Unfortunately, summer has come and gone and now its time to bring out the fall wardrobe. With closet space always being hard to come by here are some storage ideas to help you transition from summer to fall and maximize your space.
Invest In a Clothing Rack
This is an easy and quick solution if you don’t have a closet or if you don’t have enough space in your current closet. Clothing racks are great because they allow you to stay organized, they’re portable, and can come with drawers and shelves providing extra space for shoes and accessories. They’re also great because you can always make your own and if you don’t have the floor space you can always make a hanging rack. Whether you need extra space for your fall clothes or a place to store your summer clothes clothing racks are a great storage solution to help keep your organized and give you extra space.
Maximize Your Closet Space
Before you decide to get the clothing rack another great way of creating extra space is by maximizing the space you do currently have. Most closets aren’t optimized for space so see if you can add some shelves on the bottom or if you can fit in an extra bar or two. By organizing your closet so that all your short hanging pieces are together you can use the space under for more storage. Also, you can also make better use of the upper shelf by stacking storage bins or using storage dividers so that everything is organized and easy to grab.
Out of Sight Storage
Another great way of creating extra space for your fall clothes or to help store your summer threads is out of sight storage. You can use storage bins to store some shorts or light dresses under the bed or old drawers to store your sweaters under the bed. Another great way of creating some extra storage that also doubles as seating is by buying an ottoman with hidden storage or transforming one that you already have. Whether you decide to use an ottoman with hidden storage or go under the bed, you are sure to free up some space in your closet for all your fall pieces.
Use Your Closet Door
Another great way of freeing up closet space or maximizing space is by making use of your closet door. You can use a variety of hanging closet door organizers to help store your shoes or accessories. This is a great way of freeing up some space at the bottom and top of your closet so that you can make room for some of your favorite fall clothes.
Storage Unit
You’ve tried all of our tips mentioned above and still don’t have enough space for all your clothes to fit, maybe its time to look into a storage unit. Storage units are a great way of creating extra space in your house and staying organized. When you rent a unit you will know exactly where you put all your summer clothes so you won’t spend time looking for everything when you need it.
