Winter is here! It's time to pack away those beloved summer garments for another year but it can be hard knowing where to store your seasonal items when you're not going to need them for a while, especially when space is at a premium.
In this article, we'll highlight our top storage and bedroom organisation ideas to help you prepare for the winter months.
Space-saving
Firstly, it's time to make space in your wardrobe for those bulky knits and thick layers. Remove any summer clothes from their hangers and use vacuum bags to store them. This handy tip allows you to shrink down your belongings and make them more manageable to store.
These space-saving bags can be reused and repurposed time and time again and are excellent if you're packing for a holiday. While your clothes may come out a little wrinkly, the space you produce for your winter wardrobe is certainly worth it. Once vacuumed, simply store them away in a box or bag and pop them under your bed or on top of your wardrobe, ready for use next year.
Storage bags
Clothes storage bags are an excellent way to keep your items neat and tidy while protecting them from dust. If you're short on storage units for your bedroom, you can use these bags to house your clothes while you're not using them.
If space is tight, you can purchase storage bags that match the aesthetic of your room so you can easily have them on display. They're also portable and lightweight, meaning they're great for transporting your seasonal clothes wherever you need them.
Under-bed boxes
The space under your bed is often forgotten about but it can act as the perfect place to store your seasonal clothes and summer duvet. You must ensure it doesn't get too messy here, though, as this can cause chaos and you may struggle to find what you're looking for when the time comes to retrieve things.
That's why we recommend using storage boxes to keep this under-bed space as organised as possible. You can label each box so you know exactly what is stored where then, when you desperately need that pair of jeans you've been looking for, you can simply pull out the box and find what you're looking for with ease.
Use fitted furniture
There's nothing quite like built-in bedroom storage to make your room look in order. Fitted wardrobes can be made bespoke to fit the exact dimensions of your bedroom, utilising every inch of space.
With fitted wardrobes, you can choose as many storage compartments as you need so that everything has a home. They're a superb way of keeping your bedroom free of clutter while maximising the space you have available.
Transform your room and create a calm, orderly environment that you enjoy coming home to. Each made-to-measure storage solution will be unique to your preferences, from style and finish to colour and interior.
Blanket boxes
If you find yourself lacking suitable storage, keeping a blanket box or a stylish ottoman at the end of your bed can be a functional solution. These can store those items that you don't tend to reach for but you'd like easy access to if needed.
Small trunks and blanket boxes can also double up as a side table if you're short on space. They're often stackable, too, so you're not restricted to just one box. You'll find many colours and designs available to suit your room's existing interior.
