Organize The Clutter

Whether your home has luxurious walk-in closets or more modest closets, one thing is for sure, everyone enjoys having clean and organized closets.  Who wouldn’t like being able to find what they want, when they want? Organizing closets is not as hard as people think.  In fact, it’s really as easy as 1-2-3.

1. Group like items together.  Take everything out of your closet and place pants with pants, shirts with shirts, sweaters with sweaters, skirts with skirts, shoes with shoes, belts with belts, coats with coats, , purses with purses, etc.
2. Arrange.  Now that you’ve sorted your items into groups, you can further arrange them in numerous ways.  You can arrange by season, color, by fit (tight, fitted, loose), by length (long, medium, short), by material (silks, linens, wool, cotton, denim, etc.), or by purpose (every day wear, evening wear, formal wear.)  For shoes, arranging by color and heel height tends to be a rather effective method. Discard items that are worn or have holes, out of style or no longer fit.
3. Maximize storage.  If you are finding it difficult to fit everything in and actually be able to browse the items, you might consider investing in some efficiency items to help you maximize your storage.  Use clear plastic bins with lids to stack and store off-season clothing or clothing that doesn’t fold cleanly and effectively.  Bulky clothing that doesn’t wrinkle, like sweats and hoodies and sweaters are often best stored in bins.  Placing seasonal items together in bins and stacking the bins allows you to have the current season’s bin on top and accessible.  Stacking bins extends your storage vertically, which is highly important when dealing with small closets.  Shoes are another item that can be effectively and efficiently stored in clear plastic bins or even the original shoe boxes (if you saved them.)  Label your bins, even though they may be clear, sometimes having a quick description visible saves you time by bypassing the wrong boxes.

Cabinet(s), drawer(s), and shelving systems are additional options available to maximize your closet space and organization.  Smaller items like undergarments, socks and stockings are best stored in drawers or bins.  Purses, hats, belts, scarves and ties can more effectively be managed with hanging or wall mounted organizers and dividers.

It’s important to maintaining your organized closet to put things back where they came from with their like items. When putting clean laundry away, place the dress pants back with the dress pants, the jeans with jeans and the dress shirts with the dress shirts – it may take an extra minute or two on the front end but you’ll never be late for work again because you couldn’t find that long sleeved blue shirt.

Whether your closet is modest, average, or as big as most people’s bedrooms, taking the time to organize it will lead to many benefits.  You will enjoy being able to see the full contents of your closet with a quick glance and be able to locate what you want in a quick and efficient manner.  With little effort, you can take charge of your cluttered closet and start enjoying it today!
