We tell about smart ways to store winter shoes and clothes so that you can prepare by the end of the season and do not spoil the interior with stakes with things.
Preparation of things for storage
Perhaps for someone this advice will seem obvious, but most of us do not care about the seasonal cleaning of clothes and remove it until the next season immediately after socks. We recommend thoroughly clean clothes, dry it - then you can be confident in its preservation.
Fur products are better to give in dry cleaning. If there is no possibility, spend the fur and dry it. The down jackets can most often wash in a typewriter on a delicate mode. Warm sweaters too, and for cashmere products a hand washer fit. Coat can also be given in dry cleaning or wrapping manually.
After your winter clothes have become clean and dry, time to pick up suitable storage for it.
Ideas for compact storage of things
1. Send fur coats to the closet on the balcony
Shubs need coolness. Unfortunately, a special refrigerator is a too luxurious solution for a city apartment, so we carry a small blood - storage on the loggia. The cabinet on the loggia is one of the most obvious options for a compact storage system in the apartment of any size, but most often we do not store things on the balcony, we are afraid that they will ruin. With the upper clothes from fur, you can not be afraid - put a small closet on the loggia and keep the fur coats there.
The wardrobe will fit into a small simpleness with a minimum gap, and does not take much space.

2. Put down jackets, jackets, sweaters in vacuum packages
Productive idea - remove volumetric things into vacuum packages. Seasonal jackets, down jackets, sweaters and even warm blankets can be put in special packages from which oxygen rolls out with a vacuum cleaner, reducing their volume several times.
Tip: Choose large vacuum packages, they have the best efficiency on saving space.

3. Keep shoes in boxes and sign each pair
The simplest solution is to buy cardboard boxes and fold the winter shoes there. In order to facilitate their search for the desired pair in the next season, sign the box. Store shoes in packages - not the most far-sighted solution. First, a large number of different packages create a mess. And he, as we have already found out above, is the main enemy of the beautiful interior. Secondly, the boxes can be placed compactly on several shelves and pull out the desired pair if necessary, without opening alternately each of them.

Just put shoes on the shelves in the closet or dressing room - not the best option. The dust will still accumulate on the skin and dumb, they will have to periodically clean them and spend their time.
4. Place the hats in special boxes
If you are a lover of hats, not hats, do not neglect them with the right storage. Leave a hat on the top shelf - not the best option. Felt, wool or any other material are rapidly polluted, you will have to clean them again in front of the sock next season. The same cardboard boxes that you bought for shoes will become a suitable storage option for hats.
5. Provide useful space
Space under the bed or upper shelves in cabinets, which are often not used due to hard-to-access, are places that can be used in full force, especially in small-sized apartments. In order not to create visual mess, use special storage containers in wardrobes and design boxes / baskets for space under the bed. In such boxes you can fold the warm sweaters, scarves, caps.

6. Find unusual solutions
If the storage of winter clothes critically lacks the place either in the cabinets, nor under the bed, time to fantasize. Find vintage suitcases or chests and fold things there - such storage systems can be used as a decor in the room, not to hide them.

7. Use special hangers for scarves.
Save the place on the shelves in the closet or in the dressing room will help a special hanger on which you can hang more than 10 scarves and leave in the closet.
Tip: If you have woolen or cashmere scarves, it is better to store them in folded, as the material can stretch out. An embodiment with a hanger is suitable for silk or acrylic accessories.

8. Take care of the necessary accessories
Before folding warm things until the next season, make sure you have all the necessary accessories: hangers, fur coats, boxes and vacuum packages, containers. It is much easier to place all the clothes at once than to gradually buy a storage system and fold everything again - so you can lose a valuable useful space.
