If you live in a place with breezy falls and cold winters, then you probably struggle with parkas and coats taking up your precious closet space. Sweaters are bulky and also contribute to the problem of never-enough-room. If you live in an apartment with limited storage space for clothes, it appears that your seasonal gear could be piling up and taking over your home.
Don’t worry, though. Here are some small space solutions to help you store those bulky sweaters and coats in your apartment!
A Coat Hanger and Storage Bench Are a Must at the Entryway
It’s amazing just how many coats, hats, scarves, and handbags one can load onto a sturdy hanger – and I’m not talking hooks but an old-school coat hanger! For clunky shoes like rain or snow boots, I recommend a storage bench. A storage bench makes for an elegant and efficient entryway! Plus, you now have more seating for putting on/removing your gloves and galoshes.
Vacuum Packers Help Maximize Space
I know these things seem like a crazy TV infomercial spoof but trust me…they DO work! I’ve moved across seas several times and was only able to fit my sweaters into my luggage because of the vacuum packs.
Under-the-Bed Storage Boxes
Even if your bed isn’t designed with storage compartments, the low boxes from Ikea will help store all of your essential fall and winter gear. The easily slide under the bed, which in turn helps with cleaner looking closets!
Over-the-Door Shoe Hanger
Are your shoes scattered on the closet floor or strewn along the shelves? Instead, put them on a door hanger to regain that valuable closet real estate for storage bins.
Install Foldable Shelves
Foldable shelves allow you to easily see fall and winter accessories, making it simple to choose what to wear.
