10 tips for wardrobe storage
Once the wardrobe is replanned and the purpose of each area is determined, the next step is to put the clothes in the wardrobe in order, with some tips to expand the storage capacity and create favorable conditions.
Tip 1: Prioritize seasonal clothes in the hanging area

Tip 3: Fold trousers in half and hang
For trouser storage, it is recommended not to fold them into a boxy shape, and also stack them one by one, which is not easy to take, and the pants will have several more creases. It is recommended to adopt a "folding hanging", so that the above shortcomings can be avoided, and each pair of pants can be seen relatively clearly.
A small reminder, use the trouser rack to store your pants, remember that the clothes rail should be at least 60 cm off the ground. Secondly, if you use the practice of clothes rail + hanger, remember that the clothes rail is more than 70 cm away from the bottom of the wardrobe, so as not to cause the trouser tube to fold at the bottom because the distance is not enough, and then wrinkle.
