A Beginner’s Guide to Closet Organization

With the busyness of your everyday life, closet storage organization is probably not at the top of your priority list. However, maximizing closet space, having an organized wardrobe, and increasing your overall daily fashion structure is essential to an effective daily routine. Well-organized closet spaces can increase the longevity of your clothes and improve the look and feel of this important space in your home.

Some added shelves, rods, and closet drawers will make a big difference to your existing closet storage organization system. Adding a few changes can go a long way, especially when it comes to meeting the needs of your wardrobe. 

Here are some quick tips on how to go about maximizing your closet space and creating a perfect wardrobe area to house your clothes. 

1) Start From Scratch

Not sure where to start this reorganization process? The answer is simple. Start from scratch.  Dozens of organization professionals recommend this particular strategy.

Take absolutely everything out of your closet. If you don't remove it all, there's a chance you'll just end up moving things around without any real progress. It would be best if you discard what you don't need and reorganize what you choose to keep. After you've emptied your closet of its contents, it's time to start optimizing!

2) Identify Your Trouble Spots

Identifying your trouble spots is crucial when reviewing your closet storage organization/ Are there items you consistently misplace? Do you have trouble finding some shirts you often use? Do you store walking shoes you wear for your morning run in an easily-accessible location? Does the closet space that currently greets you each morning feel too cluttered? 

Your closet should have a structure built around your convenience. Prominently place what use most, depending on what season it is and what events are going on in your life. 

If you're entering the colder months of the year, you'll want to bring your sweaters, shawls, and coats to the forefront of your closet and put your summer wear on back shelves or in garment bags.

Create an assigned area in your closet for your favorite shirts, dress wear, pants, and jackets. Choose a space towards the front, arranged in a way that takes the least amount of time for you to make your clothing decision each day. Hang what garments you can for maximum visibility. Store folded clothes in easily accessible, labeled containers.

Everything less-worn or out of season should go in a less-accessible place in your closet.

3) Leave the Empty Space Be

You've created more blank spaces in your closet by discarding items you don't need. That's great! Now, do not mess with these empty locations! Unused areas are vital to your closet storage organization, as it keeps things from getting too cluttered.

Don't be tempted to fill these spots with random items just because there's space for them. You have an easily-accessible, prominent place for your current, in-demand items. Your out-of-season and less used items are in less noticeable spaces. Allow your closet to serve its purpose as a wardrobe organizer, not a cluttered storage area.

4) Design Your Wardrobe According to Your Needs 

You know your needs more than anyone. Depending on what kind of lifestyle you lead, you'll need different accessories to organize your wardrobe.

If you're a daily suit wearer, luxury hangers will keep everything in proper shape. A tie rack will prevent wrinkling. If you're a fitness enthusiast, roll those yoga pants and shorts and place them in labeled boxes. Using shelves can create a section for tall boots at the bottom of your closet. 

Keep your items categorized, keep your organizational accessories uniform (i.e., matching hangers and boxes), and keep your most-used clothes within reach. These simple tips will create an organized, aesthetically pleasing space to visit throughout the day.
