With fall fully upon us and winter not too far around the corner, ensuring you have the right clothing set up for the cooler parts of the year is important - but so is confirming storage space for your changing wardrobe. In particular, there are several fall essentials that should be considered when it comes to simple, convenient storage over the next few months, and even on into winter.
At Precision Closets & Garage, we're happy to assist clients around Salt Lake City and Park City with all their storage needs, including important fall areas like mudroom storage, pantry storage and more. Here are some examples of fall clothing and related essentials around the home, plus how to consider storage for each of them.
As the weather cools down, boots and heavier shoes come out in full force. This is especially true for those who live in areas with significant snowfall - you need a solid pair of boots to get through the winters here.
When it comes to boot storage, the first consideration is making sure you have enough room for them. If your closet is already packed full, consider investing in a hanging shoe organizer or an over-the-door shoe rack to keep your boots organized and easily accessible. For those with a mudroom or entryway area, a boot tray or mat can also help keep dirty shoes contained.
You should also be mindful of how you store your boots. Stuffing them with tissue paper or using boot shapers can help maintain their shape and prevent creases from forming.
Another common fall and winter clothing category is jackets and sweaters. While they're essential for keeping us warm, they can also take up a lot of space if not stored properly.
Consider investing in some slimline hangers to hang your jackets and sweaters - this will help keep them organized and prevent overcrowding on your closet rod. You can also fold heavier sweaters and stack them on shelves or in drawers if you have the space.
You also might consider double-hanging rods, which allow you to utilize all the vertical space in your closet for hanging items. This can be especially helpful if you have a lot of long jackets or coats.
As the weather gets colder, accessories like scarves, hats and gloves become essential for keeping warm. But these small items can easily get lost or cluttered if not properly stored.
A simple solution is to designate a specific drawer or organizer for your scarves, hats and gloves. You can also use hanging shelves or hooks in your closet to keep these items easily accessible. If you have a lot of scarves, you can also roll them up and store them in a decorative basket or bin on a shelf - not only will this save space, but it can also add a touch of style to your closet.
Another fall and winter clothing item that can take up a lot of space is long pants, especially if you live in an area with colder temperatures and need snow pants. Hanging them on hangers may not be the best solution, as they can easily slip off or create clutter.
Consider investing in a pant rack for your closet - this will allow you to hang multiple pairs of pants on one hanger, saving space and keeping them organized. Another option is to fold your pants and store them in a drawer or on shelves - just make sure to stack them neatly so they don't create a mess.
As the temperature drops, many people bring out extra blankets and comforters for warmth. But where do you store these bulky items during the warmer months?
One solution is to invest in vacuum-sealed storage bags - these will compress your blankets and comforters down to a much smaller size, saving valuable closet or under-bed space. You can also use decorative baskets or bins on shelves for storing these items.
