Step 1: Remove everything from your closet

Clean your closet – the first step in getting organized is to remove everything from your closet. This may seem daunting, but it’s important to start with a clean slate. Take everything out of your closet and separate it into piles: keep, donate, sell, and toss. If you haven’t worn or used clothing items in the last year, it’s probably time to let it go. Once you’ve sorted through everything, take the donate and sell piles to your local charity or consignment store, toss the rest, and let us help organize your closet!

Step 2: Maximize your space

Now that you’ve pared down your closet, it’s time to make the most of the newspace you have. Start by installing a custom closet system with shelves, drawers, and hanging rods to create extra space and easy access. This will help you keep things organized and easily accessible. If you have limited space, consider using slimline hangers that take up less room than regular hangers. You can also use over-the-door organizers and under-bed storage boxes to make the most of your space.

Step 3: Organize by categories

To help you find what you need quickly, organize your clothes by category. For example, hang all your shirts together, then sort them by sleeve length or color. Keep your pants and skirts on the same hangers, and organize them by length or color. Shoes can be kept in cubbies or on shelves, and you can use clear shoe boxes to keep them dust-free and easy to find. Closet Accessories, such as belts, scarves, and jewelry, can be kept in drawers or hanging organizers.

Step 4: Maintain your organized closet

Once you’ve organized your closet, it’s important to maintain it. Make it a habit to put things away after wearing them and keep things on hangers or in drawers rather than on the floor. Do a quick spot-cleaning or dusting every so often to keep your closet looking fresh. And, of course, try not to let things pile up again! Regularly donate or sell clothes you’re no longer wearing to keep your closet clutter-free.
