Why is proper folding important?
The ancient Chinese art of organizing space feng shui says that a well-groomed and organized closet creates favorable energy in the home, promoting harmony and well-being of its inhabitants. Proper placement and stacking of things in the closet helps keep positive energy flowing and also improves the aesthetics of the space.
However, a neat, organized closet is more than just aesthetically pleasing. Keeping things in order can make your life much easier without much effort. First of all, it affects time saving - you don't have to spend time looking for the right thing if everything is neatly stacked and laid out. Besides, clutter in your closet can be a source of stress, while even the very process of putting things in order has an anti-stress effect. Especially if you are skilled at quickly folding t-shirts, shirts and other closet items.
Benefits of folding t-shirts properly:
- neatly folded items take up less space than those that are just thrown in the closet;
- When things are folded by category and color, it's easier to find what you're looking for;
- neatly folded items give your closet a more aesthetically pleasing look;
- proper folding helps to keep things in perfect condition, preventing them from warping and creasing.
Thus, proper folding of t-shirts in your closet not only saves space, but also helps to improve the overall order and usability of your closet.
