Folks who are new to the city are inundated with new experiences. They need to learn about the subway<\/a>, they need to get to know their neighborhood<\/a>, and they need to figure out how to fit everything inside their apartment. The apartment storage issue is especially difficult for one major reason: winter clothes. Storing summer clothes is easy. They are usually lighter fabrics and take up less space. Storing winter clothes, however, can be quite challenging, as they are often puffy, long, and folks typically need a lot of them to get through the rough season. So how does a New Yorker store their winter clothes?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n This is the easiest way to get simple storage for winter clothes. Adding shelves and drawers in just the right places can make all the difference in a home. Some of the best storage options include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Bed storage is great because it utilizes a space that usually sits empty. There\u2019s a ton of room under the bed, so why not use it for storing seasonal items? Most storage beds will look like this Japanese Storage Bed<\/a> from Get Laid Beds. This bed style has storage attached to one or both sides of the frame. These beds are great, and usually very sturdy and stylish, but there are plenty of other options out there.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Take this Maynardville Upholstered Bed<\/a> from Wayfair. This bed literally lifts the mattress up from the frame to reveal a huge storage bin, perfect for storing larger, puffy coats, long johns, and other winter apparel. There might even be room for other items, like winter bed sheets, in this large unit. Beds like these are great for adding more storage to a large apartment, which is something that probably almost every New Yorker will face in their life. Of course, if folks already have a bed frame they enjoy, there are plenty of rolling storage drawers<\/a> that will fit right under most beds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Many NYC apartments lack sufficient closet space, and those homes that do have closets usually have small ones. This is where wardrobes come in. Great for hanging jackets, suits, and even think sweaters and pants, a good wardrobe can be a lifesaver when it comes to winter storage. Many people think their homes are too small for wardrobes, but there are plenty on the market that can meet and exceed storage needs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n For example, this Ratta Green Wardrobe<\/a> from Homary is only 70\u201d tall, 31.5\u201d wide, and 20\u201d thick. This means it can fit in nearly any home comfortably, and the style will bring out the rest of the apartment’s d\u00e9cor, especially if there are plants. The main chamber of the wardrobe is tall, perfect for longer, thicker coats, and the bottom drawers are deep, making them great for storing thick sweaters, socks, and much more. It\u2019s a tasteful design with good storage, but rest assured that there are other products like it, each with their own merits. Folks should just make sure to get one with a tall main chamber that\u2019s able to hold coats of any length.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n For those who are low on space, but flush with cash and winter apparel, a storage unit is a great way to store all kinds of things. Most facilities in the city have multiple sized storage units, so people can choose which size will work best for them. There are also many popular storage businesses to choose from like CubeSmart<\/a>, which has many locations throughout the city, with at least one in every borough and even New Jersey.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Another, very popular business is Manhattan Mini Storage<\/a>, which, as the name implies, is a Manhattan based storage company that is perfect for storing seasonal items. These storage lockers work best in Manhattan, where apartments can be especially small compared to places in Queens and Brooklyn. They also have special deals for first time renters and long time customers, so the rent will always be affordable. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAdding Extra Apartment Storage<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
