RV closets and storage. There never seems to be enough of it. When downsizing and downsizing again, it’s easy to talk yourself in to keeping excessive items that accumulate. Like shoes you haven’t worn in over a year… or collection of ballcaps or more socks that won’t quite fit in a drawer. So, instead of downsizing, how do you maximize closet space?
Organizing shoe clutter
Shoes tend to clutter floor space, especially at the front entrance. Whether its inside shoes versus outside shoes or sneakers for going to the gym, hiking or walking, they accumulate quickly. If I’m like most people, I don’t readily pick up the shoes I just shed and carry them directly to the closet or shoe rack. I tend to shove them under the captain’s chairs out of the way of foot traffic. But it doesn’t take long for two people to accumulate five pairs vying for floor space around the driver’s foot pedal area.
Hidden gems
We still carry those “good” shoes we keep for special occasions. But do we really take note of accumulation? One friend lives by this rule, “If I buy a pair of shoes, I discard a pair.” Wow! She’s disciplined. I’m not so much.
Uttering sense
If you utter aloud, “Do I really need these shoes or these caps or….these whatever’s that we’ve been toting for months, if not years,” would it incite a decision to downsize or restructure your closet space? Maybe. So, before you feel obliged to discard, consider these canvas cubbies for shoes, caps, socks, gloves, scarves or whatever may fit and attach them to the empty space in your closet. Dimensions are 27”H x 17”W x 7” deep. They’ve come to help us keep those probationary items still on our discard list.
