Let’s be honest: Reorganizing your closet can be a mess. However, with the
right steps you can make this essential storage space the perfect example
of organized living that saves you time during your daily routine:
1– Remove and organize:
Yes, it sounds like a hassle, but for step 1 we’re going to start from
scratch. Begin by removing everything. For the sake of organization, we
recommend that all item types get be removed and placed in the following
piles:
– Clothes you wear often
– Items you utilize often
– Items you don’t utilize often
– Clothes you still wear but infrequently (I.E. that dress you wore to
your cousin’s wedding reception last year)
–Clothes/items you no longer use (Make a rule for yourself. I.E. if you
haven’t worn it during the past year, you probably won’t again. Also
don’t be afraid to try on clothes to determine whether or not items
belong in this pile)
2 – Bag up old items:
Out with the old to make space for the new! For step 2, we’re going to
bag up all those old clothes and items and prepare them for the future –
whether you decide to pass them down to a friend/relative, donate them,
or consign them to a store like Turn Style. This should give your closet
a lot more breathing room.
3 - Strategize & place items back in:
Reorganizing your closet is about a lot more functional than it was
before. Consider new measures, including the following:
– Hang clothes you wear often on one side of the closet and clothes you
wear less frequently on the other side
– If need be, add organizers. For example, an over-the-door shoe
organizer can save space for storing larger items and provide more leg
room should you have a walk-in closet. Other ideas might include a belt
rack, a scarf organizer, or a jewelry organizer
– If you must stack, place items in plastic storage bins – keeping less
frequently used items on the bottom and more frequently used items on
the top
