Manila Interior Designer: 3 Tips to Organize Your Closet
Did
you know that your closet is more than just a storage unit? Similar to your
home and your bedroom, your closet is essentially an extension of who you are,
reflecting your personality and style. Knowing this, why not dress up your
dresser? You’d be surprised how decluttering and giving careful thought on
organization can instantly maximize your storage space and make it look and
feel uniquely you.
Want
to start designing your dream closet? You never have to choose between
functionality or form with these organizing tips from sought-after interior designer Rock Robins.
1. The
importance of decluttering cannot be stressed enough. When you begin to
decorate a room, you start with a blank slate. The same thing goes for your
closet. You have to empty it out. Before rearranging your clothes and accessories,
it’s essential that you first see the entire space you’ll be working on.
The next step is to sort out your wardrobe. It helps to divide your clothes
into four piles: keep, fix, donate and toss. It’s also a good idea to ask
yourself how frequently you use each item. Clothes you wear regularly are
definitely for keeps. The ones you haven’t worn for several months, however, ought
to be given or donated.
2. Once you’ve
made up your mind about the items you want to keep, the next thing you need to
do is decide where you want to store them. Regardless if you have a walk-in
closet or a free-standing one, if you’re not mindful of how you store your
clothes and accessories, your closet will always look and feel cluttered.
The most effective way to avoid this is to consider how much space your items
will take up. From there you have to decide which of these pieces you need easy
access to at all times. Clothes you wear regularly should be hung, while those
that are worn seasonally, such as winter jackets and beach attires, can be
stored in separate boxes or plastic bins. For folded items, it’s helpful to
stack them according to type.
3. A good rule
when buying new items is this: Put one in, take one out. This ensures that you
will have enough space to store these bought articles. This is also a nice
exercise to discipline yourself to stop hoarding clothes and maximize using the
ones that you have. If you can, you may even want to take inventory of your
items, so you know if there are things you need to buy or not.
Once
you’ve organized your closet to your liking, it’s best to take at least 30
minutes every week to clean and reorganize your closet to ensure that what
you’re storing are only those that are essential. When all else fails, you may
want to get help from a professional. An interior designer will not only help you sort out your wardrobe, but can also make
necessary adjustments to maximize your closet space and design it in a way that
suits your taste.
