An Organized Entry
/It was so fun to help a client get started on a hall organizing project this month. Closets can easily get overstuffed, so spring and fall are great times to take another look at what’s hiding in there.
Tips from this entryway makeover:
See what’s really in the closet: the client pulled everything out and sorted the items into different categories.
Clean out the excess: next the client decided what to keep, what to donate.
Use containers: the client used bags and bins (ones she already had!) on the closet’s high shelf to contain the less-used categories, such as helmets, snow shoes, and skates.
Use the vertical space: between the closet and the stairs there was just enough room for the client to add a thin but tall set of cubes with pull out bins. She labeled the bins with the most-used categories of stuff, such as her exercise gear.
She loves her revitalized new entry space and the best part: the whole family is able to find what they need AND put it away.
