(NC)—For many, the start of the New Year is a popular time to re-organize and reduce clutter for the year ahead. Closets are an area of the home that often get neglected and where clutter can easily pile up. The storage and organization team at Canadian Tire has the following tips to help create an organized closet.
• Before you get started measure your closet so you know the amount of space you have to work with.
• Choose a closet organization system that is versatile and has many storage possibilities so you can tailor the system to meet your needs. For example, the Debbie Travis closet system has free-standing towers and adjustable components that provide flexibility to customize any space. Choose from one of the two tower widths, then add the components that suit your needs – it's that simple.
• Consider adding storage solutions like a hanging shoe organizer. It will not only free-up floor space, but will also allow you to see your shoes. This organizer can also double as accessory storage for items like baseball hats, purses, belts and much more.
• Use garment bags for formal wear and bulky seasonal clothing, such as suits, dresses and coats. Garment bags help to protect items from mildew and moisture. When choosing a garment bag, look for bags that hold multiple items as a well as those made of clear fabric to help to quickly identify and differentiate special items in your closet.
• Decorative boxes and patterned canvas totes are also a great way to keep items out of the way and reduce clutter in your closet. To maximize impact, use several boxes of the same colour or style and line them up in a row on the top shelf of your closet. Storage totes, like the Debbie Travis patterned canvas totes, not only provide extra room to store things, they also have a label holder so contents can be easily identified and accessed when needed.
