How much cedar for a cedar closet?

Question by kabu0648806488: How much cedar for a cedar closet?
I have a large storage area, approx. 500 square feet. My wife wants it all cedar. How much cedar do I need to make it a actual cedar closet/storage that works? Do I need to do all the walls and ceiling or just a sheet here and there?

Best answer:

Answer by noskwik2
Aprox. 1220 sq. feet of cedar would do the walls and ceiling. I did not subtract for a doorway. Just measure your walls and ceiling length x width for sq. ft. If your going to do it, I’d do it all. the ceiling can be anything you want however. They have cedar sheets and also cedar
1/4″ x 4″ planks.

The ABC’s of Cedar Closet Organization

 The ABC’s of Cedar Closet Organization

Image via Wikipedia

A is for assess.  Before you begin to organize your closet, you need to assess your space and your goals.  Do you have enough room for everything you own and more importantly do you wear it?  If the answer to these two questions is yes, then you can skip the step of having to purge and sort your closet contents.  But if you are like most people, there are many items in your closet – uncomfortable shoes or skinny jeans you hope to fit into one day – that can and should go.  Before you begin, decide if you need to just organize or if a de-cluttering session is necessary.

B is for basics.  The next step is to decide how you want to organize your closet.  The possibilities are numerous and you need to find a system that works for you because organizing is about making things easier.  Some suggestions for different closet systems are to sort your clothes by items – group all of the pants together, shirts, sweaters, skirts, and so on; sort by occasion – work, around the house, gym, evening, or other types of clothing you own; or sort by color – you can use this tip in addition to the previous two or on its own.

C is for consistency.  Be brutal with yourself once you have taken the time to organize your closet, make yourself stick to the system you implemented.  You don’t want all of your hard work to be for naught – without a little bit of discipline and consistency your closet could revert back to its former state.  After a couple of weeks of sticking with your new closet management system (whatever one you decide works for you), it will be second nature to put your clothes back where they belong and make it easier for you.

Reduce to Organize your Cedar Closet

Even if you are the neatest person on the planet, if you own too many things for a small closet it will be next to impossible to keep it organized.  If your closet is not big enough for your belongings and there is no money in the budget for a renovation you will have to consider reducing the amount of things stored inside the closet before it can be organized and stay that way.

The first step is to determine if there is anything in your bedroom closet that doesn’t belong there.  Weed out all of the intruders and find a more appropriate home.  If there isn’t a better place to store the item ask yourself when was the last time you used it and when you will be likely to use it again.  If you aren’t sure, maybe it is time that you donate it.

Next take everything else out of your closet so you can start with a clean slate.  Go through every item of clothing, pair of shoes, or other accessories that are stored there.  Create three piles – toss, donate, and keep.  Before you are ready to begin placing things back in the closet have a look at what you have to work with.  Can you install a second hanging bar to double the amount of hanging space you can use?  What about shelving and hooks or the back of the closet door?  Use any and all vertical or horizontal spaces available to you.

Until you can move into a place with a bigger closet, monitor your purchases.  If you don’t have room for it in your closet and don’t need the item maybe you shouldn’t get it.  Or, use the rule that if you bring something home to put into your closet something else has to go to make room for it.

Spring Cleaning for your Cedar Closet

300px ClothingReadyWear Spring Cleaning for your Cedar Closet

Image via Wikipedia

As the snow starts to melt and the birds build their spring-time nests our thoughts turn to cleaning and organizing.  A new season usually means warmer temperatures and our clothing should reflect this climate change but your closet is full of heavy sweaters and wool pants.  Spring cleaning is for more than just your windows take some time to organize and clean out your closet during this time of year to get it ready for the warmer weather.

Instead of having your closet crammed full of a year’s worth of clothing consider storing everything but the current season’s apparel.  Take an inventory of items that can be worn year round and which ones you know you won’t be donning again until the leaves start to turn and pack them away.  Rubber storage bins are convenient, sturdy and long-lasting – perfect for this type of job.  Label the outside of the container with the type of clothing you are storing inside, whose clothes they are, and when the bin should be brought back out (e.g. sleeveless tops, mom, spring/summer).  A tip for younger children, include the age range and sizes of the clothing on the outside.  This can save you the time of pulling out clothes that will no longer fit and they can go right into a donation bin or passed along to a younger sibling.

