Closets by Chicka

Garage Organizing Season is Upon Us! We spent 8 hours working on these shelves. 2 1/2 car loads of donations, several large bags of trash, boxes filled & ready for chemical drop off, and the recycle bin was completely stuffed!

Mission Complete 🎉🎉🎉

A Huge Mistake I see ALL the time while organizing is the use of the horizontal space, but completely overlooking & forgetting to utilize the vertical space as well.

My Clients: “I don’t have enough space”

Usually there is plenty of space, but only half of it is actually being used.

Vertical storage ideas are a game-changer when it comes to maximizing space and creating an organized, functional home. Especially if you are dealing with limited square footage.

So, try thinking upwards, instead of outwards, by using the wall, corners, or even the ceiling, to help store items efficiently without overcrowding your floor space.

Here are just a couple vertical storage ideas:

Shelving units
Floating shelves
Over-the-door storage
Pegboards
Hang things on the wall
Stackable storage bins
Wall mounted cabinets
Ceiling racks in a garage
Bunk beds in a small bedroom

Your options are simple endless!

Did you know….

The BEST Time to Organize your closet is at the end of a season. For example in October after Spring & Summer and in April after Fall & Winter.

At that point everything is still fresh in your mind and you know exactly what you wore and what you didn’t.

This makes it so much easier to let go of items you no longer Use, Need or Love!

Every single room or space in your home should have a purpose.

Once you have decided exactly what that purpose should be, you will know what should and should not be stored there.

At that point you can remove all the items that do not belong in that space and distribute them around your home, into their appropriate location.

If at anytime during the process, you find something you Do Not Use, Need or Love, then it’s time to let that item(s) go. And if you have to think about it, then you do not need it! 😊
