So what if the suitcase doesn’t provide enough room to make a dent in your closets? (See Tip #1 in a previous post.) Here are a few other places to stash excess items from your closets.
Take a look around your home to find other items that can do double duty.
· Trunk or other decorative storage pieces that are currently empty or underutilized, i.e. nightstand drawers, piano bench. People won’t peek in these, but they will open closets and cupboards.
· Garment bags. OK, this is an extension of the suitcase, but I thought I’d mention it.
· Wardrobe box from the moving store. This can easily go in the garage or other storage area and clear a bedroom closet. Bonus – you’re ready to move!
· Decorative storage boxes or bins can help make a closet feel more organized. You can keep things where they are, just tidy up.
· If all else fails, put things in white kitchen trash bags. This is especially good for those closets filled with miscellaneous items. It may sound weird, but the white bags will blend into the walls and won’t feel cluttered. Just stack them neatly.
Happy organizing!
