Folded clothing and linens in your dresser, wardrobe, and closet organizer drawers tends to become a disorganized mess.<\/p>\n

The standard practice of stacking clothes in these areas is antiquated and doesn\u2019t optimize your bedroom\u2019s storage space.<\/p>\n

The \u201cKonMari Method\u201d of vertical clothes folding from Japanese organizing consultant Marie Kondo changes all of this.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s the best-selling author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Using her clothes folding method, you can keep your drawers organized and gain up to 50% more drawer space<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Traditional clothes drawer storage is outdated and impractical<\/h3>\n

Think about the way your clothes drawers are currently organized.<\/p>\n

Most likely, your items of clothing are just piled on top of one another, meaning you\u2019re likely to end up with messy drawers full of wrinkled clothes after rummaging around trying to find a specific item.<\/p>\n

When your drawers are full, this problem is only compounded.<\/p>\n

The KonMari Method: simple yet effective<\/h3>\n

Kondo\u2019s philosophy is simple: by vertically folding your clothes in a precise manner, you can save lots of space by storing them upright in your drawers and keeping everything much more organized.<\/p>\n

With the KonMari Method, your clothing is folded into a rectangular shape and then compacted or tucked into a tight bundle. This allows them to stand up vertically, much like a file folder in a filing cabinet.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll then gain as much as 50% more drawer space that allows you to create rows of your clothing. Now whenever you want a specific piece of clothing, everything is visible, completely accessible, and much more organized.<\/p>\n

\"vertically<\/p>\n

Vertical folding for your clothes and linens<\/h3>\n

The KonMari Method of vertical folding doesn\u2019t require any extra time to do and can make a world of difference to your drawer space options.<\/p>\n
