I’d encourage you to evaluate the accessories you own and look for simple ways to corral them in bins or baskets. But I found that I kept wearing the same pair over and over because I’d forget what pairs were at the bottom of the stack! If you haven’t tried hanging your pants and shorts, I’d encourage you to give it a shot! The bags and purses got a new shelf above my hanging clothes to maximize on that side’s storage.
You can follow the above tips to make the process fun and ensure your closet space is clean, organized, and free of clutter. Take a step back and enjoy the view of your fresh-scented, clean, organized closet. Another fantastic option for the closet organization is a light-to-dark strategy. One day while searching the net I came across few articles that stressed on organizing your closet according to colours.
4: Instead of being sad and depressed about giving away something that you once loved, remember all of the good memories that you made while wearing it. Giving everything a place where it belongs. Often the reason our clothing storage areas look messy is because we are holding onto way too much clothing in the first place. Often, seeing exactly how many wears (or how few wears) you’re getting out of your clothes is a great way to make decluttering clothes easier.
It is satisfying to get rid of clutter and throw away unusable products which in turn makes the home easier to clean and organize. Store all your shirts together, your pants together, etc. This makes finding items easier. I recommend hanging dresses, dress shirts or blouses, pants and shorts, skirts and jackets. Since hanging my pants, I wear each of them because they’re all visible to me.
Remember if you can’t see it, you won’t wear it, so get rid of some stuff and make space for the items you don’t want to forget about. For example: You get a new pair of sandals and you have an old pair of sandals you will no longer wear now that you have the new pair. Get rid of the old pair! Get Boxes. Start With Large Items. Start with the hanging items.
Evaluate - do I have enough hanging space? Have you considered it already? Ten years ago I committed to blogging, documenting my finds about fashion and travel for women, like me, over 50. On Lifestyle Fifty I share style inspiration and ways to look good, feel good, do good and have adventures. A few key organizational pieces, like bins and thin velvet hangers can create a huge difference in the overall feel and space of your closet.
A few tips I have are to put your flip flops and casual sandals in a basket for easy access and store your other shoes with one facing forward and one facing backward. For one-off items like my gloves and hats, I added a few simple closed boxes on the top shelf. For one-off items, like gloves or hats, create one pile for those items altogether.
Put all the handbags in one stack, all the tank tops in another, and so on. One of the easiest way to keep your closet organized is to be good about getting rid of something when you get something new. Not only can vanities be used for storing hair accessories and jewelry, but they can also be used for getting ready in the morning. Your unexpected call can bring a big fat smile on someone’s face.
Most likely you’ve got something in your closet with a similar purpose that can get donated or sold. Just get started and slowly you will make progress. Streamlining your closet with these hangers will give it a uniform look and will also create more space. Set strict parameters for each of these boxes - what will go where and why?
1. Plan - evaluate every item with strict parameters! Or sign up for our email list and receive a free workbook to help you make your own decluttering plan! 1. Plan - Label four boxes with Keep, Sell, Donate and Trash. 2. Sort - group items by keep, sell, donate and trash. 2. Sort - Go through every item in your closet and place them in one of boxes. They both pull out from the cabinet or closet on some sort of slide or roller, providing easy access to contents.
Be sure to check out the post for tips on how to declutter hard to part with items and keep the closet organized long-term! If you're a sentimental person, feel free to add a fifth box for the hard to part with items and review those after. 3. Organize - Group everything in your "Keep" box by type of item - the pants all together, the purses all together, etc. Then decide if you want to hang, fold or corral that type of item in your closet and place them in accordingly.
