Tips on Wardrobe Decluttering
Be Ruthless
Throwing away clothes isn’t easy, but there are methods that make it easier. One such approach is the four-box challenge. This involves four boxes with different classifications:
-
Box 1 – Bin It. For damaged clothes that no one can use anymore.
-
Box 2 – Donate It. For clothes in good condition that can find a new home.
-
Box 3 – Keep It. For the items you still wear on a regular basis.
-
Box 4 – Store It. For clothes you still love, but don’t wear often.
With our bespoke wardrobes and bespoke furniture, you always have the perfect overview of your clothing and accessories. As such, there’s no hiding place for clothes with tags still attached or those you haven’t worn in a year.
You can also apply this concept to all rooms in your Horsham home.
The Reverse Hanger
You’ll be pleasantly surprised how much space the four box challenge creates. You might see corners of hinged or sliding wardrobes you’ve never seen before. Walk-in wardrobes may feel positively roomy. However, the reverse hanger method can take decluttering fitted wardrobes to the next level.
In theory, you should only have clothes you want to keep and wear. If you feel like you’re wearing everything, great! But if you feel like you’re still wearing only a fraction of those garments, the reverse hanger approach can help you. Put all your clothes into the wardrobe with the hanger facing out. When you wear an item, return it with the hanger facing in.
This will identify which clothes you wear often and those you still don’t. If you’re considering making a change to one of our new wardrobes (or additional bespoke furniture), you can remove these last few items. Why not consider donating them to a charity shop in Horsham?
Colour Coordination
A key benefit of our hinged and sliding door wardrobes is the ability to organise the interior. This allows you to colour-coordinate your clothes. By keeping colours and patterns in one section and neutrals in another, you can quickly see which outfits go together well. You can achieve an even better spread with walk-in wardrobes.
Conversely, this approach also highlights which items are more difficult to wear.
Fitted wardrobe installations and bespoke bedroom furniture help you to maximise the space in your Surrey or Sussex home. But it’s important not to waste it. After all, you might want to store other things alongside your clothes. The more efficiently you use your space, the less likely you are to see clutter return.
