Chances are, you keep some or most of your clothing in drawers. But did you know that there a much more efficient way to fold and store your clothing? It’s called file folding and today we are sharing all the reasons why you’re going to love it as much as we do!!!

Tips on Why You Should File Fold

1. More Space

File folding your clothing creates about 30% more space in your drawers! This allows your clothes to be less crowded and enables you to add more inside if needed.

2. See What You Own

Unlike a drawer with stacks of clothing, file folding allows you to see all of your options just by opening the drawer. Need that favorite shirt? Oh, there it is!!!

3. Wrinkles-less

Okay, maybe not entirely wrinkle-less, but your clothes will retain much less wrinkles than when they’re shoved into a stack with a traditional fold.

4. Organization

It is much easier to keep your drawers organized when you are file-folding. This is because you are setting an intention when folding your clothes this way and placing them in your drawer. Nothing is ever lost or shoved to the back! It also makes it easier to get rid of items that truly aren’t getting worn. If you are able to see a shirt everyday when getting dressed and haven’t grabbed for it in months, then why keep it?

5. It’s pretty!

File folding looks much prettier than traditional fold when opening your drawers. I don’t know about you, but ours mornings set the mood for the entire day and when you open a drawer that is aesthetically pleasing and organized, it is a MAJOR game-changer!
