{ 3 } Store Seasonal Clothes Separately
Most modern people live in countries with very hot summer and very cold freezing winters. The clothes used in summer help to remain cool and withstand the scorching heat of the summer sun. Generally, cotton light materials are used for making most of the summer clothes. People wear cotton shorts and cotton T-shirts in summer. However, with the advent of winter, the cooling summer clothes are no good. In winter, people need woolen sweaters, coats, jackets, gloves, caps and more to keep warm. When there is a change of season, it is best to remove your seasonal clothes from the closet. Store these clothes in separate transparent boxes and keep them elsewhere. As a result of this process, you get to save lots of space for the coming seasonal clothes. Alternatively, you can also use a storage unit to store all your seasonal clothes and more.
