Organisation

[frazzledmess]

I'm hopefully moving house soon & will have more space. I have far too much stuff so need to clear out but how do people store & organise things like hair stylers, clips, jewellery, sunglasses, etc. I prefer limited dusting!

all my stuff like that go in drawers

Do you have drawers built into wardrobe or do you have a separate unit?

Everything is in a cupboard but organised individually ie. Basket for sunglasses, glass plate with perfumes on, styling appliances in the drawer. I keep those little bags from Chanel/Dior/Lancôme etc and random things like clips and bands etc go in those. Jewellery in jewellery box.

I'd start by reducing it down; how many hair stylers, clips etc do you actually use and need. If you don't reach for it and don't use it week to week then why spend money on storage just to house it.

My jewellery I keep mostly in it's original boxes and in a storage box in the top drawer of my chest of drawers with another storage box for hairbands, clips and brushes. Jewellery I currently have on every day rotation is in a little marble pot (with dividers) and I keep that on my dressing table.
Hair tools wise I have a hairdryer I use every day so that just stays out (albeit in a stand), I use my GHD's for straightening and curling so got rid of everything else. If i want to tidy them away I unplug, use a cord tidy to pack it up and keep in a wicker basket near the plug socket where I use it.

I always think it looks tidier to have things in drawers where possible, and use draw dividers/trays/boxes to separate. Open shelves and clear boxes always look a bit untidy I think.

The best thing I ever did though was just get rid of most of the stuff and now actually use what I have.
