Folding
Folding clothes is an easy way to maximize space in drawers and closets. It also prevents wrinkled clothing, which saves you time and money on ironing.
If you’re looking to tidy up your dresser drawers or wardrobe, try the vertical clothes folding method popularized by Japanese organizing consultant Marie Kondo. This technique allows you to store clothes and linens in a more efficient manner and gain up to 50% more drawer space.
Hanging
Hanging clothes is one of the most efficient ways to store clothing. Unlike folded items, hung clothing is easy to find and can be quickly paired with other pieces.
A key to storing clothes effectively is choosing the right hanger for each garment. Choose sturdy wood or plastic hangers that won’t distort the fabric, and avoid wire hangers.
Boxes
Once you have sorted your clothes into the ones you want to sell or donate and the ones you are keeping, it is time to put them away. But before you do that it is important to make sure they are stored effectively so that when you do want them again they won’t be damaged.
This means you need to choose a good place for them to be stored and pack them in an environment that is safe, cool and dry. You don’t want them storing in a hot attic or damp basement as that will soak up the humidity and stain your clothing.
