Perhaps, in the life of everyone, a situation arose when it was time to leave the house, but there was nothing to put on. While a full closet of clothes. Instead of spending a few minutes choosing a kit, you have to spend a good half hour and a lot of nerves. It is dented, there is a hole, and where did your favorite cardigan go? If you often encounter such cases, then it's time to clean up your chiffonier.
Disassemble the wardrobe
Interestingly, the more household items, the less they are actually used. Unnecessary rags steal a place from the right ones, and we just forget about them. The first thing to do is to understand what you have, in what quantity and condition. Next, we do a general sweep. We take out the entire contents of the cabinet, and lay it out in plain sight.
Get rid of trash
Let's divide everything into three categories: throw it away, give it away, sell it. You can safely throw:
- Unsightly rags: faded, with spools that cannot be repaired.
- What you do not like, and already quite worn.
- What has long gone out of fashion.
Things you can give away:
- In good condition, but not used.
- That you have become small or great.
- Single things for which there is no pair matching with these clothes.
Advice! If you like a lonely blouse or skirt, make a note to know what to buy on your next trip to the store. So you save money on a new kit, and your favorite little thing will find its pair.
Items that can be sold:
- Dear branded models that are not worn.
- An evening dress once worn at a friend’s wedding. The same can be attributed to the expensive costume of her husband, which he is unlikely to wear again.
Advice! If you are in doubt in which category this or that utensil belongs, and whether it is worth parting with it, put it in a separate package and put it away. If during the year you have never remembered her - you do not need her!
Should not be in the chiffonier:
- Unloved and unused things.
- That sits badly on the figure.
- A product that does not combine with other wardrobe items.
- Which does not match your style.
How to sort things correctly
Having got rid of excess, you can begin to organize your favorite and necessary clothes. Here, various devices and organizers-hangers, holders for bags, belts and accessories will help us.
How to use hangers wisely
The most valuable thing for us is free space, so we will choose what would meet the needs of functionality and save space:
- Wooden hangers. Their advantages are that they hold overall clothing well: jackets, coats, and fur coats. But for small items take up too much space.
- Plastic hangers. Ideal for delicate fabrics. They are very functional and do not take up much space. For silk sliding fabrics, there are silicone pads.
- Wire hangers. Perhaps this is the most unfortunate version of the coat hanger. Their huge disadvantage is the ability to terribly pull clothes because of its subtlety. They are suitable, except that, bring a new thing from the store to the house.
There are many other models. For example, trouser racks with clothespins or several rungs. They are quite functional, and organize the space in the closet well.
Also coat hanger with fabric or leather coating. But this luxury is completely impractical, unless you have a full dressing room instead of a wardrobe.
The shoulders must be in size, otherwise the “ears” will appear on things - on the sleeves if the hanger is large, or on the shoulders when it is too small.
Knitwear and knitted woolen products are easily deformed, therefore they cannot be stored in a suspended state.
What to put in boxes
Having arranged everything on hangers, we will begin to restore order on the shelves and drawers. The main rule when choosing clothes - all of them should be in sight. You can fold the laundry in neat piles, or use the Japanese vertical folding method. It is very convenient for storing socks, stockings, tights and underwear.
We hang bags on internal hooks or place them in special hanging organizers.
Belts, ties and scarves can be placed in boxes with cells, as well as hung on hooks or special holders. The same goes for jewelry.
Now it’s not scary to open the wardrobe again, fearing that the contents will fall out. We did a good job, it remains only to maintain order, which is easy to do when everything is properly organized. And remember that you do not need to accumulate junk that disguises itself as necessary things.
