Home: How a seasonal wardrobe flip gives you more space

The seasonal storage solution for space-strapped homes is wardrobe flipping, writes Carol O’Callaghan

High shelves and tops of wardrobes can be used to store containers with out of season clothes and shoes.

Hardcore declutterers who watched Netflix’s The Minimalists: Less Is More, will remember the 90/90 rule where you pick an item and ask yourself, have you used it in the last 90 days? If not, will you use it in the next 90? If not, then let it go. It’s a good one to apply to your wardrobe as the seasons change, saying goodbye to clothes unworn long-term.

Lauryn McLoughlin, owner of cleaning and home organising company The Dust Fairies, says:  “We think we will wear it at some stage to some occasion, or we think we will fit into it again, or that it will come back into fashion. The problem with this is a lot of the time we don’t have room for all of the clothes which means you don’t wear most of it because you can’t access it or even see it.”
