It started as a content that people watch to help them cope through the worsening global situation at the time. But days passed and all of a sudden, new furnitures are being bought, walls are being painted, and wardrobes are being organized.

Someone who is already used to organizing their home, trying to make it one of the most beautiful houses in the Philippines, knows that there is a science involved in an organize wardrobe. While people can explore and choose what works best for them, there are definitely smart ways people can start to adapt for a more efficient closet organization.

Typically, organizing your closet starts by getting rid of the clutter, acquire your preferred compartments either by building or buying it, and making a space for each type of items in your closet. In the end, it is important to form a sustainable system that works for your personal needs.

Follow these 8 Smart and Easy Ways to an Organized Wardrobe

If you are working on organizing your closet and wondering how to start, you can follow these smart and easy to efficiently arrange items like your clothes, shoes, and accessories in your storage space.

 

1. Declutter

First things first. Downsizing is a smart way to make the process of closet organization so much easier and sustainable moving forward. Committing to regularly purge some of your clothes and more items that eats up available space is a good habit to start and is actually a vital part. Before making any huge changes to your closet like buying a new storage space, it is best to have an inventory of first to know how much space you really need.

In case you are having a difficult time and wonder how to let go of items in your closet, there are techniques available like the Marie Kondo one where you will lay all of your things and determine what sparks joy. This way, you will have more confidence in what you will decide to store or toss. You can also opt to donate items in your closet that you are no longer using for a good amount of time. It makes it easier, the thought of purging will become fulfilling and helpful.

2. Maximize your available space

In the recent years, you might have made multiple attempts to move things around in the home. Adapting to the crisis involved renovating the available space into a home office, a gym, and other areas you need. Now that it is time to face another transition as people slowly go back to the pre-pandemic routine, it might be a good opportunity to reorganize.

People with houses that has a wardrobe or closet space already installed might feel intimidated to start a new closet organization system. Admittedly, it is easy to assume that a pre-installed closet is the only possible choice to store items like your clothes, shoes, and accessories. The truth is, there might be other space in the house that may be used for your closet organization projectlike having your very own walk-in closet in your home.

Luxury houses in the Philippines, like the ones offered by Brittany Corporation, usually have extra rooms that can be utilized for this purpose. Brittany Corporation’s world-class luxury real estate developments are some of the most beautiful houses in the Philippines and are furnished with rooms that are more than enough for the whole family. Experience Brittany living as you live in a luxurious home that caters to what you need.

3. Consider using a clothes rack

If building a walk-in closet seems to be too big of a project, you may try using a clothes rack instead. Investing in a good clothes rack can help you easily arrange your clothing pieces without doing so much work and even multiply the existing closet space you have.

From the clothes rack, it is also easier to grab your frequently used item. Gone is the hassle of not knowing where to put it in, for it to be taken out again in days’ time.

Another option to make the most of your closet is putting a dresser or storage boxes under your hanging space. This will help free up space in your closet and can easily become a simple solution to your divider and storage concerns. And the best part is, this organization hack does not require installation! You can put what you need in the hanging space and this instantly make it easier to neatly arrange your closet.

 

4. Use the wall space

Talking about the use of wall space during the process of closet organization is often disregarded because there is an assumption is that it will make the room look messy. On the contrary, with proper execution, this is a smart way to organize your home.

An example on making good use of your wall space is by using hooks or racks to store jewelry pieces. You can also use the space at the back of the door to hang accessories such as bags, scarves, ties, and belts. As long as the items are well-kept, the wall or the door can be part of your closet organization system.

5. Learn better folding and hanging techniques

Frequently, the storage space is heavily dependent on one’s ability to fold and hang the clothes and accessories. Once you have finished decluttering and already figured out the storage you have, it is time to try new folding and hanging techniques. It is a skill to be able to neatly store your things while being able to maximize the storage available.

Marie Kondo also introduced a great technique to fold clothes into drawers which is worth imitating. Aside from Marie Kondo folding technique, try to give easy access to items that are being used frequently and put away those that are being used less. You can also try storing smaller items like bags into bigger ones to save space.

For items that you won’t be be using for a long time, you can store them using a vacuum seal and put them in a hidden area like the top of your shelf or the back of your closet.

 

6. Invest in your dividers

One away or another, closet organization will cost you something. This includes your time, energy, and sometimes, even money. To personalize your closet organization project, you might need to purchase containers, racks, shelves, or drawers to help you with the habit of always keeping an organize wardrobe.

Dividers can be used to separate the items according to the way you understand them best. If you want to, it can be through the type of clothes such as jeans, blouses, sweaters, and dresses. You can also arrange them by color or by size or bulkiness. Starting to categorize your items will help you to keep having an organize wardrobe.

 

7. Use shelves or racks for shoes

Shoes are known to take up a huge space of your closet so people might find it challenging to neatly store them. If you do not have enough storage space for your footwear, lift them of the floor and try using shoe organizers like pre-built shelves, shoe racks, or stacking bins as a replacement. Placing them below your hanging items to make them look tidier may also work rather than just leaving them on the floor.

8. Put labels

As you rearrange your space towards an organize wardrobe, there is a huge possibility to forget where items have been moved specially if you are living with your family members who do not have any idea about the system you have put in place.

To keep what you have started going, the easy solution is to label everything. This will help people who might be looking for the items you tuck away in storage and also for you who is making a fresh habit to consistently keep an organize wardrobe.

Conclusion

Making home improvements as simple as closet organization is always a good idea. As long as it aligns towards upgrading the quality of life your family has, it should be considered a priority to keep working on. Investing on the family’s comfort and enjoyment will never go wrong. It may be considered a luxury to others but when you have available resources, giving the best to your family is an important value to live by.

Purchasing a luxury real estate property is one of the biggest and most important financial investments you can make. This is why it is important to consider all factors affecting value appreciation that can influence property price. Since real estate is also one of the most stable and safest investments, investors are also looking into purchasing properties that can provide significant returns when they resell.

While the popularity of world class architectural styles and interior design of your home are important, there are other aspects that bear more weight when it comes to the value of your property. In general, real estate brokers primarily assess the price of a property through its size and location, especially if it’s a luxury real estate.

However, there are other factors that can affect its price and the value appreciation including the condition of the property and its accessibility to essential establishments. Real estate appreciation is significant when looking for properties to invest in, since it can indicate the profit you can gain when you invest or resell properties in the market. Property value can increase or decrease depending on different factors.

Value appreciation factors influence the price of your property over time.

What is Value Appreciation?

In real estate, price appreciation is the value of your property and how it increases over time. When you invest in real estate, you should consider its value appreciation and the factors that can affect it. You can control and increase value appreciation when you consider the factors that can influence it. Your possible profit in the future can grow, especially when you sell the property when the demand is high but the supply is low.

 

What are the factors affecting value appreciation of your property?

However, in order to maximize your property’s value, make sure to invest in world class luxury real estate like the ones offered by Brittany Corporation. The properties they offer are some of the most in-demand in the local market due to having great value appreciation factors. Brittany Salesforce, their team of elite sellers, help their clients determine their property’s value appreciation through these nine factors.

 

1. Location

Location is one of the most important factors affecting value appreciation. When looking for a luxury real estate property to purchase, most interested buyers consider the location first. Its proximity to the city can mean that there is high demand in the local real estate market. Most properties in the city have a higher value compared to those that are in provinces.

Prime locations are those that offer exclusivity while still being close to the city or major road networks. However, attractions such as tourist destinations and beautiful views can improve the value of a property too. For example, residential properties in Tagaytay, like Crosswinds Tagaytay developed by Brittany Corporation, have a higher value since the location is a tourist hotspot where there are a lot of popular attractions. Crosswinds Tagaytay is also in high demand since it offers a wonderful view to the residents.

Property location is one of the most essential value appreciation factors to consider.

2. Neighborhood or Community

For interested buyers looking for luxury real estate property, the neighborhood or community is essential, making it one of the most significant value appreciation factors there is. Most buyers look for quiet, private communities that allow them to live a safe and peaceful everyday life. Security is of utmost importance when searching for the perfect home especially for those who have a family.

You can also experience Brittany living, by purchasing a property within a community that has luxurious amenities. For an upscale house, gated communities with parks inside are popular and can significantly improve value appreciation. Condos, on the other hand, can increase in value when the building provides in-demand amenities such as gyms and swimming pools.

3. Accessibility

Accessibility of your property to essential establishments such as hospitals, market, school, city hall, and even tourist attractions can affect its value exponentially. The most in-demand properties are those that are built in prime locations and has access to major road networks.

In the real estate market, accessibility of a home can also mean availability of various transportation modes. It is important that your transportation going to and from your home is convenient, especially if you’re looking for properties near your work or your children’s school.

A property's size and livable space can influence its price in the local market.

4. Property Size and Usable Space

The size of your property, including the lot and usable space, are important factors affecting value appreciation that can determine its price. Real estate brokers estimate the price of your property through the lot size. The larger your property is, the higher its price will be.

However, it’s more important to determine the livable spaces such as bedrooms and bathrooms since they can also increase the value of your property. Livable spaces are considered to be rooms that you can use for activities. For example, in a luxury real estate, there can be a garage, attics, and patios. However, these are not considered livable spaces, therefore, they are not included in assessing how large the livable space in your home is. In general, a property that has numerous rooms or livable spaces are sold at a higher price.

5. Age and Condition

Properties in great condition and are well-kept can be estimated to have a higher value especially if you resell them. The age of a property can also influence its price. In real estate, new developments tend to have a higher price appreciation since they haven’t been lived in for too long.

However, there are also other properties that can increase in value due to their age, especially if they have significant history. If you’re looking for newly developed luxury real estate, you can always reach out to the elite team of Brittany Salesforce to help you find the home of your dreams.

Modern features such as home automation systems increase a property's value.

6. Home Features and Upgrades

One of the most important value appreciation factors that can determine property prices are home features. Modern installments such as automation systems can increase a home’s value due to their added benefit of improving the quality of life in a home. Brittany living also allows you to live a luxurious life of comfort and ease with their modern features that are designed for convenience. Property value can also be affected by upgrades in the interior design or features that are considered luxurious or unique.

7. Renovations and Development Potential

Luxury real estate properties that have undergone renovations can also fetch a higher price in the local market. This is even more true if the property has improved in regards to its appearance and functions. Renovations often change the facet of a property, which can make it even more appealing to interested buyers. Moreover, the potential of a property to be upgraded or developed further in the future also affects price appreciation.

Renovations that improve the appearance and functions of a home increase its value.

8. Market and Economic Factors

The condition of the market and the economy has a huge effect on the value of a property. The supply and demand is one of the primary value appreciation factors that influence property price. More than this, the fluctuation in the market due to the ever-changing economy can also affect the value of a real estate property.

There are other economic factors that can increase or decrease a home’s value. While the luxury real estate market has always been stable, it can still grow in the future with the demand rising, which means that the price will also grow. Interest rates also influence value appreciation since it hinges on the current properties available in the local market.

9. Property Developer’s Reputation

When it comes to real estate, the reputation of the property developer matters a lot. It can indicate the quality of a home construction and its interior design. Pioneer homebuilder of luxury houses in the Philippines, Brittany Corporation, is known for their world class real estate properties.

They are dominating the market for luxury real estate with their properties that have thematic appeal especially for their elite market. Moreover, Brittany Salesforce, their team of skilled real estate brokers continue to provide exemplary service to their loyal clientele, making their properties even more in demand in the real estate market.

With world class themes and design, you can experience Brittany living as well and see why your property’s value appreciation is high.

In sports, cycling is considered a competitive physical activity. But for recreation and exercise purposes, riding on the bicycle can be considered low-impact among recreational activities out there. People with busy schedules can engage in this activity since it is also a mode of transportation that can be fitted into one’s daily routine to get access to nearby places like school, work, market, and the others.

To bask in the therapeutic wonders of nature is a luxury that many of us have been deprived of since the global pandemic erupted. How about we tell you that there’s a way for you to experience being close to nature again within the comfort of your own home in Santa Rosa Laguna through Georgia Club?

An ideal house and lot property is one that is closest to nature.

How did the pandemic change your nature connectedness?

An outdoor activity is not complete without seeing the nature up close. And this means walking through green spaces, feeling the gentle breeze on your face, hearing the leaves rustle and the birds sing, while enjoying the majestic view of trees towering above. All of these are sensations that can bring immense feeling to your being whenever you are away from the hustle and bustle of the city life and close to the nature.

However, due to the everyone’s experience caused by COVID-19 cases, your nature connectedness decreased. You are now forced to bask in the comfort of your own home and an outdoor space not so far from your home instead. As a matter of fact, many of you have tweaked your houses in order to make it lockdown-friendly for you and your families. For sure, you maximized your outdoor spaces by creating public areas where you can hang out and play. Some of you grow healthy plants inside your homes and do landscaping. Others decided to maximize their lifestyle by indulging in indoor activities such as reading novels, learning new musical instruments to play, and mastering cooking and baking.

Even the way you do exercising, dining in, and socializing changed due to the impact of the global pandemic. Instead of going to green parks or thematic communities where you can meet our friends, you hang out with them through Zoom or Google Meet.

Outdoor and nature activity participation decreased due to home quarantines and lockdown restrictions.

The Dining Table

For the first thing we need is a dining table! The best dining table for you is the one that perfectly fits in the dining room. Make sure a dining table is not too big or too small.

The Focal Point

If you want your dining room to really stand out, it’s a must to establish a focal point, and that is your dining table. The former United States of America president Ronald Regan once said that “all the great changes in America begins at the dinner table.”

If the dining table is at the center of the dining room, your family and the guests will be more comfortable to take a seat and converse with each other. Once the dining table has been perfectly placed, the rest of the accessories of the focal point will follow. Make sure they complement the dining table for the focal point to really stand out!

 

Furthermore, you have the option to place a carpet.

There are different colors, and you may even mix and match! For example pink and white! Or what about blue and white? You may even blend all the colors! But for a more formal design, it’s best to stick with not-so-bright colors.

 

Essential Lighting

Unknown to the most of us, lighting is one of the most important things to consider in a dining room. In deciding the perfect lighting, there are numerous things to consider, such as the space.

Before purchasing a lighting, you need to have measurements; you can make a list of the dimensions! To make the most out of your dining room, select a light that will compliment your focal point. To make it easy for you, we will tell you different types of lighting.

Chandeliers

The first ones are chandeliers. The Cambridge Dictionary defines a chandelier as  a decorative light that hangs from the ceiling and has several parts like branches for holding bulbs. We created a guide here if your considering investing in chandeliers for your Portofino home.

Back then, chandeliers used to hold candles. Did you know that the chandelier is a symbol of the sun, wealth, and power? Furthermore, these timeless chandeliers truly emit royalty.

 

If you are aiming for a sophisticated and classy vibe for your dining room, you definitely need to get a chandelier. |

 

Sconce

The next type of light on the list is sconce, a wall-mounted lighting fixture that relies on the wall for support. These lights, which are normally aimed upwards, date back to the pre-modern era, when they were used to carry candles and the torches.

Scones in the dining room.

Modern wall sconces are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes, and most of them need an electric light source to be connected within the device. If you want a minimalist, streamlined look go for recessed lighting, which is built into a ceiling, or a wall.

Dining at home is the best

From the Vista Alabang, there are food establishments that you can reach by just walking, or by riding of a bicycle. Indeed, there are numerous restaurants and fastfood chains within the proximity of your Portofino Home, but would it not be better to eat together in your own dining room at home?
