We have all been there before, and I’ve been there many times before: You stand next to your dresser chest, searching for a small item; maybe a sock, maybe a piece of jewelry, perhaps a t-shirt. Before you realize it, you have wasted a lot of time. It can be one of life’s most frustrating experiences.
I remember this one time I wanted to rush to the gym early in the morning for a quick workout. I had found and worn one sock and was looking for its pair. I couldn’t find it. Minutes ticked away. I felt that I was turning into a rage monster while rummaging through the tall dresser chest. I took a deep breath and then went to the gym without wearing socks.
After my workout, I decided that enough was enough. I didn’t want to waste more time looking for things in my dresser chest.
I researched online and decided on a game plan to organize the dresser. Here’s what I did:
1. Empty the dresser
Now, this may sound counter-intuitive. Why would you want to take everything out of the dresser and create more mess when you want to organize it? Trust me; when all the items are laid out in front of you, putting them back into the wide dresser chest will help you organize everything better. According to this blog by Better Homes and Gardens, you can start by categorizing items. For instance, your tops can be organized as t-shirts, tanks, formals, and so on.
2. Choose Your Dresser Space Wisely
This is something I‘m glad I discovered. There was a time when I dumped just about everything in the dresser. I realized that this was only adding to all the mess and confusion. Not all dressers are meant to store everything. For instance, this rustic wood dresser chest features an antique two-tone finish and round knob handles. This dresser is ideal for storing tops, innerwear, socks, and jewelry. You can easily move heavy items such as sweatshirts, jeans, hoodies, and shoes to open shelves for better organization.
3. Assign A Role To Each Drawer
This was one of the easiest steps to take and the most enjoyable, too. Assigning each drawer a specific role or duty makes it easy to find anything in a modern tall drawer chest. This is what I did: I used one drawer for all work-related items, then another for casual items, one drawer for workout clothes, and another for party wear. I no longer waste time in finding my favorite pair of workout socks, or my favorite party dress for that matter.
4. Eliminate Layers
Lastly, this piece remains one of the best tips I ever got online. When you can view everything in a particular drawer in just one look, you can find anything in an instant. The point here is to organize your things so that they stand out rather than hide. You can either roll clothes and place them in a row, or you can use dividers for easy access.
