Do you know what could be more frightening than a wardrobe boogyman? A wardrobe mess, definitely! We know you must be asking yourself, “How best can I properly organize my closet?”
If your closet feels even scarier these days, do not worry. There are infallible organizing tricks to having a neat, fashionable, and affordable “shelter” for your outfits and accessories we want to share with you.
Let’s get right into them.
<strong>1. Start with Decluttering Your Space</strong>
The first thing to do when organizing any space in the home is to unpack and declutter. You remove the old and worn-out clothes to make space for new or essential outfits. Sort out the outfits by dividing them into separate stacks: “Keep,” “Charity,” “Bin.” Give out any piece of clothing you haven’t worn in over 6 months; chances are you won’t be wearing them ever again. Bin outfits that are worn out or irredeemably damaged.
<strong>2. Invest in a Clothes Rack</strong>
You need a clothes rack if your closet space is small and cannot adequately accommodate your clothes. It doesn’t require a complex setup or installation. Positioning it in a lovely corner of your room can help double your available wardrobe space. You could also consider using a towel hook to hang your accessories.
<strong>3. Make Use of Dividers to Compartmentalize Your Wardrobe </strong>
Wardrobe dividers are an easy, efficient, and affordable way to organize your outfits and jewelries.
Group outfits by type, for example, denim, cardigans, and gowns. Here are a few tips on compartmentalizing your wardrobe:
Sort outfits according to height and size. i.e., blouses go on the lower shelf, pants, and trousers on the middle shelf, while lengthy gowns and heavy coats can go on a more roomy, higher shelf.
Keep frequently worn outfits or used accessories in an easily accessible drawer. Store seldomly used ones out of sight.
You can also sort out your outfits by color-coding them for easy identification if you want to.
<strong>4. Deal with Your Footwear Situation </strong>
Your shoes can take up a lot of space if not well organized. Below are some of our favorite tips to getting your shoes neatly arranged:
Lift them off the floor to be arranged on a shoe shelf. It will make your space look tidier.
Sort shoes on the rack by color, make, and frequency of use.
To avoid crowding your closet space, consider getting over-the-door racks to arrange your shoes.
<strong>5. Try Out Better Folding and Hanging Techniques</strong>
After you’ve carved out different sections in your closet, it’s time to explore various methods of hanging and folding your outfits. Here are some ways to make your wardrobe look stylish and organized:
For clothes in shelves and on dividers, pile them over the other.
For clothes in drawers, arrange in a vertical fold pattern. This allows you to see all your outfits at a glance.
Use hangers for accessories like belts, scarfs, etc.
Keep underwear in separate bags or hang on hooks to keep them rumple-free.
