Use Shelf Dividers
Making open shelf storage far more capacious is possible if you add vertical dividers. This way, you can utilize all the space and increase the cabinet’s capacity. And to make it easier to find necessary items next summer and sort out where everything lies, you could immediately categorize the clothes.
Flip Stacks
A convenient and simple way to store items more compactly, especially if you do not plan to take them out daily, is to make dense “flipped” stacks. This way, a standard dresser drawer or wardrobe can fit much more. It’s convenient to sort clothes by colors or categories, placing T-shirts, shorts, etc., separately. This storage can also be complemented with organizers, each assigned to a different type of clothing, or distributed among family members if everyone uses the same wardrobe.
Add a Cap Hanger
This storage method is ideal for organizing caps even in the smallest wardrobe. Due to their bulky shape, it’s hard to compactly fold them on a regular shelf or in a drawer. Here, a hanging organizer with holders for headgear can help. You can hang it on a rod in the wardrobe or any hook.
Hang a Basket on the Rod
In a small hanging basket, you can store several items of clothing that do not require hanging storage. These can be tops, T-shirts, shorts made of non-creasing fabric, as well as children’s items. Moreover, there will be more free space under the basket than under clothes hanging on hangers. There you can place containers or boxes with shoes. However, this option is not suitable for those who primarily concentrate their storage on the rod.
Roll Clothes
A quick way to fold clothes compactly while avoiding folds and severe creasing is to roll them up. This way, you can store items anywhere: on open shelves, in a suitcase or organizer, in a box, or under the bed. This uses space efficiently, and your clothes will still look decent even after several months.
Fold Pants Several Times
To distribute jeans and summer trousers more compactly on rods, you can fold them several times. This method is suitable for fabrics that do not crease significantly, but it’s better not to store business trousers with creases this way. By folding trousers on hangers, you free up space under the rod where you can place organizers with other items, bags, or suitcases.
Utilize the Space Under the Rod
Whether it’s a rail or a closed wardrobe, there is always free space under the rod. Most often, people leave it empty or put bags there, but you can also set up storage for seasonal items at the bottom. For example, place a shelving unit with pull-out sections, trunks, or baskets for clothes, shoe organizers under the hanger.
Store Shoes in a Hanging Organizer
You can not only hang clothes on hangers on the rod but also place many pairs of compact shoes. The easiest way to do this is with a hanging organizer with pockets for each pair. This way, you
arrange all your off-season shoes compactly and conveniently in the wardrobe. They will not get dusty and will remain as good as in a box, taking up even less space.
