Is your wardrobe/closet a mess? Are your ironed clothes crushed in the wardrobe or not even making it in there for fear of wrinkles? Do feel like you have nothing to wear, despite having lots of clothes? Do you run out of time in the morning getting ready?
Imagine getting up in the morning, going to your wardrobe, picking out one of your favorite outfits in a minute flat and looking great all day. You can do that by doing a clear-out and organizing your custom wardrobes Sydney.
Here are the steps to an organized wardrobe:
1. Take all your clothes and place them on the bed or somewhere else convenient- you'll probably be surprised by how much you've got!
2. Go through each item and ask yourself some important questions:
If the answer is no, then you need to let go of it. You should feel comfortable and attractive in every item that you decide to keep, if an item just isn't working for you then it has to go.
3. You'll need to sort your clothes into a few different piles:
-
Keepers: clothes that you wear often that are going back into the custom built-in wardrobes Sydney are ready to wear and look good on you.
-
Charity: To friends or charity shops, you are giving away the clothes. They must be in good condition, if not, they are throwaways.
-
Sell/ return: clothes that still have the tags attached and can be returned or exchanged and clothes that are of a particular quality that can be sold online or to a consignment store.
-
Throwaways: items that are worn out, stained or just plain hideous.
4. Once you have completed steps 1-3, here are some simple tips for organizing your custom walk-in wardrobe:
-
Group like items together and then sort them by color.
-
Jeans and skirts can either be hung up or folded and placed on shelves.
-
Jumpers/sweaters should never be hung less they become misshapen.
-
T-shirts can be folded and placed in drawers or on shelves.
-
Don't use wire hangers, they can corrode in humid environments and ruin clothes.
-
Protect dresses and suits by hanging them in canvas bags. Plastic dry-cleaning bags hold the chemicals in. This is bad for your health and causes the clothing to discolor. Take the bags off as soon as you get your dry-cleaning home, and hang outdoors to allow the chemicals to release.
-
Scarves can be placed in a drawer or hung on a scarf hanger.
-
Use drawer organizers to arrange your socks and underwear.
-
Shoes can be stored on the floor, on shoe shelves or in canvas pockets that hang on the back of a door.
-
There are many different ways to store jewelry- one simple thing to do is use Scotch 3M hooks on the back of a door or inside the wardrobe/closet to hang necklaces on.
-
To store out of season clothing, use clear plastic containers. Include cedar balls in the containers.
-
So that you can put items away easier, label the ends of your shelves. Put the labels in their language as well, if you have a housekeeper who speaks another language.
-
If you are based in a humid area, consider using Damp Rid to protect your clothes from moisture and prevent mold.
5. Shop for organizing products at Howards Storage World and put your built in wardrobes Sydney back together.
6. Don't forget to bring the donations to the charity drop off!
7. Enjoy all of the extra time you have in the morning getting ready!
Here's a really hard core approach: don't do your laundry for 3 weeks, after the 3 weeks donate everything that is left unworn in your wardrobe. Do your laundry and buy all new hangers and organizing products. Now make your wardrobe look like a retail shop with your favorite clothing and the organizing products. You will find it fun to "Shop" every day in your own wardrobe for free.
