Tonight I finally tackled one daughting task: cleaning out the closet. It bothered me day in and day out to look at this hole in the wall with zero organization to it. I let mine get to a point that was so disgusting, It actually took me two full hours to organize it. That being said, I have a few closet organizational tips and tricks to make life easier in the morning when you need to find an outfit to wear!
1. Color code.
Not only is this tip pleasing to the eye, it also speeds up the outfit-choosing process. Find a pair of pants, and then choose a color shirt that goes best with it. It definitely makes searching for that perfect shirt ten times easier.
2. Fold and put away clothes from back to front of the dresser.
This tip allows more space for your drawers, and it allows you to see all the shirts you have to choose from at the same time without having to move anything around.
3. Get a hanging closet organizer.
BUT, don't put your clothes in it. Instead, fill it with shoes such as converse, gym shoes, heels, and combat boots so that your shoes will not be sprawled out all across the bedroom or closet floor. If the organizer is completely filled, it leaves a lot of closet floor space for boots or other items that need storage such as cleaning supplies or umbrellas.
4. Hang all of your scarves on a hanger.
This trick saves a lot of room for more clothes in the closet! It will also be much easier to find the scarf you want when looking at all of the them lined up each day.
5. Donate older clothes twice a year.
Once in the fall, and once in the spring, this is a great way to keep your style fresh, and it allows you to go on shopping sprees more often while giving your old clothes to people who need them!
These organizational tips will be great to use in a dorm, apartment, or even a walk-in closet! You can accommodate to your own space and needs. Happy Organizing!
