"I was so excited when I first moved into my current apartment. I was going to get my own office - with a door that closes! - and an enormous closet. So I carefully arranged my possessions in there, but then, I started to store other things. The extra space heaters that weren't being used. Reusable bags I didn't have space for otherwise."
"Prominski's first suggestion was to put the things I rarely use toward the back and in the harder-to-access spaces. That meant shuffling around some shelves so I could fit my yoga ball on the top, and boxing up my portfolio pieces with desiccant (the little "do not eat" packs that keep moisture away from important things). Since those are personal archives that I only access sometimes, they should go on the left side with the yoga ball."
"Next, we tackled my craft projects. I had one open-storage cart for some of my yarn - the IKEA RASKOG cart - and the rest stuffed into a set of plastic drawers. At Prominski's suggestion, I got two more of them and moved all the yarn to open-storage carts. We both agreed yarn looks so much lovelier when it's on display."
A tenant's closet accumulated space heaters, reusable bags, a yoga ball, photo albums, travel bags, and extra shelves until it became a disaster. A certified professional organizer recommended putting rarely used items toward the back and in harder-to-access spaces, moving the yoga ball to top shelves, and boxing portfolio pieces with desiccant. Treasured items were advised to be consolidated on the bottom back of the closet. Additional open-storage carts were recommended for craft supplies, moving yarn from drawers to display carts. Displaying yarn improves aesthetics and access and makes projects easier to find and use.
