Cape Cod is a beautiful place to live, but with that comes the added responsibility of taking care of your home. A critical part of home maintenance is keeping your closets clean and organized. Here are a few tips to help you get started.
Clean out your closets every 6 months (or once per season)
When you have friends and family over, the last thing you want is to search through a messy closet for extra blankets or pillows. That’s why cleaning out your closets every 6 months (or once per season) is essential. This way, you can keep your Cape Cod home looking its best and provide your guests with the best possible experience.
Don’t keep anything you haven’t worn in the past year
I encourage people to get rid of anything they haven’t worn in the past year. Not only will this free up space in your closet, but it will also make it easier to find the clothes you wear. So next time you’re feeling overwhelmed by your closet, remember this tip: If you haven’t worn it in a year, get rid of it!
Group clothes by color and style
By grouping clothes by color and style, you can create a Cape Cod feel in your closet that is both functional and visually appealing. Not only will this make it easier to find what you’re looking for, but it will also help to keep your closet organized and clutter-free. And when your bedroom closet is Cape Cod style, you’ll wake up each morning feeling like you’re on vacation. So go ahead and group your clothes by color and style today—your Cape Cod home will thank you!
Hang or fold clothes instead of stacking them on shelves
If you’re like most people, your closet is probably crammed full of clothes, shoes, and accessories. And chances are, those clothes are just piled up on shelves or hung haphazardly on hangers. But did you know there’s a better way to organize your closet? Cape Cod homeowners have long sworn by the benefits of hanging or folding clothes in their closets instead of stacking them on shelves. Not only does this method save space, but it also keeps clothes from getting wrinkled or musty. In addition, hanging clothes makes it easier to see what you have, so you’re less likely to forget about items that are buried at the back of a drawer. So next time you want to declutter your closet, consider Cape Cod’s favorite organizing method: hang or fold!
Use storage containers to organize your closet
When organizing your closet, storage containers are your best friend. Cape Cod homeowners have long used storage containers to keep their closets tidy and their clothes wrinkle-free. But you don’t have to live on Cape Cod to benefit from storage containers. Whether you’re a renter or a homeowner, using storage containers is a great way to keep your closet organized. Storage containers come in all shapes and sizes, so you can find one that fits your needs. And because they’re clear, you can easily see what’s inside, so you never have to search for that lost sock again. So if you’re looking for a Cape Cod-approved way to organize your closet, look no further than storage containers.
Label everything so you can find what you need quickly
I always label everything in my closet so I can find what I need quickly. I have a labeled bin for summer clothes, winter clothes, and Cape-specific gear like raincoats and snow boots. I also have a labeled box for seasonal decor, so I can easily find holiday decorations or beach towels when I need them. Labeling everything in my closet saves me time and frustration when I’m trying to get dressed for the day or prepare for a party. Plus, it helps to keep my Cape Cod home organized and tidy.
