Storage systems
There are special dressing rooms in which there are separate shelves and drawers for things. They are called storage systems. They can be built-in - thanks to the mechanisms of each system extends their closet. Designers and technologies of modern cabinets share the following systems:
- Compact shelf for shoes.
- Retractable niches for ties.
- Swivel mechanisms for hangers.
The first will fit well into the interior of the hallway. Shelves are also placed at the bottom of the cabinets. The second will be appropriate in the dimensional cabinets where you can install a retractable storage system. The latter are used only with tall cabinets.
Important! Small walls or slides in the living room are also suitable for storing seasonal items that people use once or twice a year.
Having looked at a lot of interesting offers, it becomes clear how to put things in the closet, using just a few tips and tricks.
Seasonal storage
The wardrobe is taken apart twice a year. Winter clothes are sent to the closet after the end of the cold season. Summer is replaced by winter, when frost and wind come. Therefore it is recommended:
- Use special boxes - the upper shelves will serve as a good place to store unnecessary things at the moment. So that they take up less space, it is recommended to stack them one on top of the other without creases.
- Seasonal clothes should be clean and ironed, then you can save space. Sort it by material.
- Vacuum bags come in handy in a small cupboard. There are simple and equipped with a hanger.
If all things are packed in a bag on a hanger, it will fit about two or three down jackets, several coats and jackets. How to neatly put things in a closet using a simple air compression system is described in the video.
It is important to understand that fur products cannot be stored in vacuum bags, since the lack of air will cause the fur to lose its original appearance and become unsuitable for further use. Simple things do not crumple, you can store down and sintepon jackets. Outerwear always takes up a lot of space, so bags-covers with hooks for hangers are more often bought.
We put things as intended
If the closet has the right things and those that are a pity to throw away, they can be sorted. Rarely used should be folded deeper into the closet, often worn - closer to the edge of the shelf, so that access to them is easy. It is also recommended to correctly use the dressing room and various storage systems:
- Top shelves are reserved only for large items of clothing.
- If there are shelves along the entire height of the cabinet, the lower ones should be allocated for bedding or bedspreads.
- Baskets for small accessories will always be in sight.
- The more compact the space, the more difficult it is to fit drawers.
- You need to sort by type of material: thin fabrics take up less space, dense and knitted - about two shelves.

Proper sorting: how to fold underwear
There is another problem that concerns mainly the fair sex. It is especially useful for girls to learn how to carefully fold underwear in the closet so that it takes up less space, but also does not lose its original appearance. Men are also encouraged to study the storage system for underwear and socks.
Marie Kondo is a well-known blogger who has turned her hobby into a plot game with order. Now she shares her skills and knowledge in the field of storage of underwear:
- Tights are folded several times, vertically edge-wise placed in a small basket. So they take up less space, and they are easy to choose by color.
- Bras must always fit cups to each other. So they will retain their shape and will not be remembered during storage.
- It is recommended to fold panties of different shapes separately - double bikini and bathing suits. Normal linen is stored in pairs - by color, material, stack.
If there are several drawers in the laundry cabinet, it is recommended to use baskets. Each will serve as a storage capacity for bikinis and socks. Some outfits and underwear sets can fit in the back of the drawer. And pajamas and peignoirs are on hangers.
Shirts, blouses, sweaters: storage rules
To understand how to neatly fold things in a closet, you need to learn the technique of folding shirts. It is similar to the one used to add sweaters. Sleeves are folded to the middle of the thing, buttons are touched. One of the ways is presented in the video, but you can neglect the nuances by fastening only the top button.
Thanks to this formula, the order of things in the closet blouses and shirts will save not only the appearance, but also the place. It is important to hush the sleeves behind the back, and then double the hem.
Men's shirts with long sleeves are usually stored on hangers, but this method does not allow you to keep the item in perfect condition. Sleeves are wrinkled, the collar is gathering dust. Women's shirts and blouses with short sleeves can be hung on the shoulders. Ironing will take less time. It is permissible to use a steamer that does not require time to prepare things - placement on an ironing board, constant steaming of the places around the buttons.
How to fold bedding: effective and simple tips
The most urgent question: "How to fold bedding neatly?" The closet usually stands out the drawer, the deepest. Sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases are stored there. One problem still remains: there are elastic sheets. They have a rather specific form that lends itself to the usual method of double addition.
The video shows two ways to quickly and beautifully fold such sheets. This will not only save space, but also not to mash things in the closet during long-term storage.
It is necessary to allocate a place for bedding. A good solution would be a box under the bed or mounted in a sofa. Such a system allows you to use one or another set, to store sheets that are unnecessary so far.
Using organizers for little things
Organizers not only save space, but also help to sort small items and accessories. These can be cells and dividers, where ties, socks, tights are placed:
- Cells or dividers are designed to form separate niches for storing small-sized things. Deep and tiny fit up to several socks.
- Horizontal dividers allow you to store underwear stationary. Designed for box dimensions.
- Hanging stands with molds will tell you how to store things in a cabinet on the inside of the door.
- Sectional open structures can occupy half a shelf. This will allow zoning the space for large items and easy to find small accessories.
- Sectional compartments on the hanger are also located on handrails inside the cabinet or on the door.
Knowing how to carefully put things in a closet, you can choose several options for organizers for small items and accessories that need to be used constantly. For boxes, you can order the desired size sector with cells. Such devices can be built-in and mobile. The latter are easily seized, and secret objects can be placed under them. For example, a set of linen, jewelry, or something for a special occasion.
Little cabinet helpers
We should also talk about scarves, belts, belts and accessories for dresses. They also require separate storage space. Today, know-how stores invented real saviors:
