No Hangers, Drawers or Effort Required

I live alone, and to afford this relative luxury I live in fairly small quarters. Space is at a premium, and storage space at an even greater premium. Now I certainly don’t purport to be the tidiest soul in the universe. No sir. I can clean and tidy when I need to, but I also spend a fairly sizeable chunk of the time (being as it is that I live alone) wallowing in my own filth.

Now if I had a family to clean up after, kids and the like, well… it doesn’t bear thinking about, just the thought of it makes me tired.

So… to the matter of storage space… I have a wardrobe… I have a chest of drawers… I have about a million items of clothing (of which I probably regularly wear about 2%) and something here just doesn’t add up. Now you understand why my studio can be, quite frankly, a tip. What happens is that my floor space becomes not so much ‘space’ but in fact takes on a new role – that of a ‘Floordrobe’ a temporary wrangling area for those clothes worn once, maybe even just for a matter of minutes or seconds, scrutinised in the mirror and discarded perfectly clean (at least for the time being) on the floor until such time as I am hit by a madness of cleaning frenzy, or they get absorbed back into the cycle and worn again passing the test they previously failed by being teamed with something that works, or until the weather becomes either a) too hot, or b) too cold (more likely) that I don’t care what I am wearing.

Useful item, the Floordrobe, doesn’t come flat packed, no assembly required, takes up very little space until full, and always matches the carpet.
Oh wait… it is the carpet.
