Organize Your Closet

Keeping your closet organized saves time (by being able to grab what you need quickly when you need it) and also saves money (by knowing exactly what you have so not to over purchase). If your closet feels too cluttered or less than optimally organized, here are some tips to organize it into shape:

Weed Out/Purge

If you didn't wear it last season, it's time to let it go. Go through each and every item. This will not only help to know where things are, it will also give a good mental inventory of what you currently have.

Like Items Together

Get T-shirts, pants, dresses, sweaters, etc...together. Having a place for every little thing, and a specific place to always return to is the key to keeping your closet optimally organized.

Hanger Harmony

Changing the hangers so they are all the same creates a much more organized looking closet. Also, eliminating unused hangers will help free up much needed space. Here's our favorite basic hanger.

Seasonal Storage

Not enough space? Consider removing off-season clothes if you're feeling too tight in the current space. Here are some tips for seasonal storage.

Structured Systems

If you really need an overhaul, it might be a good time to consider upgrading to a custom closet system. Having shelving, drawers, double hanging and adjustability truly helps maximize the space.

Color Coordinate

For extra organization, try hanging clothes by color to find items even quicker. Here are more tips on organizing your clothes by color.
