4 Snappy Solutions for Your Shared Apartment’s Overstuffed Closet Space

Sharing a closet with your spouse or other housemates can lead to friction.

Closets are a great way to store items. After all, keeping clutter out of sight won’t help if it starts to spill out from your hasty attempts to shove them under the bed. Your closet typically holds items such as coats, boots, and umbrellas. Plus, maybe some other things you don’t intend to use but want to keep nearby (such as that package you keep meaning to mail to friends). When you live in a studio apartment alone, you probably won’t need bigger closets. But if you have roommates, such a situation gets really messy really fast. 

Swing for Cleverly-Placed Shelving Units 

Well-organized closets are easy on the eyes. Plus, they make it much easier to find what you’re looking for without wanting to scream in frustration. Your small collection of blazers, waistcoats, and slacks will stay as neat as if you had just pressed them. There’s also a neat place for extra bedding items such as blankets and pillows. Grab some storage bags to keep your bulkier coats and jackets in until you need them again.

Put Your Belongings in Different Containers 

Sharing a closet with your spouse or other housemates can lead to friction. That’s why it’s so important to put your belongings in separate containers. For added convenience, label the cubbies. Depending on the dimensions of your apartment’s closet, this might be impractical. That’s why getting more shelving units pays off because you can take advantage of the floor space available in the primary bedroom. Two-part hampers can also help you split up the clothes you wear. Why does this matter? Think about the material of your partner’s clothes. Then think about the fabrics of your clothes. One set can go in the dryer, but what if the other needs to air dry instead? 

Find Savvy Ways to Arrange Your Footwear 

It’s easy to get overwhelmed with the sheer numbers of all the shoes you’ve amassed. Rethink the way you store and display your footwear. That way, matching pairs will stay together. Adjustable shelving and hanging shoe racks solve this problem, so keep that in mind. 

Add Cedarwood to Your Walk-In Closet 

Oh no! There’s an odd and unpleasant smell in your shared closet. But you can eliminate that odor. Experiment with different blends of essential oils that you mix in a spray bottle. They can wipe out that bad smell. You could also use cedarwood furniture since it smells nice and keeps mildew and bugs at bay.
