Does your wardrobe sometimes smell musty, is it overcrowded or could it use a little inner beauty? Then the following tips are for you!

The solution is halfway there

The first step to a tidy wardrobe is always to tidy it up. Because, let's be honest, most of us probably have too many clothes. So, first, choose all the clothes that you no longer wear, for example because they are damaged, no longer fit or you simply don't like them.

Having trouble saying goodbye to your clothes? Pay attention to how long you don't wear some of your clothes. There are several ways to do this:

1. Next time you organize your wardrobe, hang your hangers in the opposite direction to where you would normally hang them. When you hang up the worn item, rotate the hanger. If after six months the hanger has not changed position, it is a sign that the garment has no longer been worn and can be discarded. 2. If you want to do a wardrobe analysis, you can do a wardrobe analysis.

2. if you want to make a bit of confusion, hang some nice ribbons on the hangers with the date of last use written on them.

3. When sorting folded clothes, place a sheet of paper with the current date on top of the pile. What you find underneath you after half a year, you will probably never wear again in the future.

Have you already sorted out some items of clothing? Very good, but don't throw them away: you should sell, give away or donate undamaged items. The average German buys 60 items of clothing per year! To make sure that after the next season and a few shopping trips your wardrobe is not as full as it was at the beginning, you can follow the following rule: Every time a new item of clothing enters your wardrobe, an old one goes out.

A wardrobe straight out of an illustrated book

Do you give particular importance to the fact that your wardrobe is not only tidy, but also beautiful to look at? Then sort your clothes by color: For example, hang them in a color gradient from light to dark or stack clothes of a similar color on top of each other. If you use boxes to store clothes, choose them in a single color that you like. The hangers should also all be the same, so that the interior of the wardrobe is as harmonious as possible.

Use a seasonal wardrobe

To create as much space as possible in your wardrobe, you should only store what you really need at the moment. Is the weather outside getting warmer? Then choose your winter clothes and store them under the bed, in the cellar or in the attic. The best thing is to use transparent boxes, so you can later see what you are storing. Alternatively or additionally, you can label the boxes.

Keep the big picture

Have you already boxed up all the clothes you don't need right now? You might have this problem: At the beginning of the next season, you unpack your clothes from the boxes and realize that you have once again bought a new gray sweater, even though you already own three similar ones. To avoid forgetting what you actually already have at home, you should document the contents of the boxes exactly. The best way to do this is to take photos when packing the boxes, write down exactly what's inside, or use the AppmyBox application. This smartphone application allows you to register boxes and assign clothes to them in the form of photos.

Use the drawers and roll up the clothes

Your wardrobe doesn't have to be all hangers and shelves. Drawers offer many benefits, as long as you use the best organizational system.
Start dividing the drawers with matching baskets or boxes. To optimize the space in the compartments and make everything easily visible, roll up socks, tights, underwear and belts. Drawer dividers not only help you keep things in order, but also tell you at a glance when you need to do laundry again.
You can also use the rolling technique for T-shirts, pajamas, cotton shirts, leggings and polyester shorts, because they are usually thin and flexible. This technique is very space saving if you use it correctly. Instead of folding and stacking softer, thinner garments, simply fold them in half and roll them into neat little tubes. Rolled up, they can then be placed in boxes for storage.
The wardrobe is a place where you can store many small items: Jewellery, belts, scarves, ties and much more. The best way to store small items and jewelry is to use adhesive hooks to attach to the inside of a closet door or to an empty wall.
