Is Your Closet Space Cluttered With Clothes? Master These Two Skills And Organization Will Be Super Easy

The first step in wardrobe "renovation": space diagnosis and scientific "disconnection"

Whenever many people face a messy wardrobe, their first reaction is to buy more storage boxes. However, as a professional organizer, I can tell you very responsibly that if you store things without filtering them, you will just be wasting money to organize things that have no value. Before taking action, we need to conduct an in-depth diagnosis of the wardrobe space. Empty all your clothes and spread them out on the bed. At this time, please use the " 20/80 principle " to conduct visual evaluation: Don't the clothes you actually wear on a daily basis only account for 20% of them?

Start performing filtering . Many people lack storage space because they are obsessed with the obsession that "maybe they can wear them someday". Only by achieving this step and concentrating and simplifying can the subsequent planning and creation of the spatial layout be meaningful and valuable. This is the prerequisite and basis for the wardrobe to be able to increase its capacity and expand it.

Core expansion technique: upright folding and roll storage method

The selected clothes must be reshaped using professional folding skills. Here we need to correct a misunderstanding: folding clothes is not to stack them, but to make them "stand up". For cotton clothing such as T-shirts and sweatshirts, we use the " pocket folding method " (which is an improved version of upright folding ). Make the clothes into a regular rectangle, and use the openings of the clothes to create "pockets" to wrap the whole thing. In this way, the folded clothes can be arranged vertically in the drawer like books, and they will not disturb the "neighbors" next to them when they are taken out, thus achieving visual storage.

The recommended storage method for wear-resistant bottoms such as jeans and sweatpants is the " roll storage method ". After folding the trousers in half, roll them up tightly from the trousers legs, and use the friction of the fabric itself to secure them. This roll shape not only makes full use of the deep space of the drawer, but also can be placed directly in the suitcase when traveling or on a business trip, so that one item can be used for multiple purposes. The volume of clothing treated in this way can be reduced by at least 30%.

Optimization of partition layout: creating golden circulation lines and vertical storage

After the folding operation is completed, the next step is partitioned storage, which plays an important role in defining usage efficiency. The layout of the wardrobe must conform to your daily movement preferences and habits with prescribed directions and regular movement routes. Remember the concept of " golden area ". The position where the eye level is at waist level is the most convenient " golden area " to hang coats, dresses and shirts that are often worn in the season.

Located on the upper level of the wardrobe, that is, the location that requires tiptoes or raising hands to reach, it belongs to the " storage area ". This area is suitable for placing bedding that changes from season to season, or using non-woven storage boxes purchased at 100-yen stores to store out-of-season clothing. The lower level of the wardrobe, which requires bending to reach, is more suitable for placing the T-shirts and pants we just folded. Here, there is a key technique. Use telescopic partitions or translucent drawer boxes to divide the originally single large space into multiple layers to prevent the lower space from being wasted. It is specially used to store small items such as underwear and socks to achieve refined classification .

Multi-scenario solutions: solutions for small spaces and without wardrobes

This method can also be adapted to different living environments.

For children's room wardrobes, the key is to lower the height and install telescopic rods at the bottom of the wardrobe so that children can hang short clothes on their own, thereby cultivating their self-care ability. At the same time, use the space behind the door to install hooks or hanging bags to store hats, scarves and accessories, thereby making full use of the vertical space.
