It was only a matter of time before the cool winter weather reminded us how ill-prepared most of us are. We all attempt to awkwardly layer up on clothes, wear puffy coats with every outfit, and still rock our summer dresses with stockings underneath —and it never goes according to plan.

The struggle has likely become even more real as you try to figure out how to wear your new jumpers and where to store them now that your wardrobe is chock-full. It’d be great if we could just click our fingers and double the space in our closets—unfortunately, that isn’t an option.

But Kmart mums have discovered a great storage solution that’ll transform your winter wardrobe, and it only costs $23!

The helpful people of the Kmart Hacks & Decor Facebook group did a good deed when they came to the rescue of a member struggling to make room for her winter wardrobe. The member, Manda, took one Kmart member's advice and bought an extra shelving unit to store her jumpers.

Manda purchased the Four Cube Unit in White, just $23 from Kmart, and placed the shelving unit inside her wardrobe, capitalising on the empty space above her hangers and neatly organising and storing her jumpers into each compartment.

Other Storage Solutions:​

If you don’t have room for the cube unit in your wardrobe or are just looking for more ideas, many social media users have provided some nifty storage solutions for your jumpers.

Most of them are great for freeing up hanging space for winter clothes without having to store away your summer pieces. Have a read of some of the suggestions below for more ideas on how to store your jumpers:

• Hanging organisers: Hanging organisers allow jumpers to be neatly hung, preventing wrinkles and preserving their shape.
• Baskets or boxes: Baskets or boxes offer a versatile storage solution for clothes. They can be stacked or placed on shelves, providing easy access and efficient use of space.
• Long storage containers with wheels: Long storage containers with wheels offer the advantage of mobility. They are especially useful for storing bulkier garments or larger collections.
• Felt boxes: Felt boxes provide a soft and protective environment for jumpers. The felt material helps prevent any potential damage or snagging, making it an ideal option for delicate or high-quality jumpers.
• Coat hangers: Coat hangers specifically designed for jumpers often feature wider and rounded shoulders, preventing stretching or distortion of the garment's shape.

As a final piece of advice, one Kmart mum suggested colour-coordinating your jumpers, not having too many piled up, and hanging as many as possible. If you have enough hanging space, you can also separate them—like sorting them by season.

Firstly sort out regular and get rid if those jumpers that you haven't worn during the past 2 winters , if you haven't worn them in 2 seasons guaranteed you probably won't wear them and over filling looks ugly.
