How to understand the wardrobe once and for all
Tips / / December 19, 2019
Before you empty the closet and proceed directly to an examination of the things you need to cook trash bags (for things on the release) and boxes (for things that you can give away or sell), and lay for cleaning a couple of hours.
Parsing and sorting
Step one - get out of the closet is absolutely all things. So it will be the easiest way to determine which ones are necessary and which - no. Fingered garments one by one, putting them in different directions depending on their decision: keep, give away or sell, throw away.
When another dress or shirt in doubt, ask yourself the subsidiary questions.
- "I Wore (a) I have this last year?" If the thing resting in the closet, then most likely, it can continue to lie there for months or even a year without work. Better make room, rather than stored in the wardrobe of things that are not needed.
- "I bought (well) I had this thing now?" Imagine that in the last journey of your luggage with a good half of the wardrobe lost and now you need to make it again. Bought to you that in your hands, to replace the lost? If the answer is - an unambiguous "yes", it means that the thing should be left.
- "Do I need it replaced?" Evaluate the condition of the thing you have to take. If it spots, pellets, hooks and other signs of worn, it is better to replace it with a new and fresh.
When the sorting is finished, go first those things that it was decided not to leave. To submit to the "trash" pile unfit for use. Things are also wearable, but have lost your liking, you can give away. Or sell - not to be wasted. And what has to go back into the closet, lay on piles: top, pants, skirts, UnderwearSocks. This will help to match the amount of available capacity with the clothing closet.
seasonal migration
Despite careful analysis and sorting, things may remain indecently much. Wardrobe will be packed to capacity when they come back on the shelves. Way out there. Remove from the wardrobe is not suitable for seasonal clothing. Rubber boots - in a wardrobe in the hall. Down jackets and warm sweater in the pack vacuum bags (So as not to take up much space) and hide in a box under the bed.
organization of space
Even the most modest in size wardrobe if you want you can expand and deepen.
- Apply the door and wall. Suspended organizers with sections and pockets can be fastened on the door inside the enclosure. Another option - add some hooks to leave to them the things that should be on hand. They are the same, so as not to get lost, you can hang scarves, shawls, belts, and other trifles.
- Use the "matryoshka principle". Suitcases and bags are stored in a wardrobe, help save the place: inside you can put some of the things (for example, the same seasonal clothing) from the shelves.
- Add a second post. The tall cabinets often there is a lot of free space above or below the rod for hangers. Use it: the second beam allow to hang even more things. Shelf space available.
- Buy special hangers. And can be one usually hang two or three shirts at once. And you can find ultra-thin hangers that easily fit on the bar of any length. Another option - stacked racks with covers that are willing to take on their shoulders from several suits.
Selection criteria
The order in the closet is required in order that in it was always easy to find the right thing. Not necessary to arrange a landfill, haphazardly throwing clothes inside. Let wardrobe will functional. Therefore, before returning to the things which are not destined to be thrown out or given away, decide on what basis they will be laid.
- in style. Let the different stacks are work clothes, things for walks on weekends, for parties, for a summer vacation for the winter cold.
- by type. Sort things can be different: all T-shirts - together as well with jeans, skirts, dresses, blouses, sweaters and other garments.
- in color. Color sorting, too, has its advantages. When there is a stack with green, blue, white, red things, they become easier to combine with each other.
There is one piece of advice - to divide the space in the wardrobe for a few areas. The first should be the most accessible, within outstretched arms forward. To put the most running things that wear most often. In the second zone let go less than needed in everyday life wardrobe items: for example, elegant dresses and blouses. The third zone - with clothes for business meetings: the strict shirts, trousers, jackets. But the fourth zone - the farthest - can be filled with things, the need for which there is very very rare.
Whichever of the recommendations you choose, there is no doubt in this order of time to get ready in the morning will leave much less.
Saving the result
It is one thing - to restore order, quite another - to support him. It may even be more difficult. If you follow a couple of useful tips, the next cleaning is not needed for a long time.
- Keep in the cloakroom empty bag to put in his clothing, which ceases to like or, for example, becomes obsolete. Then you do not have to waste time trying to find things in the total mass.
- Hangers should not "stick together." In such a situation, some hung things just will not be seen. Separate the hangers from each other in the indented one centimeter.
- Speaking of hangers. Let in the closet, they are always in the same amount. You can not add new ones: then you will know that accidentally bought and often very necessary thing you simply have nowhere to hang.
This universal instruction can use again when the wardrobe again require general cleaning. But it is better to try to save it in order after the first such analysis - for your own convenience.
