Does anyone else have 'the chair' in their bedroom?

[Teatimeted]

You know, the chair? The chair where worn but not ready to go in the wash clothes go because it feels weird hanging them back up if they're not clean?

Then the pile of clothes gets so big you can no longer see the chair. Then when you crack and de-clothe the chair you find things you'd totally forgotten about?

Or is this just me? Am I the only slovenly one?

I THINK I have the chair. It's in there somewhere. Along with Shergar and Lord Lucan. Must wrestle it out some time.

So what do tidy organised people do with the once-worn clothes that it's the wrong sort of weather or occasion to wear again straight away?

I have 2 very nice hooks on the outside of the shower wall. I hang the clothes there on coat hangers that are kept in the bathroom. Once they’ve aired for a few hours I hang them in a separate part of my wardrobe from my other clothes.

I may also be trying to put together a capsule wardrobe 😳

I've got a shallow wicker basket on top of some drawers that the days clothes go into.

However, there's a small TV in it now to be put away so the clothes are on my dressing table

It's only big enough for 1 outfit which will get worn twice before going to be washed.

I haven't read the whole thread - I have the exact same chair! I am sure it was styled differently in the catalogue because in my home it looks totally different than it did in the shop.

Does anybody know if the 'the chair' is actually comfortable? Has anyone sat on it?

Bed in the spare room is my "chair".

I once left the ironing board up in the lounge. Within the week is was a dumping ground for all sorts of random tat (where did all that stuff go before?? Boggles the mind). Still, was a decent excuse to put off further ironing.......

I used to have the chair until I read somewhere that if it's clean enough to wear again, it's clean enough to put away. Now the chair has random crap that needs to go to another part of the house that I can't be arsed to move.

I also have The Chair.

I only got it 4 months ago as I really liked it for my bedroom. I thought naively that that all I’d use it for would be to sit on and whilst putting my shoes on.

But immediately it was been submerged piles of stuff . Stuff that wasn’t even there before.

I (briefly) cleared it all off the other day and ds was very surprised as he’d just realised there was a chair there at all and asked when I’d got it.

Dh and I both have Chairs. They're not quite a matching pair, but close. They are family heirlooms (my Grandfather recaned them as a craft hobby when he retired), so I would never part with them - though I was rather taken with the clothes ladder that was posted upthread. That would be a better solution, if I wasn't so attached to the Chairs.

Yes I have a 'chairdrobe'

I've had an idea.

I've stuck some command hooks to the inside of the wardrobe doors....outfits that are worn but not dirty can be hung up on there....in the wardrobe but not amongst the clean clean clothes

I have The Rocking-chair! And the floor of my wardrobe. And a few things hanging on the bedposts.

Chair of doom is its name in my house.

We have 2 chairs downstairs (his & hers), they're actually the dining table chairs but as they're the closest to the front door we both hang our jackets, hats, scarves etc. on them at the moment (no space for a coat rack or wall space for hooks) but my husband has a clothes banister upstairs - in the dressing room, 2 feet away from the wardrobes. Drives me crazy!

We have two chairs, but they aren't used as "the chair". Instead we have a cute large door hook thing, it's a contraption that has about 8 hooks. This is where the neither this nor that clothes go. I like it because they are still off the floor and we're not inclined to put anything on it that really should go in the wash, i.e. it's not tempting to be lazy!

DS1 has The Chair (also The Floor, also Under His Bed); DS2 has The Pile At The End of His Bed On Top of a Plastic Storage Box That Probably Has Shoes That Fit Nobody, I Don't Know Because The Pile Never Gets Moved; DH has a posh (not really) wooden clothes hanger sort of thing (it might be called a 'butler'?). I have the top of an entire chest of drawers, and a wooden towel rack that's never seen a towel.

I honestly don't understand people who function without any sort of zone for slightly-worn clothes - do they just wear once and then wash? Wear once and then bin??

Yup I have "the chair", its a tiny kids chair that someone mad me when I was a wee girl, if it wasn't for that I would get rid but then do would just have a bigger pile on the floor!

No, I have a "clirty " basket in bottom of wardrobe, for worn clean clothes that not dirty ! Also good for throwing stuff in when cba putting awat, loungewear etc

Yes, a chair, an armchair and the floor...

I don’t have a chair. I I put my clothes either back in the drawers/wardrobe or in the wash after each wear. My drawers are really bloody messy though!

Yes, I have one too!

You are my people.

Yes, I have a chair pilled high with everything, its hard to move to hoover under because its so heavy. I did it out last year and got a massive bin bag full of clothes for the charity shop.
I've also got 2 baskets full of clothes in front of my tall boy. I had that made because a standard chest of drawers wasn't big enough.

I have a stylish Clothes ladder.

Brilliant. I say its interior design and not laziness

I think a clothes ladder and a clirty basket may revolutionise my life
