Closet Organization
The closet is an essential element of our everyday routine. Our clothing determines how we look and feel and helps give us confidence for the day. An organized closet gives us an idea of clothes we need to buy, wear, or donate. In addition, when you have an organized closet space, you will save time as it is easy to access and identify matching outfits and appropriate clothes for any given function.
As we continue making purchases, our closets may become cluttered and difficult to arrange. At times, it requires an entire closet redesign. The following covers some foolproof hacks for your closet.
Declutter everything from your closet
The best way to start organizing a closet is to begin from scratch. Begin by sorting all of your clothes into categories. This method will make it easy for you to compare similar items and get rid of what you no longer need. If you are overwhelmed by the amount of clothes you have, a professional organizer can help you sort through them section by section.
Decide on the clothes to discard, keep, and donate. You may want to bring in a friend or family member for back-up. After deciding on what to keep, it is time to make the necessary adjustments to your closet.
Evaluate and upgrade where necessary
When working with a professional, you will be asked how you like to store your clothing. This is a time when you'll decide which clothes you want to hang and which ones you like stacked and folded. Then, a method of storage will be put into place.
A professional organizer like those at Closets by Design can help you install drawers and extra shelves to improve the space. Shelf dividers help zone the spaces based on the vertical height and bulkiness of the clothes. Wall hooks may come in handy for hanging accessories and jewelry. Hangers allow you to utilize the vertical spaces, and a shoe stacking bin will help organize your shoes.
Label your closet spaces and use efficient hanging and folding methods
Once your closet is better organized, you can keep it that way by using a few techniques. Using tags to label every part of your closet will go a long way in helping you keep the closet neat and organized. In guest rooms, labels also help guests know where to find and store particular items.
Better folding and hanging of clothes helps to free up space and make everything easily accessible. Fold t-shirts with logos and designs facing up, and use a hanging chain for extra hangers. A multilayer pants hanger can help you save additional space, and if you use your closet to store luggage and other bags, be sure to store smaller bags inside oversized bags.