If you have a cedar closet big enough to hold your entire wardrobe consider rotating your clothes instead.  Just as you would put the food you should eat first at the front of your cupboards or in the fridge, bring the outfits you will wear to the front of your closet.  You can get dry cleaning bags or use garbage bags to cover your out of season clothes so they will stay clean and fresh until you are ready to wear them again.

 Decisions Regarding Your Cedar Closet – What to Keep, Toss, or Donate

Image via Wikipedia

The hardest part for most people when cleaning out their cedar closets is to decide what should go back in.  Most how-to articles advise that if you haven’t worn something within one year it is safe to let it go.  A year seems like a long time to wait and see if you should be keeping it.  Unless it is a seasonal item that can only be worn in the summer or winter, six months is realistic guideline for frequency of use.  If you haven’t put on a pair of jeans in six months for whatever reason, you shouldn’t be making space for them in your newly organized closet.

Now that you have your pile of clothes that you have decided you no longer need, what should you do with them?  The two common places for these items is the trash bag or a donation bin.  How you decide which of the two should receive each item depends on the reason you are giving it up or haven’t worn it. 

You should toss any items that are stained, ripped, worn, or any other flaw that makes the garment unsuitable.  If you can’t abide with the thought of throwing out clothing, consider cutting up shirts for cleaning rags.  You can also cut up denim jeans for patches – decorative or functional.  One of the few places that may take donations of clothing such as this is a nursing home.  If you take the time to cut up the clothing, getting rid of any stains and tears, the fabric could be reused for a quilt.

If the clothing you no longer want or need can still be worn, it can be donated.  Items that fall into this category are pieces that no longer fit, you no longer care for the style or you have too many of the same item.

Everyone is unique and one way of organization isn’t necessarily going to work for all.  Don’t read a how-to book on cedar closet organization and feel that you must follow it to the letter.  With any book of this nature, take from it what makes sense to you and then tailor it to suit your needs or wardrobe as the case is here.  One way is to group all like items together, like your bottoms, tops, and sweaters, or you can group them according to category, work, home, or gym.  Or take combine the two.

If your wardrobe is pretty consistent, meaning most of your clothes fall into one category (whether it is casual, business, or anything else), it might make sense to you to group all like items together.  This method will allow you to pick one item from each grouping and you are ready to go with your outfit for the day.  This gets a bit tricky if your wardrobe serves multiple purposes and it doesn’t make sense to group your track suit with your business suit.

If you fall into the latter category, have a separate section in your closet for your gym wear, casual weekend wear and your work clothes.  Within these sections, you then should group all the pants, tops, etc. together to again make things as easy as possible for you.

Other options for organizing include color coordination – group all of your black items together, blue, brown and so on.  When you are folding your sweaters, make different piles for your heavy sweaters and light-weight sweaters so you can choose based on the weather for the day. 

Choose a system that makes sense and will work for you – one that you are going to be able to maintain for the long-term.

How Organizing a Closet can Help you Shop

shopping for your closet

cedar closet organization

People organize their closets to make life easier.  They want to be able to open the closet door, see all there is to see and be able to make quick choices about what to wear without having to hunt through a mess.  But the process of organizing your closet can help you see the holes in your wardrobe that need to be filled.  As you retire, donate, or store your clothing you are going to get a pretty good idea of what articles of clothing you need to buy.
Keep a pad of paper and a pen handy as you are sorting.  If you notice that your two best white t-shirts really aren’t your best anymore and have decided to either make them into rags or toss them – write down that you need to purchase two white t-shirts.  This will save you some time and a headache the next time you are searching for an item that is no longer in your closet before you remember, “oh yeah, I got rid of that.”  This goes the same for the rest of the things you don’t put back in your closet.

When you are done deciding what to keep and what to toss and have made your list put all of your clothing back in the closet and have another look.  When you have your entire pant collection grouped together, do you see any holes that could be filled?  Maybe you have lots of black dress pants but no casual ones, add that to your list too.  When your list is complete you may not be able to go out and buy everything on it, but it will help you when you are out shopping to decide what you need first.  To that end, keep your list with you at all times.
