How to fold bedding compactly?

There is not always enough space in the closets to store all the things we need, so it is very important to save space. You can start with bed linen, because, as a rule, in our houses there are a lot of voluminous 2-bedroom sets that take up quite a lot of space. There are several ways to solve the problem, while adding everything nicely.

Mari Kondo is a Japanese writer and home tidying specialist. She has created a very interesting and unusual method to save space in the closet. This method is more suitable for those who have few bedding sets at home. First, you need to prepare the storage space itself, free it of unnecessary items and throw away everything that you will not need in the future.

Here are the principles of this method.

• Everything should be compact and tightly folded. This principle is always used by the Japanese in their apartments. Since their houses are so small, every centimeter counts.

• All things should be visible. If you follow this requirement, when you open drawers and cabinets, you will immediately see the things you are looking for. In this case, you do not have to rummage through a pile of bedding items to find just one pillowcase.

• Things should be easily accessible, while not disturbing the order in the storage area. Everything will remain in its original form, and nothing will have to be corrected if it is necessary to get the things that lie at the very bottom. This is the ideal property of such a method, which will appeal to those who do not like to waste their time cleaning and maintaining cleanliness.

• Uses vertical storage. This adds convenience and supports all of the principles above.Perhaps this solution will be very unusual at first, but you will soon realize that it is much more convenient than standard horizontal storage.

Let's list the steps to follow this method.

• It is necessary to prepare shelves or boxes for storing things in them.

• The kits should be divided into components. Pillowcases, sheets and duvet covers should be kept separately.

• Folded items are placed on the shelves using the principles of this method. It is very important that when you decide to get something, you do not need to use adjacent piles or cells.

This method is suitable for those who have a large number of bedding sets. If you add everything separately, then the whole process takes a lot of time and effort. But thanks to this method, all the components of the kit will look nice and tidy, and also be stored together. Therefore, the necessary items can be easily found, nothing will be lost, and it will take very little time. In order for everything to work out correctly, you need to perform simple steps.

1. Fold all the components very evenly, corner to corner. This rule will help make the fit of objects tighter. And this significantly reduces the space occupied by items in storage.

2. Then fold it in a tight pile, and place it all in a pillowcase.

There are many other ways of folding bed linen, which are suitable for different types of sets (double, euro, one and a half, and so on). They are comfortable and beautiful. Any of these methods can be used in a variety of storage locations. For example, a wardrobe, chest of drawers or a suitcase. Even on a trip, you can pack your things this way.

This method is suitable for lovers of aesthetics. After all, it is not only comfortable, but also beautiful. Things folded in this way sit well on the shelf and are easy to pull out. Such storage even resembles a gift or an envelope brought by the morning mail.

Let's take a look at what needs to be done for this package.

1. Stack the kit carefully. Exactly how we usually fold bedding sets.

2. Tie with a satin ribbon or decorative string. This adds aesthetics to the storage method. Ribbons are associated with something delicate and beautiful, light and airy. This is the effect that bed linen should have. It is also very easy to find ribbons or decorative rope in any local store.

This method is rather unusual for us. However, it is very convenient. The main storage principle is verticality. Fold the laundry as usual, then just turn it over. So in the closet you can really create a "bookshelf".

This method is for bedding sets in which the sheet is fitted with an elastic band. Such kits are very practical, but not everyone knows how to store them compactly and beautifully. To fold such a sheet, you must follow the instructions below step by step:

1. spread the sheet all over the bed so that there are no irregularities;

2. join the two corners of one side together, the top and bottom;

3. the third corner must be placed between the two previous ones;

4. the last corner must be folded with the others so that a rectangle is obtained;

5. now such a sheet can be folded into a closet or additionally rolled up and tied with a decorative string or ribbon.

There are several rules for storing bed linen that should be followed. They will help keep the kits fresh and smelling good until next time you use them. These rules are very simple, so anyone can easily follow them.

Do not store laundry in a plastic bag. In this case, an unpleasant smell will appear, and it will be completely unpleasant to sleep on such a bed. We'll have to rewash everything. And it's not at all certain that the smell will go away after the first wash. Therefore, in order not to waste a lot of time, just store things in the ways described above.

You can put something fragrant on the shelf with bedding sets. These fragrances are easy to find in stores, or make your own at home. For example, handmade soap with a delicious scent or dried tangerine peel.

Only completely dry bed linen can be put into the closet, otherwise the smell of dampness cannot be avoided. There will be as many worries as if you fold the laundry in polyethylene. It is better to wait a certain amount of time rather than starting the wash cycle from the beginning.

Vacuum bags can be used. This will significantly reduce the space occupied by the laundry, and will not spoil it in any way. They are durable and durable. A to use you only need the package itself, which can be bought in many stores, and a vacuum cleaner.

These boxes are located close to the floor and are usually completely leaky. If you put your bedding in there, then it will collect dust, and if you have a pet, then also wool. The laundry will quickly get dirty, which means it will wear out a lot. Therefore, choose closet shelves or dresser drawers for storage that close tightly.
