7 Tips That Help Unclutter Closet Organizers During Changing Seasons

Closet organizers make your storage space much more functional

. But if you don't have a big walk-in type closet you may not be able to store all your clothes there throughout the year.

For those who don't have a big walk-in closet, here are some tips to help you overcome the problem of clothes seasonality:

-Bulky winter clothes should be stored elsewhere during the summer and summer clothes should be kept somewhere else during the winter. Since you'll only be wearing these in season, it doesn't make sense to have them taking up valuable space all year. Spring and fall clothes are often worn year round, so they can stay.

-As you look through your clothes get rid of items that you don't wear anymore. These would include anything you've outgrown, is out of style or is worn out. This is a great time to de-clutter the closet and to give clothes still in good shape to Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc.

-Each season's clothes should be grouped together. This not only works in the closet but in other storage spaces such as drawers. It will make it much easier to find these when needed.

-As you put the out of season clothes away, do so by sameness. Coats, sweaters and heavy items would go together in containers. Other items such as long sleeve shirts or lighter jackets can share storage. Boots and other seasonal footwear can also be stored but should be cleaned first.

-Rigid cardboard boxes or plastic containers with tight fitting lids work well to place the clothes in when they're out of season. If you use cardboard boxes, make sure they're kept in a dry place. Good quality storage boxes can be purchased at hardware stores or department stores.

-A Denver closet organizer suggests using plastic containers for clothes storage in dry climates like Colorado's. This will actually keep certain clothes from getting too dry and becoming brittle. Plastic containers are also easier to stack than cardboard boxes.

-If you're using cardboard it might be a good idea to also wrap them with clear plastic to help keep out insects in addition to moisture. You can also add a bar of soap inside the container or box to discourage bugs from taking up residence.

Keeping any storage space useful and uncluttered will take a little effort but will be worth it. Just an hour or two in the spring and again in the fall is really all you'll need once you first get organized.

If you feel you're in need of additional storage space and closet organizers, there are many options available. Do-it-yourself systems can be found at all hardware stores and many closet designing companies are now available to help people who struggle with storage solutions.
