### 🧺 4. **Sort by Use — Not Just Type**

Rather than organizing all sweaters in one pile, try grouping by **how often you wear them**.

* Daily wear = front and center
* Dressy or occasional = top shelf or tucked away
* Out-of-season or specialty = sealed and stored

This saves space and **reduces closet chaos** every morning.

### 📦 5. **Bins, Boxes & Baskets (With Labels!)**

Use labeled fabric bins or storage boxes for items like scarves, gloves, and thermal underlayers. These little things clutter fast — but not if each has a “home.”

Stackable bins or baskets on shelves or under beds keep things organized and easy to find.

### 🧴 6. **Declutter Before You Store**

This might sound obvious, but it’s one of the **most powerful space-saving tips**:
**Don’t store what you don’t wear.**

Ask yourself:

* Did I wear this at all last winter?
* Does it still fit or suit my style?
* Is it damaged or stretched beyond repair?

If the answer is “no,” consider donating it. No point in storing air.

### 🪄 7. **Use Slim, Non-Slip Hangers**

Thick plastic or wooden hangers add bulk. Switch to **slim velvet or metal hangers** to instantly free up space — and keep your clothes from slipping off.

For coats and jackets, use sturdy but streamlined hangers to save inches between each piece.

### ✅ Final Thoughts

Running out of room for thick winter clothes is a struggle — but with a little creativity and organization, **you can make space without stress**. These are simple, affordable, and practical tips that any housewife (or househusband!) can apply — even in the smallest apartment.

Whether you’re rolling sweaters, storing jackets in your suitcase, or vacuum-sealing like a pro, remember: It’s not about having a huge closet — it’s about **using the space you have wisely**.
