You may or may not have enough space to stop your clothes or put the ones which are the gorgeous ones on display. With the changing weathers in our country, we need to store certain clothes till winter comes and revive them once the cold hits the floor. Let’s see a few ideas to store clothes when that happens.

3.4. Space Under the Bed:
There are no monsters there, we promise, just some hidden space that comes handy when it comes to storing things that are otherwise not needed and too precious to throw away. You can even store your seasonal shoes there to protect them from dirt and moisture, those once-in-a-blue-moon dresses that only come out to play when there is a party in town and clothes that you know your summer body will ‘definitely’ fit into. The space under the bed is a vast voyage that sometimes takes you on a journey, it sure does take time to clean that mess up when the sun is in full bloom and you need your comfy college tee shirts which have now faded.

3.5. Up, Up, and Away:
Another way to add more space in your wardrobe is by hanging clothes from the top of the wardrobe in layers. Tie a rope along the hanging rod and then add another rod to it for those jeans or trousers that couldn’t make way in the first lot and were put on a wait-list in to make way into the closet.
