How to pack clothes for long-term storage?

• <div><p>When storing your clothes long-term, first consider the container's breathability. While plastic bags, cardboard boxes, or vacuum sealing may be great options for short-term storage, they won’t help your clothes hold up in the long term. Breathable plastic boxes and fabric bags help with airflow, prevent mold or mildew from building up, and allow proper airflow.</p></div>

Q: What type of wood is best for closet shelves?

• <div><p>Plywood, MDF (medium-density fiberboard), and solid wood are all popular options for closet shelving. Plywood and solid wood are sturdy and ideal for extended shelves or heavy items. MDF is a budget-friendly choice for light to moderate storage, but it can sag under heavy weight if not adequately supported. Wire shelving is another alternative that allows airflow, making it especially useful in humid spaces such as laundry rooms or basements.</p></div>

Q: Are closet remodels worth it?

• <div><p>Closet remodels can add a significant element of luxury to your home and depending on how you remodel, a lot of functionality that may have been missing. People underestimate how much they use their closet and one that lacks storage space or just becomes a room full of random items can benefit from a remodel in almost all cases. There's a vast range of pricing for closet remodels&mdash;they aren't all expensive. </p></div>

Q: What are the average sizes for different types of closets?

• <div><p>Walk-in closets are always the biggest and can easily be more than 100 square feet. Primary bedroom closets, even if not walk-ins, are the second largest category in most homes and sit between 30 and 80 square feet. Linen closets, utility closets, and built-in closets are smaller and, depending on their usage, tend to be between 10 and 50 square feet.</p></div>

Q: Can I build built-in furniture myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible for basic designs. Professional construction ensures precision and high-quality finishes.</p></div>
