HOW TO ORGANIZE A CLOSET
Overwhelmed by a messy closet? It doesn’t have to be this way! In this video we’ll lay out several helpful tips to achieving a more organized closet (and a happier life).
Take inventory of your clothes. Have you worn them lately? Do they hold sentimental value? Most importantly: Will you wear them again? Give each item a quick mental evaluation, considering those things.
Make a keep or toss pile. Sometimes it’s easier to part with things when you know they’re going to be rehomed to someone you know will appreciate them. Organize a clothing swap with friends or simply take the stuff to a thrift store and donate it.
We recommend doing either of those things within a couple weeks or cleaning out your closet, before you either change your mind and end up keeping the stuff, after all, or you leave that pile somewhere where it’s creating more stress and clutter — only now, it’s outside of the closet.
Invest in some new, slender, matching, non-slip hangers. Wood hangers are clunky, plastic hangers are slippery and breakable, and felt hangers are just right. We can’t rave about these enough. They fit exponentially more things into the closet, come in a multitude of colors (fun!) and prevent clothing items from sneaking off onto the floor, where they get wrinkly, dusty, and lost.
Dust and vacuum your closet. How often does this get done? Hardly ever? So it’s probably quite dusty in there. Remove all your clothes and shoes before dusting, or you’re going to have a lot of laundry to do.
Grab your Swiffer Duster with its extendable handle and hit those hard-to-reach high shelves. Use a vacuum or Swiffer Sweeper, wrangle the dust bunnies that have been hiding out with your lesser-worn shoes.
If your closet is smelling a bit musty, give it a spritz with some Febreze Air Effects and leave the door open for a couple hours to air it out. For more long-term scent mitigation, try sticking a Febreze Small Spaces deodorizer somewhere discreet in your closet. They come in a huge variety of scents and last up to 45 days. (Try one in your linen closet, as well!)
Organize your clothes by usage and season. Pull out your favorite clothes and your most-worn items (even though work clothes might not be your favorite clothes, they deserve a priority spot for simplicity’s sake). Maybe you want to get crazy and further organize by color. We like separating long and short items, too. Stick lesser-used clothes towards the back.
You can even implement a bit of a rotation system once you’ve inventoried and made a mental note of where all your things are, so that maybe you even wear forgotten clothing more often. Try storing seasonal stuff in labeled bins or baskets, so they’re easy to rotate in and out as the weather changes. Speaking of bins and baskets…
Organize with bins and baskets. Small items like purses, bathing suits, belts, hats, gloves, tights and scarves can live in bins and baskets. Keep your shelves organized with these fun storage containers. We like clear acrylic ones so you can actually see through them to easily locate items. Also, label everything. It keeps you accountable for putting things back in the right place and then also finding them again later.
