Easy storage changing tips

• To begin – take EVERY SINGLE THING out of your closet.
• Have at least 2 large boxes handy – one for items to donate, and one for items to throw out. The items you are unsure about, can go in the KEEP pile on your bed.
• For all your box needs, new boxes or second hand boxes – see our online range, or come into our box shop.
• When choosing clothes to keep, ask yourself a few vital questions to immediately weed out the weak items (If you answer No to any of these, you will likely not wear the items again!):
• Does it still fit?
• Is it damaged?
• Have I worn it in the last 12 months?
• If I saw it in a store now, would I buy it?
• Do I like the way it looks on me?
• Hang as many items in your closet as you can (neatly). If you can see it, you are more likely to wear it.
• Please DO NOT OVER-STUFF YOUR CLOSET. This is what started the mess!
• Face all your hangers away from you when you hang them. Yes, this makes it more difficult to remove from the rail, I know! After wearing an item, return the hanger to face you (the easy way to remove from the railing). In a few months, you will be able to tell which clothes you thought you were going to wear, but didn’t. Now you can declutter even more.
• If you have lots of clothes to hang, invest in slim hangers to make it easier not to over-stuff your closet (again!).
• Using garment organisers that clip onto your closet rail, can also be a great help to separate your work clothes, sportswear, coats, etc. Make sure you return the items to the correct spot though.
• Do not hang heavy sweaters/ loose knit items on hangers – They may lose their shape. Rather fold these.
• Organise your folded clothes in a way that makes sense to you. Keep it honest to ensure you will actually wear the items you put in these piles.
• Using drawer dividers and shelf dividers can help you access clothing much easier. They do not need to be expensive, just functional.
• Use closet floor space creatively – shoe racks makes your shoes last longer and make them easier to find.
• Or have your shoes in boxes with a label system that works for you.
• Utilise closet door space by hanging over the door shoe bags on them. You do not necessarily have to keep shoes in them, it’s a great place for scarves, socks, etc. too!
