Creating a stylish and practical wardrobe space can be daunting– but it doesn’t have to be! Here are 10 invaluable tips to turn your grey wardrobe into a beautifully organized space.
-
Start With a Clean Slate: Empty your wardrobe completely. It may seem like a big task, but it allows you to start afresh with your organisation.
-
Categorize Your Items: Sort everything into categories. Shirts with shirts, trousers with trousers, you get the drift. This makes it easier to see what you have and what you need.
-
Declutter: Be ruthless in getting rid of clothes you don’t wear. If you haven’t worn it in the past year, it might be time for it to go.
-
Use Matching Hangers: This may seem nit-picky, but it’s a game-changer. It makes everything look neater and less cluttered.
-
Store Seasonal Items: If it’s summer, your winter clothes should not be in your main wardrobe. Store them away in vacuum seal bags under the bed or in a separate storage area.
-
Fold Knitwear: To maintain the shape and longevity of your knitwear, fold these items rather than hanging them.
-
Arrange by Colour or Category: Whether you choose to arrange by colour or type of clothing is up to you. Find what works best and stick to it.
-
Utility Items: Items like belts, ties, and scarves can be rolled and neatly stored in a box or drawer in your grey wardrobe.
-
Shoe Storage: Consider adding a shoe rack at the bottom of your grey wardrobe. If you have a large shoe collection, consider storing out of season shoes elsewhere.
-
Maintain the Order: Finally, maintain your newly tidied wardrobe’s order. Regularly reassess and detach sentiment from the clothes that are no longer serving you.
In conclusion, organising your wardrobe does not have to be a stressful process. Think of it as a wardrobe ‘detox’, creating space for your grey wardrobe to breathe and show you the clothes that bring you joy. Practise these steps, and your grey wardrobe will go from a cluttered mess to a showcase of your personal style in no time!
