Question
What is Hilary Erickson's definitive guide to organizing a baby's closet?
Answer
Sure, I'd be happy to share some of my top tips for organizing a baby's closet:
-
Understand Baby Clothes: They don't take much space, babies grow out of them quickly, and the best way to store them is what works for you. You can fold, hang, or even toss them in a bin.
-
Organizing Options: There are many ways to organize a baby's closet. You can use dresser drawers, storage bins, or even the closet rod.
-
Dresser Drawers: Sometimes, the closet space is best used by putting drawers into it. You can use cheap plastic drawers, put an actual dresser into the closet, or install an expandable closet organizer.
-
Storage Bins: These are an important part of any baby organization. They allow you to find specific items that you need at that time.
-
Closet Rod: Your closet rod can hold many items, but you'll have to re-put all those items back on tiny little hangers, which can be annoying.
-
Small Nursery Closet: If you only have a small space for baby's clothes, use a bit of your rod to hang up new clothes, use bins to sort baby clothes, and put items under the bassinet or wherever baby sleeps.
-
Closet Door: The closet door can be super helpful! You can use it for a lot of things like storing baby care items, socks, shoes, and more.
Remember, as your baby grows, and the more you use the room you might have better ideas on how to organize things, so don't be afraid to switch and adjust things up as you use the space more!
