Storing Winter Clothes? This is How to Do it!
Lovely spring is coming, and the end of winter is a good time to think about where you want to store your winter clothing, shoes, and winter sports gear. This way, they stay safe and clean until you need them again. With these tips, storing winter clothing will be a piece of cake.
What You Need
To store your winter clothes effectively, you need a good plan and a few storage boxes and clothing covers. First, let’s take a look at your wardrobe.
The Top Shelves of Your Wardrobe
The top shelves of your wardrobe are the perfect storage space. Place paper storage boxes here with winter clothes that you can fold. This helps materials such as wool to breathe. If you need more space, you can place containers on top of your wardrobe. Use opaque containers so that your room remains calm, and lids so that dust does not get in. Until next winter!
Some great options for storage containers include:
- KVARNVIK Storage box with lid, 32x35x32 cm
- KUGGIS Box with lid, 37x54x21 cm
- TJOG Storage box with lid, 32x31x30 cm
Unexpected Storage Space
There is a sea of potential storage space under your bed to store your winter clothes. A few transparent storage boxes, preferably with wheels, are perfect for storage. Pack the clothes in protective covers. If you also store shoes there, polish them first before putting them in the storage boxes. And don’t forget to put a shoe tree in your most beautiful ones. That way, they stay in good shape. Slide the boxes a little further under your bed, so that you don’t see them.
Some great options for under-bed storage include:
- SAMLA Box with lid, 79x57x18 cm
- SLKT Storage box with castors, 62x62x35 cm
- PANSARTAX Box with castors and lid, 33x33x23.5 cm
Alternative Storage Locations
Also, use your storage room, shed, or attic for your winter gear. Make a combination of transparent boxes and, for example, a clothes rack with clothes covers. This way, everything is also protected against stains, dust, and moisture. Are your boxes opaque? Then label them! Tip: mount hooks or brackets on the wall to give long items, such as skis, a safe place.
Some great options for storage rooms and basements include:
- SKUBB Clothes cover, set of 3
- TURBO Clothes rack, indoor/outdoor, 117×59 cm
