Closets and Wardrobes

Having looked at a few new houses recently one thing that is clear is that finally closets or wardrobes are getting bigger even too big in a couple of instances (though more shopping could assist with that problem no doubt!). If you are like most of us I could probably sort mine out daily and it still wouldn't be ideal.

As well fitted out as it is we still struggle to keep everything neat. I have found some great looking closets from BHG (see above and below) and thought I would share these with you. Some simple ideas from well placed hooks to well stored shoes with one heel in one out, this all makes for an organised easy to use space. For the rest of us probably a big throw out is the answer. Do we really need 6 black jackets that all look pretty similar. What I would like to find is a brilliant way to store scarves. I have found a scarf hanger in Ikea which is part way effective for some scarves but I am still looking for the ultimate storage system. I have well over 50 scarves, several classic silk squares over 20 years old and as a scarf designer these days the number of scarves will continue to grow so help is required. I couldn't possibly part with any of them as I wear them all occasionally and they are all so beautiful in their own ways. My philiosophy is they make your outfit along with other accessories such as bags, shoes and jewellery, with great accessories a plain inexpensive T'shirt and pants can look amazing. Accessories are King and that goes for our home too with regards to objets, collections and of course my favourite cushions.

And below is my favourite, somehow all white makes it easier to see things, agree?

 Happy sorting, it is wonderful therapy and like all de-cluttering it does help clear the mind. The change of seasons is a great time to achieve some new space in your wardrobe. Have a great weekend.
