How to Organize Your Closet

 

For most of us, there's a lot of clutter in our closets. It's hard to keep on top of what you have and what you need. But the truth is that it doesn't have to be complicated we can just categorize everything into different sections to make sure we're getting the most out of each item.

Section One: Outerwear and Coats

Section Two: Tops

Section Three: Bottoms (skirts/pants)

Section Four: Shoes and Accessories

Set Up a System

·         Don't overthink it

·         Make sure you can easily see what's in your closet and get to it when you need something

·         Keep items together, for example, all of your shirts should be together on one shelf, then all of your pants, then all of the shoes, etc...

Organize by Type

·         Organize by type. A good place to start is by grouping similar items together. For example, if you have a lot of tops, group them together in one section of your closet.

·         Organize by color. If you're someone who has multiple colors of the same item (like jeans or shirts), then it's helpful to organize those similarly as well so that they're easy to find when you need them.

·         Organize by size and seasonality. When it comes to organizing your clothing, size is a big factor if an article of clothing doesn't fit well or at all, it can be difficult to find someone who wants it! Seasonality works similarly: if an item isn't going to get used until wintertime arrives again next year, there's no point in keeping it out where everyone else can see it now!

Store Items by Size and Color

When you're organizing your closet, try to store items together. For example, it's best to hang long-sleeved shirts with other long-sleeved shirts. If you have a lot of small items (like jewelry), consider storing them in boxes or bags so that they're easy to get out of when needed. You can also organize by color and season—that way if you get dressed in the morning and realize that everything you're wearing is red, it'll be easy to find something else without having spent an hour digging through piles of clothes.

Use Every Inch of Space

·         Use the space under your bed.

·         Use the space above your closet.

·         Use the space on the back of your door, if you have one.

·         Use any other available wall space that can be used to hang clothes or shoes (i.e., on top of a dresser).

·         If you have drawers in your dresser, use them, The same goes for closet drawers, cabinets, and nightstands use all available spaces.

Save Your Spot

Once you've got your clothes organized in the closet, you want to make sure that they stay that way. Don't move items around too much if you do this too often, it will be difficult for you to keep track of where everything is. Try not to overpack your closet either as this can cause wrinkles and other damage to your clothes.

Keep things neat and tidy by regularly organizing and checking items off as you wear them. If there are any stains or spots on any clothes, make sure that they are treated before storing them away so that they do not become permanent marks on the garment's fabric.

You might have heard some people say “Oh, I have nothing in my closet” when asked what their favorite pieces of clothing are. In reality (and in fantasy) all of us have far more than just one or two items we'll reach for every time we get dressed - even if it's just because those clothes fit well or look good on us! A good rule of thumb is to keep similar colors/styles together so they don't get mixed up with others; otherwise, try using accessories like scarves to create unique outfits with existing pieces by combining them together into new looks.

Divide and Conquer

·         Divide and Conquer

·         Use the Space You Have

·         Don't Be Afraid to Use Vertical Space

·         Don't Forget About the Back of Your Closet

·         Use Hooks, Hangers & Shelves to Maximize Storage Space

·         Don't Forget About Underbed Storage

Don't Forget the Extras

Don't forget to keep your extras organized.

·         Shoes: If you have a shoe closet, great! You're ahead of the game. If not, no worries; just choose a corner of your bedroom or closet that will fit a rack or shelf for your shoes. If you don't have much floor space in this area (or any other), consider hanging them on the wall like this cleverly designed rack by The Container Store:

·         Bags: Your bags should be stored in another section of your closet where they won't get crushed by other clothes or knocked around as much by kids (or pets). You can place them on shelves, hang them from hooks or rods, or stack them vertically on folded hangers with their handles facing outward...there are lots of options here depending upon how many bags you've got and how much space is available for storing them.

·         Belts: For belts that are more delicate than jeans such as leather ones keep these out of reach from children who might damage them unintentionally. Space-saving options include storing them horizontally inside boxes so there's no risk they'll fall over while being worn (which could cause damage)

Know what to throw away, organize items together, and color code for easy access.

Your closet is the one place in your life that you’re responsible for keeping organized. You might think of it as an easy task, but with all the stuff you have to deal with every day, it can be easy to get overwhelmed by how much there is in there. So how can you make sure that your closet stays clean and organized? Well, we have some tips for you.

·         Organize by item type

This means putting like items together so that they are easier to find when needed. For example, if you find yourself needing just a few pairs of black pants or skirts but cannot remember where they are from the last time they were worn (if ever), then maybe it would be best if all those things lived together in one place instead of hiding throughout various sections of your closet because only one specific item was needed at any given moment before being replaced by another item entirely different from itself even though both may share similar colors or even brands with similar sizing conventions between them. 

Organizing clothing types together as opposed to separating everything into numerous individual categories based on other factors such as size range or material composition (e.g., cotton vs polyester), allows users who already know what type(s) they're looking for simply open up one section rather than searching through several different sections until finding what was desired originally without having wasted precious time searching through each area individually because no matter where someone goes there will always be more than enough room for improvement in our lives due to imperfections being inherent within us human beings despite being created equally perfectible by nature herself.

Conclusion

It's easy to get overwhelmed by the idea of organizing your closet. But if you take it to step by step and follow these tips, you'll be well on your way to an organized space that will save time and make life easier. Plus, there are tons of resources online that can help.
