Keeping your closet organized all year long is a real challenge. We buy shoes, bags, clothes and accessories and sometimes we don’t know how to organize them in our closet, or sometimes we are looking for a particular dress and we have take out all of our clothes to find it. Let’s take a look at a few tips to keep our things organized in our closet.
The first step is to have some time and patience, so when you’re ready, empty your closet completely, put everything on your bed, and get rid of the clothes, shoes and accessories you no longer wear. You can donate them, give them away or even sell them if you want, because there will always be people who might want them.
Closets usually have drawers and shelves inside, places to hang your clothes and to put shoes, so start with the items you like the most and put them in a place you’ll easily find them. That way, you won’t waste your time trying to find what to wear. Some people like to organize clothes based on their color, because they find it easier to spot their favorite pieces.
The most common way to organize your clothes is by type, so put dresses on one side, jeans on another, and if you have many, you can fold them and put them into the shelves. You can do the same to shirts and blouses. Put your sleepwear, underwear and socks in the drawers.
Perfumes, body lotions, body oils and cosmetics can be kept in the bathroom to save space, or in a drawer or open place in your closet. You can use drawer organizers for your jewelry and other accessories.
Keep your lingerie on the upper shelves of your closet. Roll up sheets, duvets, bedspreads, blankets and towels to maximize space.
Sometimes it’s hard for us to find a place to keep our shoes. They are usually just piled up and we can never find what we’re looking for, but there are many solutions for this very common problem. You can put them on your closet floor, paired together. There are also shelves that can be attached to the doors to save space. You can also get a cabinet to store them, and boxes are always an option.
Shirts must be buttoned up; drawers are for underwear, accessories and jewelry. Don’t even think about placing wet clothes in your closet, wait until they are completely dry. You can use hooks to hang your pants on if you don’t have much room. If you have clothes that need to be repaired, put them aside, so you don’t forget about them. You can use small hooks for that.
