Make Your Space Stretch: Design Tips and Tricks from California Closets and Marie Kondo

More closet space is all we ask for, right? Storage space is often limited, especially if you are renters like my husband and I! In order to live in the city, we had to sacrifice living area at our place. This means a tiny closet and not a lot of room outside of said closet to keep our clothing organized. I recently consulted with California Closets to get ideas on how to keep everything we need organized in a tiny apartment!

How They Helped Me

I spoke with Jessica Ballesteros about my tiny apartment space with very little closet room. I mentioned to her that I am a fashion blogger and having enough area for my clothing was hard to come by, especially accessories!

Her first piece of advice was to give the KonMari Method a chance. This means going through my closet and only keeping items that spark joy! Get rid of those that don’t make me smile, feel good, or serve a purpose. The next technique was to incorporate the KonMari Method of folding to my items that are bulging out of their drawers! This involves letting every piece of clothing know that it is wanted, putting it away so that all items can be seen when the drawer is opened. If better, color coordinating the clothing so that items can be found faster and easier.

Jessica’s last bit of advice was to hang things! She mentioned getting hooks for all of my hats so that they could hang beautifully without causing a mess when I grabbed one on the go. She also mentioned hanging items in my closet according to length, then color. Keeping the longer items together and the shorter items together will serve to make the space feel more open. Check out the before and after images of our space from her advice!
