BUYER’S GUIDE
You’d think organizing would be a straightforward process but there are variables that will influence your decision. Before you buy, consider the following:
- Budget: organizing isn’t always cheap so make sure you have a budget in mind before making a purchase.
- Measure: the worst feeling is buying a storage cabinet then getting it home only to realize it is the wrong size. Make sure to carefully measure your space.
- Your needs: what will you be storing? Will you need locks? Will the items be heavy? All of these things will influence your purchase.
- Decor: if aesthetics matter, and for most of us it does, make sure the storage cabinet you choose fits your style and home.
- Additions: are you considering a whole storage system or think you may upgrade at a later date? If so, make sure you have plenty of space for additions.
There are lots of fun and decorative ways! Think about pretty baskets or special organizers for storing cans or dishes. Organizing spices? There are a lot of nice expandable spice racks available.
Don’t be afraid to be as creative as you want to be. You certainly don’t have to go to any trouble to organize the inside of your cabinet but think about how nice it’d be to open it and see the results of your creativity!
Our clothes are an item with which we want to take great care. To safely store your clothes, try these tips:
- If you are a person who rotates clothes seasonally, be sure you wash everything before storing.
- Use baskets or see-through containers to store shoes and small items.
- Remember the Marie Kondo craze? She recommends you store your clothing items vertically instead of stacked on top of each other. Think filing for your clothes!
- If your cabinet has the space, try using hooks on the inside of the doors for belts, scarves, and even jewelry.
- Use decorative mothball sachets to keep away pests.
- Consider organizing by color so you can easily find what you need.
