Where can I find new places to store old things?
1. Make the most of cabinet doors
Are the cabinet doors unoccupied? Then let's use them wisely. We attach it to inner side door hooks, hangers or canvas with small pockets. Here we will place scarves, belts, gloves, small bags, hats or jewelry.
2. Add a second bar
What is better – more hangers or more shelves? If you like it when you can find the right thing in two minutes, and all your clothes are neatly hung and never wrinkle, then have two rods in your closet. Skirts and jackets will live on the top, and blouses and jeans folded in half on the bottom.
3. Connecting hangers
It is better to connect hangers together: with small hooks, rings or even tongues from tin cans. It turns out that all things will be located on several levels. The only negative is that in order to pull out the dress that hangs on the first level, you need to remove the second and third. We don’t save time – but we save a lot of space.
4. Use the height of the room
Please note, do you have free space under the ceiling? If you can throw a couple of baskets or drawers on top of the cabinet, then use it. Put seasonal items in the far corner: winter hats in the summer, and swimsuits in the winter. Maybe old memories or lovely gifts from old acquaintances will be kept there.
5. Place beautiful floor hangers around the room

Ask grandma for a couple of vintage suitcases and turn them into a stylish piece of furniture. Of course, they won’t be empty inside – we store books, seasonal clothes or shoes in them.
9. Use clothes dividers
When things are not folded neatly, they automatically take up a lot more space. To solve the problem of clutter in your chest of drawers once and for all, buy (or make your own) special fabric boxes.
