because you’re being challenged vertically.

Grab a step or escalator and use it to reach up and stash your stuff. Using a stool or ladder also makes it easier to see things you have stored there and get what you want out of it.

Add shelves

If your closet has a high ceiling, add shelves to create extra space. You can also add shelves to the sides of the cabinet if needed. If you are installing wire racks, you can also add drawers and baskets using hanging drawer glides or guide frames.

Install an upside-down shelf for excellent shoe storage!

By using shelf dividers, you prevent piles of clothes from falling over. You can also take off clothes without disturbing other piles, so you don’t have to worry about ruining everything if you’re in a hurry to get dressed!

Clear plastic dividers can be used in drawers, while wire shelf dividers can be used on shelves. You also have the option of using cubbies to keep your clothes, handbags, and shoes organized.

Use pendants

Hangers are a must-they prevent your clothes from wrinkling and also help maintain the shape of a garment. In addition, they ensure that your closet looks uncluttered!

However, you will only get these benefits if you invest in quality hangers. If your closet is full of hangers that have come in from the dry cleaners, your clothes are bound to be misshapen over time, and if you’ve accumulated a variety of hangers over the years, your closet will look shabby.

Consider the type of clothes you have and invest in good hangers that will fit your clothes. For example, you’ll need sturdy wooden hangers like the ones available on OnlyHangers for your coats and blazers, padded hangers for delicate lingerie, and multi-trousers hangers if you want to hang your pants in limited space.

Special shoe hangers can be used to hang boots; they keep the closet floor from getting dirty and also help maintain the shape of your boots. If your shoes are taking up too much space in your closet, consider alternatives. Consider storing your shoes in shoe boxes. You can slide shoe boxes under your bed and easily pull them out when needed. Label the boxes so you know what’s in them or use clear plastic boxes.

Install the right hardware

The back of the cabinet door can be fitted with hardware such as rails or hooks to create additional storage space. Ties, scarves, belts and more can be easily hung on hooks or rails and are also a feast for the eyes.
Hooks are also great for hanging jewelry. You can also invest in jewelry organizers that come in different varieties – trays, canvas plates, racks, etc. to store and display your accessories.

Conclusion

As a fashionista, you can’t undermine the importance of an organized wardrobe. Not only will you save precious time, but you’ll never have to wonder where all your favorite items go!

The pile of clothes and shoes may overwhelm you and distract you from the task, but realize you have to get this done! With the tips given here, you now know there’s a lot you can do to maximize your closet space.

So get going and enjoy the benefits of being an organized fashionista!
