Closet Organization Tips
Hold your own twice-a-year fashion show…one for Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter. Clear out the closet completely, then try on each piece of clothing in front of a full-length mirror. Ask yourself…Does it fit? Does it make me feel good about myself? Is it figure flattering? Does it need cleaning, mending or altering? Separate pieces into four piles: Keep, Alter, Donate, and Toss. Our golden rule of closet organizing: If you haven’t worn it in a year, toss it. And, if it’s doesn’t fit you well, it’s time to get rid of it!
Tip 2: Pick the Right Hanger
Toss mismatched hangers. Bulky hangers take up space and hangers from the dry cleaners are hard on your clothes. Try the velvet Slim Line Hangers. You save up to 90% of storage space by using these hangers. Toss plastic dry cleaning bags as well. They don’t allow fabrics to breathe and trap cleaning chemicals in your clothing.
Tip 3: Hang It Up
Organize clothing by category – blouses, pants, skirts, dresses. For example, group your shirts by sleeveless, short and long sleeve. Then, organize by color within each group. Once you’ve worn an item, turn the hanger the opposite way. At the end of the season, you’ll be able to tell which clothing items you haven’t worn. This will help with the seasonally closet clean out. Put out-of-season clothing in a separate space by rotating your spring/summer clothes with your fall/winter clothes.
Tip 4: Shoes
Keep the shoes you wear all the time accessible on shelves if you have the room. You can also hang shoe racks on the back of your closet door. Store seasonal and special occasion shoes in easy-to-see clear plastic boxes on the top shelf of your closet. You can attach a picture of the shoes to the front of the box for easy visibility.
Tip 5: Accessories
Clever pocket-filled shoe holders can be used for more than just footwear. Use these pockets to store tights, leggings, socks and other small foldable extras. Use clear double-sided hanging organizers to store jewelry. Store bags, belts and scarves in plain sight on hooks or racks, which can be attached to the inside of your closet door. Belt hangers with multiple hooks are also great for hanging camisoles or scarves.
Tip 6: Folded Items
Sort sweaters and t-shirts by color as well. Always remove sweaters from hangers and fold them as hangers will ruin the shape of sweaters over time. Place heavier items on the bottom of the pile and store lighter ones on top. Store sweaters on shelves in small stacks or store them in sweater boxes with marked labels.
Tip 7: Eye Level
Keep items you wear frequently at eye level and items you rarely wear higher up top. Mount a hook outside your closet and use it to hang up your chosen outfit you select the night before. This makes getting dressed in the morning easy!
