Are you a member of the 'Open-the-Closet-and-Avalanche' club, just like Monica and her 1637 followers? Fret not! After years of battling the wardrobe war, Monica has finally cracked the code to a neat and tidy closet. Let's dive into her secrets! 🕵️♀️👚
1.Smart Shelf Spacing: If your closet's turning into a fabric jungle, it's time to rethink your shelf game. Opt for a minimum width of 40 cm for your shelves. Why? Because it's the Goldilocks zone - not too big, not too small, just right for folded clothes and accessories. And let's talk about adjustable shelves – they're like the yoga instructors of the closet world, flexing to fit your storage needs and keeping those piles of clothes from turning into a crumpled mess.
2.Eye-Level is the Key: Ever played the 'blind grab' game with high shelves? Not fun. Monica suggests keeping your shelves below eye level (think 90% of your height). This way, you can actually see and easily grab what you need without causing a clothes-tsunami. Store those rarely used items like quilts, seasonal clothes, and suitcases up high, where they can't wreak havoc. 🌊
3.Storage Boxes for the Win: Dealing with a deeper closet (around 55-60 cm)? That's a double-edged sword! Sure, you can stack two rows of clothes, but that just makes it harder to reach the back row and keeps your closet in a perpetual state of messiness. Enter storage boxes! By standing clothes up in boxes, you'll avoid the dreaded dig-and-flip routine. Plus, transparent drawers for socks, undies, and accessories make it super easy to spot what you need.
4. Maximize with Hanging and Shelves: When designing your dream closet, think of hanging space as the main character and shelves as the supporting cast. Research shows that hanging clothes is not only easier but also more space-efficient than folding. Divide your hanging space into two sections: one for long items like dresses and coats, and another for shirts, tops, and pants. Use shelves for delicate items prone to creasing and for small accessories like jewelry and bags.
So, there you have it – Monica's foolproof plan to transform your closet from a battleground to a haven of order and style. Say goodbye to the days of clothes mountains and hello to a closet that's as organized as a library (but way more fun to browse)! 📚👗🎉
