At the end of March and the beginning of April, it is time to prepare for the transition to summer, when we no longer need to keep warm with thick coats or sweaters, gloves,…
Storing and organizing these items can be challenging as they take up a considerable amount of space in the closet.
Here are some tips to help you store your winter items properly:
Clean out your coat and accessory closet
Coats are the most frequently used items in winter. These thick coats are lined with fur or cotton to keep the body warm in cold weather. Most of us have at least 2-3 coats, and organizing them together with other family members in the same closet can be challenging.
You should start by grouping all the coats of the same type together and categorize them, such as puffer coats, wool coats, windbreakers,…
Do the same categorization for pants, long-sleeved shirts of different thicknesses. Also, pay attention to decluttering items that are no longer usable, old, or too small to give them to people in need. This not only shows love towards others but also helps free up a significant storage space.
Afterward, remember to clean the closet by dusting and wiping it down before putting the items back inside.
Allocate storage areas
Clearly dividing storage areas based on their purpose is the best way to keep your closet organized and make it easy to find things when needed.
Arranging the items
Since the main function at this time is to store and preserve coats, you should arrange and categorize them accordingly. For example, thicker coats should be grouped together. Then gloves, sweaters, scarves, hats,… should also be kept together.
For smaller items like socks, gloves,… you can gather them in a box and label it for easier identification and stack them to save space.
Organizing shoes and boots
It is best to store only shoes or boots with fur or lining in the closet as they are too hot to be used in summer. Before storing them, make sure to clean and let them dry completely in the sun, then put them in separate bags to prevent mold development.
As for sneakers, flat shoes, ballet flats,… you can simply keep them in a regular shoe cabinet as they can still be used in summer.
