Get Rid of the Old
It’s hard to get a handle on your summer attire needs if you don’t take a close look at your existing wardrobe. Before the mercury starts to rise, take time to get rid of unneeded items like those moth-eaten sweaters or your old boots. You may want to store winter clothes in another part of the home so it’s easier to see your summer wardrobe at a glance. Just remember to keep cold-weather apparel somewhere cool, dry, and safe from pests and pets.
Bring in the New
Once you’ve pared down your current wardrobe, you can add those items you need to get through the season. Before hitting the shops, take time to dust and vacuum your closet. The last thing you want to do is put your beautiful new clothes away in a space that’s less than tidy. For best results, make sure you have appropriate spaces for all types of apparel, from flimsy summer cover-ups to bikinis and swim bottoms.
Install Closet Shelving for Accessories
Summer clothes take up less space than their winter counterparts, a fact that makes storing them less of a hassle. However, the same cannot be said for some warm weather accessories, which don’t fit neatly on a shelf or in a cubby. In particular, you may struggle to stow bulky beach bags, big straw hats, large towels, and even platform sandals. Along with installing closet shelving for larger items, we recommend stowing smaller bags inside larger ones and hanging hats on the back of the door.
Put Your Belongings Away Before Bed
Regardless of the time of year, you can’t keep your closet clean and tidy if you don’t do the work. To ensure your closet stays organized, make an effort to put your belongings away at the end of the day. You’ll thank yourself when you wake up the next morning to a spotless space.
