Making Your Tiny Closet Perform Like a Walk-In

Small closets seem to abound in newly constructed homes and condominiums, but their constraining size and diminutive interiors need not be a constriction on the organization of the wardrobe within. By employing the correct organization tools and equipment, a small closet can hold a bounteous wardrobe, all the while keeping it easily accessed as well as wrinkle-free. A closet’s performance is only limited by the organization within, and with the right accessories, you will be surprised and impressed with just how much it can hold.

The first thing to do is really take a look in your closet; think about when you last wore each and every garment within. If there is anything within your closet that has not been worn in the last year, definitely give it to charity. In the last six months is debatable, as perhaps anything left hanging on a hanger for that long should most likely leave the premises as well! After this sort of cleansing, you will really get down to the wardrobe you actually wear, and I have no doubt that it will become an amount that is much easier to work with, store, and organize. Now, let’s take a look at the hangers you are using. They are no doubt big and bulky plastic or wood hangers you’ve been given or picked up along the way or perhaps even an assortment of wire cheapies from dry cleaner returns. It’s time to say goodbye to all of them. Seriously. Take all of your hanging clothes off of those hangers and chuck them (the hangers, not the clothes!). Thinner, better constructed hangers need to be purchased that are much better suited to store your precious clothes in a slimmer, more manageable fashion, allowing for better display and ease of accessibility. Local retailers or online specialty stores like onlyslimlinehangers.com, have a large assortment of slimmer hangers that allow for a profile that can better fit the confines of any closet, large and small. A special hanging shoe caddy can get those shoes that are always “underfoot” up, and off your closet floor, allowing for easy choosing on those early mornings where the coffee just hasn’t taken effect yet. A perfect hanger exists for each and every separate, every vest, every tie, and shirt, and must be utilized for the optimum to be reached by your closet.

With a small investment in slimmer, better-constructed and specialized hangers as well as other closet organizational tools, you will be using your closet to its fullest potential in no time, maximizing your storage, and keeping you looking your best.

Straightening Up That Laundry Room Mess

When giving a tour of your home to visitors and friends, the room most probably avoided and excluded from showing is the laundry room. Let’s face it, though arguably one of the most important rooms in the house, the laundry room often gets undue attention. The laundry room is often used for storage of all sorts (if you’re lucky to have one large enough), cleaning products and laundry soap are scattered throughout, clothes in cue for folding are in disarray, and some laundry rooms are home to the cat litter box and many other undesirable necessities. How can a person or their family expect to look their best when the room where their clothes are given their beauty treatments is such a disorganized and unappealing mess?

Now the cat box and other unmentionables are your own business, but let’s get those clothes organized, shall we? First thing needed in your laundry room is a folding table. You are lucky enough to have laundry facilities in your home, don’t treat it less amiably than you would your local Laundromat. A table to fold and stack your clothes on is simply acquired and affordable, just check your local white elephant shop for one that fits your space best. Secondly, a garment rack is in order. You can’t very well stack your outfits that are meant for hanging and expect them to come out looking spic and span, now can you? A simple rod can be suspended fairly easy in the corner, or a nice rolling rack can be purchased at a local retailer or even online from a site such as onlygarmentracks.com. Being able to store your hanging clothes properly while they wait to be worn or simply await transport to your closet would add immeasurably to your ability to look your best. Third, a nice shelving unit would help with organizing your assorted detergents, bleaches, and fabric softener for easy use and storage. No more will your cleaning agents be spread throughout the room, all the time threatening to create a mess or sticky spill on your precious clothes or laundry room floor. A simple sweep and pickup will add the finishing touches. See how easy that was? With a few simple additions, your laundry room can be an organized area you can be prouder (if not exactly “proud”) of, and you’ll find the flow of the chores that find their home within will be easier and quicker than ever!
