Compact storage of blankets and pillows: 2 easy ways

Volumetric blankets and pillows cause a lot of trouble, especially if they are not used, but only interfere and take up space in the closet. If you throw it away or give it away is not an option, then just try to fold the blanket and pillows compactly. We reveal two simple ways to do this.

Method 1: vacuum bags

A great tool for storing different things is a vacuum bag. It is made of transparent material and equipped with an opening with a valve through which excess air is squeezed out. The valve is round, which means you can use a vacuum cleaner without a nozzle.

You will be surprised how much less blankets and pillows are placed in the vacuum bag. This is the best way to keep bedding compact. Fold the vacuum bags in a cabinet in a stack, and if necessary - remove the item that you need. A transparent bag allows you to quickly find it.

Method 2: turn the blanket into a pillow

A large blanket, even when folded, may crumble from the slightest movement. To keep your accessories compact, use the following life hack: turn it into a pillow! The method is suitable even for double downy varieties. Once you learn - and storage will no longer be inconvenient.

How to fold the blanket compactly and quickly:

1. We bend the product from the short side by about a quarter (the gate looks down).
2. Now we visually determine where the center line on our belongings passes.
3. Fold on the long side half of the blanket to the center (upstairs).
4. We throw the remaining half on it.
5. Now roll up the blanket from the uncomplicated end. Three revolutions is enough.
6. It remains to unscrew the formed pocket from one edge and carefully tuck the other side of the blanket into it. Done! It turned out not only compact, but also very beautiful.

purityis.decorexpro.com/en/ magazine invented the use of a comforter folded this way: when you need a guest or sofa cushion, just place it in a suitable pillowcase.

By the way, a plaid folded in this way can be presented as a gift without special packaging.

And if there is absolutely no space in the cabinets, then it makes sense to leave blankets and pillows that are not used right on the bed. They will become part of the design of the room (such a technique was used in the villages, and many remember lush, rich beds with a heap of blankets). Add a wide plaid and some decorative pillows, and place it all a bit casually to create a feeling of coziness, freedom and comfort.
