We are now on the threshold of the summer, a season in which we can enjoy sunlight, the beach, cool short sleeves, beautiful dresses…just can’t wait to think about the fun we can have in this season.
However, before you think up an enjoyable plan to step outside, you will find heaps of unseasonal clothes unable to find a home for stowing them away.
The amount will be amazingly more than all of the joy you can think about of this season. I really don’t want to be a spoilsport here, however, it is an inevitable truth we have to directly meet and cope with.
Then let’s do something to hide them away from your sight while keeping all grab-and-goes within your reach. These items will do great help.
Let storage start from the entryway
The entryway is not only the first impression at your home, it can also be the outpost for you to start your storage solution. In addition to the various shoe benches and shoe racks in our previous post, the coat rack could also be considered in your plan.
Since we aim at the clothes storage this time, we will focus on the clothes rather than the dual storage solution for both shoes and clothes. Let’s hang the clothes on the wall to add some ornaments to that tedious blank canvas you will meet each time go out and back.
This wall mounted coat rack may not shout “fancy,” but it’s definitely the extreme embodiment of functionality. The dark brown color helps it easily fit in your wall paint or wallpaper.
Each hook on the shelf backboard is a trinity that enables 3 hang-able clothes to find their independent places to hang without taking triple size of space for them. The hang-able max pieces would be 48.
You always need an exclusive space for the majority of your clothes
Since coats and garments in spring, autumn, and winter will be larger in size and heavier comparing with those in summer, you need to find a spacious and sealable place for them.
That’s why we created a wardrobe for our homes. Even though we can imagine more auxiliary storage solutions, the wardrobe will always play the key role to shelter our out-of-season clothes.
How about having this 10-shelf wardrobe to create a retreat for your clothes? Since the framework is constructed of solid steel tubes, it can be easily assembled, detached, and adjusted.
That means you can create a co-living space for your clothes in all seasons. A few sections and compartments would be good enough for foldable clothes. And consider removing some of the separating tubes and boards for your coats and dresses.
Storage boxes or underwear organizers would also be ideal in the compartment. If you have ever suffered from finding only one sock for several pairs and having no idea about where they hide, then you know adding some organizers would do great help.
Insert some industrial flair into your clothes storage
If you have plenty of style ideas for coats just as what you do for your summer clothes, then finding sufficient space for your coat will be a trouble even if you already have a wardrobe.
Consider hanging them somewhere else. If you would like to let them be there until next autumn or winter, you can have a cover on them to keep them away from dust.
Or, you can also have your dress hang on it. Half of the length of the rack can be used for long term storage and another half for frequent changing usage.
A structure of the rack is always simple, however, we can add some surprises in the details. Floating on the four flexible casters, there is a combination in captivating form that includes a wood grain board connected with a matte black hanging rod.
The height adjuster is designed into a valve form as a salute to the holistic industrial style. You will find the fun of spinning the valve to adjust the height. Make the most of the lower board space with some storage boxes and containers based on your personal need.
I have hooks in my closet for my jogging clothes which I can easily grab first thing in the morning. My storage areas are neat and organized. I have cabinets in the garage for overflow items. I have a few bench seats throughout the house that open up providing more storage.
Sounds good
I have belongings everywhere….especially in my garage. To become more organized, I plan to purchase more storage bins for hair items and odds and end items. I also intend on purchasing an otter an to put organize my clothes.
I use lots of totes for my organization
Then I’m curious about where do you find places for your lots of totes?
An idea. How about a 2drawer,1shelf unit with a swing arm shelf on top with lagging or padding. The use would be for medicine,supplies for a sick room. The swing arm shelf on top would be for a nebulizer pump or similar device,the lagging/ padding is for noise,and vibration reduction.?
Under the bed storage
Storage is always awesome for my family over eight but where do we fit all these totes?
I’m pretty basic. Anything I don’t use often, goes in a box in my closet
Building wall shelves helps with nic nacs
There are kits that let you put drawers in your stair risers. Personally, I like built-in bookshelves around doorways.
We raised our beds and use plastic storage containers under our beds
I use the little plastic baskets in closets to keep things organized
I have small closet and need a free standing closet that looks good.
I got a clothing rack and over the door row of hooks to help her organize clothes.
i use shoe bags and Hooks over all the doors to get more space.
I keep things stored in storage bins and have them all labeled.
I love and will use all the idea’s in the comment section for help in my own life, thanks for the ideas and the nice give aways.
I love compression bags for storage
I store most of my stuff in crates and shelves 🙂
i put plastic bins under my bed, and raise the bed on stilts
We use under the bed storage boxes, organized by season. Before putting away that seasons clothes, sort and donate to keep from storing things you aren’t going to wear anymore. In the entry way we put up a coat tree so in the winter coats are kept handy for when you walk out the door and don’t use all the space in the closet.
Divide and Conquer a Junk Drawer. Remove anything that doesn’t belong, and toss what’s broken
Agree. The most important is the decision of tossing away those broken and unneeded.
I use milk crates under my bed.
I use totes to separate winter and summer clothing, this keeps us more organized. I also tuck gloves and scarfs in winter coats so they are always available, and you’re not looking for them.
We use totes and storage out of season clothes in them, putting them under our bed.
I’m 77 . I threw out most of my stuff, now I have plenty of room
Your solution for cleaning out is really once for all LoL
i made thin shelves across my kitchen windows for bottles
I think the idea of making you stairs into drawers is fantastic
My biggest concern for deep storage is how it can eventually lead to significant hording. I think a stacked pull-out hamper inside a closet is best for most undergarments and shirts, with heavier or finer items like suits, coats, and dress wear hung overhead. Shoes can be placed neatly on the floor next to it. This easily eliminates the need for large clothing cabinets or other storage options.
I wish I had some ideas. I need lots of help.
Plastic see through storage containers are my storage go to’s.
I tried to make shoe rack’s and shelves but wasted so much space, I think everyone could use help in the storage department.
I have 4 under the bed storage bins with wheels
i need some ideas
In the entry I have a coat rack, umbrella vase, & a 6 drawer chest. In my closet I had my husband make a ladder made of wood each step is for storing shoes, boots, jeans and so on and I have hooks for belts, caps, ribbons, etc. Then, I had him make me shadow boxes to display my good items & special pictures.
Our closet is big enough for only my wife’s things.
boxes!
Lots of white wire shelving in the closets and pantry help.
I built a bed frame with storage.
I like the idea of using used toilet paper rolls inside a box to hold power and charging cords!
4 bench seats help
I like using storage bins/totes for organization!
I use plastic storage bins in my closets to store and organize various items and some clothing.
Storage boxes and bins under beds are very helpful.
