Ah, wedding season. Couples happily say their vows, excitement abounds, and romance fills the air. But for newlyweds moving in together, the honeymoon can be over as soon as the groom lifts his bride over the threshold. For many couples, the transition from having a solo closet to a shared space isn\u2019t an easy one. However, there are simple ways couples can live happily ever after without breaking up with their beloved closets.<\/p>\n

1) Figure out what to toss before you move in<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moving provides a great opportunity to go through your wardrobe and figure out what stays and what goes; but, it\u2019s especially important to do so before moving in with your significant other. A good rule of thumb is if you haven\u2019t worn a piece of clothing in over a year, then you probably won\u2019t wear it again. Label three large bins \u201cKeep,\u201d \u201cDonate\u201d and \u201cToss,\u201d and separate the items in your closet accordingly. This will give you a chance to go through everything before the unwanted items reach the dumpster. For couples who already live together, this can be a perfect partner project. Instead of throwing out something on behalf of your spouse without his or her knowledge, sift through everything together.<\/p>\n

2) Keep your closet tidy and it won\u2019t feel so tiny<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keeping a closet clean and organized is an easy way to make it feel larger. Small storage solutions<\/a>, such as sliding belt racks<\/a> and jewelry drawers, provide simple opportunities to stash loose items. Adjustable shelves, cubbies and baskets m<\/p>\n

y to store away articles of clothing, rather than allowing them to pile up on the floor. When everything has a place, there may be more room inside your tiny closet than you realize.<\/p>\n

3) Create hiding spaces<\/strong><\/p>\n

No one needs to air their dirty laundry in public. Consider placing tilt-out hampers into custom closets to stash away laundry or keep dry cleaning items separated. Cabinet doors are also a great way to hide whatever doesn\u2019t need to be out in the open but may be too large for a drawer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4) Establish closet boundaries<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like it or not, you can\u2019t share EVERYTHING \u2014 even if you are sharing a closet, you don\u2019t have to share every shelf and every drawer. Dividing a closet into sections allows each partner to feel like he or she has a space of his or her own. Even if one person\u2019s wardrobe takes up more than half the closet, drawing a line can help keep you both in check.<\/p>\n

5) Partner up for a dream project<\/strong><\/p>\n

You might not already have your dream closet, but who says you can\u2019t turn it into one? Whether your closet is a large walk-in or a small reach-in, Closets by Design\u2019s Everyday, Classic and Regency Collections provide numerous styles and options. Creating a custom closet<\/a> that\u2019s the right fit for you and your spouse will prove beneficial in the end \u2014 and this is the perfect project for newlyweds learning how to live (and work) together. After all, two heads are better than one. But of course, in this case, it’s three heads since you\u2019ll have the help of a Closets by Design consultant<\/a>.<\/p>\n
