The Secret to Reclaiming Closet Space

January marks the start of new beginnings—a chance to reset our homes and create systems that truly support everyday life. If you’re ready to reclaim space and start the year feeling lighter, vacuum seal bags are a simple place to begin.

We’re sharing our favorite ways to use them (plus our top pick- and a discount! - linked below 👇).

1. Choose the right size for what you’re storing
Before sealing anything up, think about what you’re storing. Jumbo or extra-large bags are perfect for bulky items like comforters, guest bedding, or extra blankets from the holidays. Once sealed, they can slide neatly under a bed or stack easily in a closet—no more overflowing shelves.

2. Tame winter & snow gear
Puffy jackets, snow bibs, and ski gear take up so much space. Vacuum seal bags make it easy to compress a few jackets at a time—perfect for kids’ gear or anything you only need a few months a year.

3. Baby & kids clothes (a must!)
So many families save clothing. Vacuum sealing keeps baby and kids clothes clean, protected, and way more compact. We recommend sorting by size or season—whatever makes it easiest for future you.

4. Always label your bags
This step matters more than you think. Label what’s inside and include sizes (especially for kids’ items). That way you’re not opening bags just to check what’s in them later—set it and forget it.

5. Use vacuum bags for travel
Yes, they make travel-size vacuum seal bags! They’re designed for carry-ons or suitcases and are amazing for bulky clothing. Look for sets with a rechargeable mini pump (our top pick below) so you can save space on the go—no vacuum required.
