Seasonal Storage: Tidy Up Your Wardrobe Now

With the help of Leroy Merlin experts, we share easy life hacks for beautiful and convenient storage.

Don't skimp on shoe racks

The shoes you wear regularly are best stored in the hallway. For shoes, it's better to choose closed storage systems, especially if you have pets that might damage them.

A convenient wardrobe with sliding shelves will help maintain visual order and won't take up much space.

Put shoes in boxes and label them

Or stick photos on each box, and stack the boxes on top of one another with the labeled side facing you. This is a great idea for storing seasonal shoes. You'll be surprised how easy it will be to find the right pair later.

Use hanging shelves

The perfect solution for storing knitwear and woolen items. You shouldn't hang them—this can cause deformation. When shelf space runs out, a special fabric hanger-shelf will solve your storage problem. Plus, it's very budget-friendly.

Use open shelves

We're used to the idea that open shelves aren't suitable for storing clothes. But why? If you're used to maintaining perfect order and regularly dusting, open storage systems can be an excellent choice. They work great for items you need to keep within reach.

Just buy a few decorative boxes, put your items inside, and place them on the shelf. It's convenient and looks great. A good option for small apartments where every centimeter counts.

Try drawer dividers

These are order saviors in your wardrobe and help optimize space. With them, you can store clothes and accessories on one shelf without worrying about losing anything.

These dividers are easy to use for storing clothes on upper shelves of wardrobes—pulling them out is much easier than trying to find the right T-shirt in a pile while standing on your toes.

Store items vertically

According to the method of Marie Kondo, a specialist in home organization, it doesn't matter where you store items—boxes or shelves. What matters is how. Fold the items into rectangles and stand them upright, like books. This way, you save more space. Also, it's much easier to reach the item.

Use the space above the ceiling

Mounted shelves are an excellent way to find extra storage for accessories. To keep the interior from looking cluttered, remember decorative boxes and wicker or jute baskets. By the way, these are trendy right now!

Use clothing rails

They're versatile: you can install rails in the hallway for seasonal outerwear, place them in a dressing room, or leave them in the bedroom to create a small open closet. If you're a minimalist when it comes to wardrobes, a rail like this might make your wardrobe unnecessary.

Store seasonal clothes in covers

Seasonal items, especially made from natural fabrics, should be stored correctly. Wool coats, down jackets, fur coats—don't leave them exposed in wardrobes; put them in covers. This way, you protect the material from dust, dirt, and moths, and you won't have to find a special place for your items.

Try to find space for a dressing room

Even the smallest dressing room is better than a wardrobe because space is used to its maximum. You can find space for a dressing room even in a small apartment: use a niche, design it yourself using drywall, or separate the corner with curtains. There are many options.

In a dressing room, provide open shelves, adjustable rods, and special hangers (for pants or scarves). And you won't face storage problems anymore.
