How to make the most out of your storage space
Your new BRIMNES drawer has a lot of storage space, but you must know how to use it wisely. Start by emptying the pockets and ironing the garment if necessary. Fold the garment in half, ensuring the seams are aligned and the front and back are fixed and wrinkle-free.
To fold trousers and skirts, lay them on a flat surface and bend the waist down to the middle of the leg. Then bend the leg in half and make sure that the garment is straight and without wrinkles.
Once you have folded all the clothes, please put them in the closet or drawer. Ensure that the clothes are arranged so they are easy to find and not squeezed into the storage space. To save space and keep your garments in good condition, consider using storage boxes and bags to store garments that are not used often.
For narrow spaces, there’s also storage options from Ikea
If you want to make the most of the area in a narrow place, you can use a drawer cabinet with wheels. In this way, you can easily move the furniture and easily access the drawers. First of all, this is a kitchen furniture piece, but you can also adapt it to any space you need.
I’m talking about the FÖRHÖJA cart, which comes in two sizes -“small” and “medium”, priced at $109.99 y $149.99, respectively. Ideal for narrow spaces and easy to move due to the wheels installed in two of the legs.
