What to hang
Dress shirts, blazers, dresses, trousers with creases and anything that wrinkles belong on hangers. Hanging also keeps garments visible and ready.
Use slim, matching hangers so they take less space and look tidy.
What to fold
Knit sweaters can stretch on hangers and are better folded. T-shirts and jeans fold well and stack neatly on shelves or in drawers.
File fold, standing the folded item on its edge, so you can see every item in a drawer.
Find your balance
Most people hang about half their clothes and fold the rest. If your closet is short on rod, folding more can free hanging space, and if drawers are scarce, hanging more can help.
A custom layout lets you set the mix that fits how you dress.
