For those with limited storage

[Deleted]

Where do you usually store your off-season clothes (jackets, boots, hats/mittens)? We live in a tiny apartment with limited closet space and I'd like to at least get it out of the way. Have you tried those space bags? Keeping it in your trunk?

Any tips would be appreciated!

Space bags are a good idea, and then under the bed, preferably.

Under the bed, in boxes stacked on our closet shelf.

Unfortunately we don't have in-unit laundry. We have one large closet in the entryway and a small one in the bedroom. Our building was built in the 20s when people had a lot less stuff!

Tubs under the bed. Where do you put your suitcases? Some people pack them full of off season clothes.

We lived in a 40's house for the last year, and had no coat closet, and one tiny bedroom closet. We mostly just got rid of a lot of clothes.

Yep!

When I lived in my tiny apartment, I used the dry cleaner's off season storage/cleaning box service for my winter stuff.

Growing up my mom always had a cedar chest that fascinated me... there was always such cool things in there. Ours was very plain (probably from the 60s) but now they have them that are more decorative and like a piece of real furniture. Maybe that's an idea?

I usually keep the suitcases in my trunk-- that might be a good idea!

I use the space bags and put them under my bed.

We have a tiny bedroom closet and an even smaller linen closet and that's it, so I feel your pain. We use space bags and store out of season clothes under the bed.

Look into something like this: www.walmart.com/ip/Adjustable-Bed-Risers/5148131

It will give you extra space under the bed.

Storage furniture is your friend. Trunks as coffee tables. Baskets under end tables. And Go as vertical as you can.

Thanks everyone! I just went out and got some space bags-- holy crap they are cool.
