Have you ever been to a clothing store and thought, “I wish my closet looked so clean and organised”?

What if I told you that your closet actually can look like that? Keep reading to find out how to organise your closet and maximise your space in a stylish way!

Hang your clothes

Closet rods are valuable real estate, so make sure you utilize them to their full potential. So, when it comes to hanging clothes, which items should you prioritise? Dresses, skirts, coats, suits, and work clothes are the answers. You’ve probably spent a lot of time and effort ironing these items to make sure they’re wrinkle-free, and hanging them up keeps all that effort from going to waste.

But, if you hang your things, how can you conserve storage space? Consider getting double-decker closet rods to increase the amount of space available for hanging clothes.

Maximise the storage space under the hanging rods
There is a slight gap between the bottom of the hanging clothes and the floor in many closets. While you don’t want to overcrowd this area, you could make the most of it by storing small items here, such as shoes or handbags.

Fold your clothes

Knowing how to fold shirts for storage is a valuable life skill that everyone should possess. Since most individuals aren’t born with exceptional folding skills, you’ll probably want to start with a folding board to teach you how to fold your clothes properly. After you’ve mastered the art of folding, start looking into Japanese folding techniques. Be sure to familiarise yourself with the many methods to fold different garments during your research.

Apart from shirts, there are other methods for folding pants, socks, underwear, and any other clothing you may think of. While identifying and understanding these techniques may take some effort, it will be well worth it in the long run due to the amount of storage space you will save.

Roll your clothes

Consider rolling your garments if you really want to go the extra mile and save as much room as possible. This is a typical travelling approach for maximising suitcase space, but it will also work in your closet and dresser.
