9 mistakes experts say you're making when storing your winter clothes
"Rotating seasonal clothing throughout the year can make even a small closet feel significantly larger and more functional," says Najah Ayoub, chief marketing officer of Piece of Cake Moving and Storage. Not only does this help you better see and access your weather-appropriate clothing, says Cathy Orr, cofounder of The Uncluttered Life, but it can also "free up 30% to 50% of your closet."
But seasonal storage isn't just an organizing hack. "Storage should be treated as part of garment care, not simply a way to free up closet space," says Holly Gardner, founder of fabric care brand byMATTER. "The condition a garment is stored in largely determines the condition you'll find it in six months later."
