I’m trying to to find the balance between having an anti-clutter space for a clearer head versus not being wasteful about over washing things like button shirts or jeans which don’t get used for a large portion of my day.
I used to throw them over my computer chair but I recently moved my computer out of my bedroom.
I think the best option is to hang them up in the closet so they can air out a little more than back in a drawer.
On a dedicated chair set aside just for that
Same! Close to my bed, but not next to my bed.
I love my Clothing and Blanket Chair
The Simone chair.
Funny you should ask. Simone Giertz has a whole project specifically for solving this problem.
Was going to post this if it wasn’t already linked. I watched this when it came out and was highly skeptical right up until the demonstration. It did exactly what she wanted and now I want one too.
Ditto
Bamboo ladder. Before that: the chair.
On the clean cloths chair
I heard someone remark once that “If it’s clean enough to put back on your body, it’s clean enough to be put back” and that changed how I look at things
Although in practice, I either hang stuff up on hooks on the back of my bedroom door, toss things on The Chair, or use half-dirty laundry to cover up the shame of the unused exercise equipment. Old habits are hard to break I guess
“If it’s clean enough to put back on your body, it’s clean enough to be put back”
I think I disagree there, clothes that are clean enough to be worn for another day aren’t necessarily clean enough to be stored over a period of time. Think of it like food; there are leftovers that are probably OK to eat the next day but you would probably would want to treat them separately from your fresh food.
Agreed. Pants that have sat on public benches, chairs, etc. are okay to go sit on more public benches and chairs another day, but them hanging out with clean clothes is not the same thing.
Well, that’s once again changed the way I look at things
Easy come, easy go
On the floor next to my bed, or if I’m feeling less lazy I’ll set it on the dresser next to the bed.
On my clothes chair.
I fold them and set them on a dresser or in a drawer, depending on how soon I’m going to wear them. Shirts I hang up with the hanger facing the “wrong” way to indicate to myself that one’s already been worn once.
I turn the hanger backwards and put them to one side of the closet rack.
The laundry chair ™
On my floordrobe.

I hang them up on one side of the closet
Hang them so the clothes can still air out but keep them separate from the 100% clean clothes e.g. section off part of a closet or use a different closet or rack or anything you can put clothes hangers on.
Hooks on the wall of my closet.
This.
