Calculate the numbers.

Make a list of everything you have in your closet. We recommend using our Clothing Storage Guide for average measurements. In order to determine how much space you’ll need for hanging, shelving, and accessories, you’ll need to make these calculations beforehand. To help you organize and design your home more effectively, total up your clothes and belongings.

Hang dresses or long clothes on a hanger first.

Put drawers and shelves after the long hang section. Double hang the remaining space to maximize vertical space. Average woman’s long hang should take up 18-24 inches of space.

You should fold knits and sweaters to prevent them from being damaged.

By stacking or folding sweaters, knits, and t-shirts in drawers or shelves, you can help maintain the garment’s shape. You should fold them into drawers in such a way that you can see what shirt you are pulling out easily. When stacking folded clothes, keep them at the following heights: 2-3 sweaters, 4-5 shirts, and 4-6 jeans.

Consider seasonal storage when designing.

When space is limited, move your seasonal clothing (spring, summer, fall, winter) from the master closet into a secondary closet. Keeping seasonal items organized and accessible will be a breeze with baskets and bins. By adapting freedomRail to the season, you can wear tall boots in the winter or skinny sandals in the summer.

Separate a shared closet by creating a visible line.

As a result, future arguments about crowding or mixing clothes will not occur. Share a closet with a significant other here and learn more about how to do it. Custom made wardrobes for women usually takes up more space and requires a longer hang than clothing for men. When you share a wardrobe, consider this when designing it.

Shoe storage is designed with extra space in mind.

A woman owns an average of forty pairs of shoes, while a man owns an average of ten. It should be designed with ample shoe storage and with room for growth. Flat shelves accommodate more shoes, and they are best stored heel-to-toe so as to maximize space. Take a look at these 5 ways to organize your shoe collection for more shoe organization tips.
