While Closets by Design provides custom closet systems to fit any consumer\u2019s storage needs, they also offer expert advice to help you cut through the clutter:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Stop storing your seasonal clothes and get a Closet Organizer<\/strong> &#8211; It\u2019s amazing how much more can fit into a closet that has an organizer system installed. Clothes, shoes and accessories for all seasons can fit neatly into one closet. No more searching through boxes under your bed or in the garage for something you \u201cput away for summer\u201d when everything can be at your fingertips.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Give your closet a fresh start<\/strong> \u2013 Once a year you should give your closet a complete cleaning; wash or vacuum the floor, dust the shelving and walls of your closet so your space is clean and fresh smelling. By committing to an annual cleaning, you are also committing to going through your belongings to decide what you really want to keep and what is ready to be discarded.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sell, trade, or donate<\/strong> \u2013 Many people have tightened their budgets and people are finding new ways to make their money stretch farther. Sell clothes through on-line auction sites or a garage sale. Hold a Trading Party with girlfriends to acquire a \u201cnew\u201d wardrobe without spending any money. Donate the remaining items to a tax-deductible charity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Create an organizational system<\/strong> \u2013 Hang like-types of clothing together (i.e. shirts, pants, skirts, etc.) and make sure all articles are facing the same direction. Group them by color and from dark to light.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid wire hangers<\/strong> \u2013 Use sturdy plastic hangers or wood hangers with clips for all items. Wire hangers tend to misshape clothes, and because most do not have groves to keep clothing from slipping off, you\u2019ll spend extra time sorting and re-hanging items you find on the floor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>About Closets by Design<\/strong><br \/>\nSince 1982, Closets by Design has built a reputation as the nation\u2019s leader in the closet organizing and storage remodeling industry.
