One of the ways to drastically improve your life is to organize your closet. A well-organized dresser will not only make you feel better, but also give you a peace of mind. But here is the thing, organizing your closet can be a little bit tricky since there’s no general solution that can work for everyone. Luckily, all you need is a plan to tackle every challenge that keeps your clothes from becoming neat.
You can’t organize your closet very well if you don’t declutter your clothes. Before anything else, take everything out of your closet because it’s a lot easier to plan when all you see is blank space. Then, section your clothes apart: one for throwing out old and unused clothes, one for clothes you’ll donate or sell, one for the clothes you’ll keep, and one for clothes you’ll occasionally wear.
Eliminating clothes is a taxing move for some. To help, you decide whether you’ll get rid of something or not, ask yourself. Do I still love this clothing? Does this item fit my current style? Does it fit my body shape? Is it comfortable to wear? If you get a negative answer, now’s the chance to bid adieu to your pre-loved clothes.
When storing your apparel, you can fold them neatly inside your existing cabinet. If you want an upgrade, you can opt for a new cabinet like Origami Linus Wardrobe Cabinet. For additional storage space, you can buy a large drawer such as the modern KREATIV Scout Steel Chest of 5 Drawers, the multi-purpose 5L-203 Fabric Chest with 4 Drawers, or the affordable Megabox with 5 Drawers. Also, you can put away the clothing you’ll occasionally wear inside a storage box like the Megabox 30L Storage Box for easy storing which you can find at AllHome.
Aside from being visually pleasing to the eyes, uniform hangers make it easy for snatching your clothes inside your cabinet because hangers with different shapes and sizes can dent or worse, damage your clothing. Matching your hangers, especially velvet hangers like Velvet Hanger RHM1906-062 LT-556 from AllHome, can save up a lot of space. You can always go for your trust plastic hangers or get new ones such as 1179 Hanger Set Of 6.
Keep in mind to hang all your clothes in the same direction for a trouble-free and smooth access in your closet.
Organizing your dresser is not done just for the sake of decluttering. Storing them the right way guarantees that your clothes will last for a long time. Cashmere and knitted sweaters, corduroy, khaki pants, lycra, spandex, jersey and denim clothing are better off folded to prevent sagging and maintain their shape. Any silk apparel, flowy dresses, jackets, corporate suits are to be hung to prevent creases. Formal or cocktail attires are preferably placed in a garment bag.
It’s also much better if you organize your cabinet based on color, category, or purpose. For example, frequently used apparel are best piled in front while the least worn outfits are best placed at the back of your closet.
After storing your clothing, leave no space behind by capitalizing your vertical storage space. A wall hook like CASCADE 4/6 Hook Wavilness Hanger can be your best friend in building individual holders for your whole collection of scarves, belts, neckties or even small bags instead of dedicating a hanger to each item which can clearly cause knotting or wrinkling.
You can also benefit from a clothes rack such as KREATIV Hyder I Cloth Rack from AllHome for your hats and heavy coats.
Don’t forget to store your laundry
A heap of dirty clothes is a big no-no. Store your dirty laundry in a laundry basket or hamper such as Megabath Laundry Basket Without Handle 36L if you’re going for a classic look, EZ SPACES Metal with Canvass Liner Rowan Oval Shaped Hamper with Handle for a minimalist look, or HOBBYLIFE Rattan Laundry Hamper 35 Liters if you’re opting for a bohemian look within the corner of your bedroom or bathroom. In case you have a small space, hang a laundry basket, like AllHome’s Fabric Hanging Organizer- 3 Pocket, on a hook on the back of your room’s door or use a storage bin for your dirty laundry as an inconspicuous decor.
Stack and store your shoes
If you still have space in your closet, you can use a storage box for your slippers, flip flops, or slides. Small shoe collections may also benefit from hanging shoe racks, but a bigger shoe rack or a shoe cabinet like KREATIV XIO bamboo shoe rack or Nald Shoe Cabinet FD 168 which you can get from AllHome is way more useful for storing your footwear collection. By doing so, storing your shoes will help you find your shoes immediately whenever you need them. Also, your shoes are less likely to be damaged. Another tip is putting them in opposite directions to save a lot more space.
You don’t need to be an expert organizer to tackle your storage problems in an efficient and effective way. The project of rearranging the space you have for your clothing may take a little bit of effort, time, and thought, but the written tips will allow you to create a closet you can count on.
