Before proceeding with the reorganization of an old cabinet, it is necessary to understand what lies here. There are several rules to this debriefing. If you understand them – excellent, but if not, then remember.

Start with a stained sheet. Cleaning up, moving things from place to place in a stuffed closet, is just plain stupid. Pull everything out, painstakingly sort and sort. Only then fold the cautious stacks back. I guarantee you will find several things that you forgot to think about. Check seasonal clothing. When putting winter or summer items on standby, inspect them well. Stains should be removed and severed buttons sewn. Bring the clothes in a state of full readiness, so that at any moment you can just take it out of the closet, put it on and go on business. You must admit that the last thing you expect when you get a warm jacket during the first frosts is to find out that her zipper is broken. And since last year. Do not hang what needs to be folded, and vice versa. Hang: shirts, dresses, skirts, trousers. Folded: clothes decorated with bead embroidery, cashmere and delicate fabrics, jeans. Two boxes maximum in height. Storing things in boxes has only one drawback – these same boxes are piled on top of each other, creating as a result a structure that goes into the clouds. In the case of storing seasonal items, this is still acceptable, but if it comes to what you use daily, try to limit yourself to just two boxes. Larger numbers will not be very convenient to constantly take out and put in place. Do not try to do everything at a time. It will not work, believe the sad experience. Each task has its own time. Seasons do not replace each other in the blink of an eye, so that you will have time to gradually restore order and prepare for the coming of autumn. For example, first we deal with sandals and light dresses, but we leave t-shirts, windbreakers and sneakers for later, they will come in handy until the cold finally comes. Do not accumulate trash. For every item you just bought, there should be two old ones that you need to get rid of. Online auctions, charity foundations and orphanages are full of places where unnecessary things will do far more than in your closet.

So, we put things in order, and now we go directly to tricks that will significantly expand the usable area. Do not steam and just buy an extra closet? This is not life hacking. We still need to figure out where to put it, and our advice works even in the most cramped conditions.
