Closet organizing ideas and systems


Closet organizing ideas

I find that the closet is the most challenging space to organize, and not just for me but for a lot of people. Let’s change that today with some closet organizing ideas, tips, hacks and systems that will give you peace every time. you open that closet.

My closet space is very limited, but I try to keep the chaos out by organizing on a weekly basis. It is much better to do so that to wait until it is a total mess.

Like any other organization system, the first step is always to take everything out. Do not leave anything in the closet. You’ve got to give it a fresh start.

Once the stuff is out you need to wipe down all the shelves and clean or vacuum the floor.

Practical closet organizing ideas

Sort through your closet contents. We both know that you don’t need the dress that you wore at your homecoming, 10 years ago. If your closet is cluttered with a lot of sentimental stuff, resolve to keep only 5 of them and get rid of the rest (donate to charity, had down to family and friends who will cherish them, or sell them online).

Create designated areas to store specific things in your closet e.g shoes. You may need to invest in some closet organizers to make this process easier for you.

Get rid of the ratty, metal hangers from the dry cleaners. Sort through your remaining clothes and organize them. You can put outfits together or color code everything, starting with whites and gradually progressing through all the colors, darker and darker until you hit blacks.

Put any out of season gear in pretty bins or baskets on your shelf. Line up your shoes neatly. Tossing our any that are in disrepair, don’t fit or give you blisters. In fact, what is the point of keeping a pair of shoes that you never wear because you can’t balance in them? They just take up space.

Stand back and take a moment to admire all your hard work.
