Storing winter clothes? This is how to do it!

Lovely: spring is coming. The end of winter is a good time to think about how & where you want to store your winter clothing, shoes and winter sports gear. This way they stay safe and clean until you need them again. With these tips, storing winter clothing will be a piece of cake.

What do you need? A good plan, and a few storage boxes and clothing covers.

Hello wardrobe!

The top shelves of your wardrobe are the perfect storage space. Place paper storage boxes here with winter clothes that you can fold. This helps materials such as wool to breathe. Need more space? Place containers on top of your wardrobe. Use opaque containers so that your room remains calm, and lids so that dust does not get in. Until next winter!

Unexpected storage space

There is a sea of ​​potential storage space under your bed to store your winter clothes. A few transparent storage boxes – preferably with wheels – are perfect for storage. Pack the clothes in protective covers. Do you also store shoes there? Then polish them first before putting them in the storage boxes. And don't forget to put a shoe tree in your most beautiful ones. That way they stay in good shape. Slide the boxes a little further under your bed, so that you don't see them.

Alternative storage locations

Also use your storage room, shed or attic for your winter gear. Make a combination of transparent boxes and for example a clothes rack with clothes covers. This way everything is also protected against stains, dust and moisture. Are your boxes opaque? Then label them!

Tip: mount hooks or brackets on the wall to give long items such as skis a safe place.
