Elfa drawers on the left in closet free up space in bureausA dresser is a must for all types. But Classics and Funs can and should use them much more liberally than Organics and Smarts. Why? Funs and Classics can and do squirrel things away and know exactly where everything is at a moment’s notice. Not so much with Organics and Smarts. Out of site is out of mind for them and so usually the bottom of the stack doesn’t get touched. So if you can, hang as much as possible. Pants, jeans, even camisoles and thin sweaters. I think I might even start hanging my t-shirts and yoga pants. Those drawers are always a mess.

But if you must use drawers, don’t stack stuff. Fan out your folded clothes in drawers, from front to back, so you can easily see all you have and get to them easily without disassembling the whole tower. And if you want to free up space in your bedroom, Elfa offers drawers that work in the closet. Check ’em out.

Best for Funs & Classics
