Running out of drawer space? Marie Kondo has a GENIUS way to fold your clothes

God bless Marie Kondo.

She’s a wizard.

If you’re not already enthralled by Marie Kondo’s Netflix show, Tidying Up With Marie Kondo, then firstly you need to binge-watch it ASAP and secondly you need to get stuck into her online lectures which show you how to make the most out of your space and it’s safe to say we’ve been doing the exact opposite up until now.

If you’re like me and your drawers are stuffed to the brim with clothes, so much so that they either don’t close or you don’t see anything you own; well, this hack is about to change your life.

Simple and effective, Marie Kondo shows us how to maximise our storage by folding our clothing neatly and vertically so we see everything in our drawers, storage boxes, you name it.

Firstly, it’s all about decluttering and getting rid of things you know you don’t wear (if you haven’t worn those jeans in two years, the chances are you won’t again etc..)

Secondly, it’s all about the folding method, keeping your clothing neat and visible, like a store, will not only make it easier to find something to wear but, tidying can also alleviate stress and boost endorphins – you can read the study here.

You’ll be hooked in no time.

God bless Marie Kondo.
