Spaces like this become dumping grounds for anything and everything!
Ensure each item has its own place. Use boxes and label accordingly.
Piling items on top of each other in drawers means items at the bottom get forgotten, lost and never worn. Hanging space gets cluttered unnecessarily as many items could be folded instead.
A cluttered kitchen cupboard with poorly utilised space means items can be forgotten at the back, going out of date before you’ve had a chance to use them.
