The Chest Of Drawers: A Tool For Organizing Your Wardrobe

Most of us are closet addicts. We hang up clothes and pack them into our closets like sardines in a tin can. This often means pulling out a shirt or a pair of slacks that look as if they’ve never seen the hot side of an iron. Even permanent press items look wrinkled and creased. Create some storage space in your closet without giving half your clothes to charity by adding a chest of drawers  to your bedroom décor furniture 

While many consider them old-fashioned, a chest of drawers will offer you loads of storage space for more than socks and underwear. You can fold plenty of your good clothes and place then neatly in a drawer. Think about your clothes. Which ones really need to be on hangers and which would do as well if folded and stored in a drawer. Chances are that at least half of the items hanging in your closet would be as well off, if not better off, in a drawer.

Another use for one of these chests is as storage for off-season garments. Winter items that won’t be worn again until late in the autumn season can be washed, pressed and placed in drawers with sachets to keep them fresh. When chilly weather blows in, pull them out, shake them and put them back on their hangers. When they’re out, your summer things go in. This allows you to free up your valuable closet space for the things you are wearing now, not the stuff you’re saving for later.

Whichever method you adopt, a sturdy and good-looking chest of drawers can help create a little breathing room in your overcrowded closet. It will also provide you storage that enables you to organize and keep your clothing in ready-to-wear condition. It’s no wonder they’ve been around forever!
