Unlock Your Personal Style with an Organized Closet
Do you feel stressed out every time you open your bedroom closet? If so, you’re not alone. We all get busy and when we’re at our busiest, the closet is the first place to go. Why? Because it’s so easy to toss things into it, close the door and walk away.
Ten Ways to Easily Organize Your Closet
I know what it’s like to have a closet that is packed with clothes and yet constantly feel like you have nothing to wear. The good news is that having an organized closet is actually relatively easy.
The first step is to take an inventory of what’s already in there. To get your closet ready for next season, take a look around and ask yourself if you’re hoarding:
- Anything that does not fit you right now
- Anything you haven’t worn in more than 6 months
- Clothes and accessories that are out of style
- Clothes and accessories that are damaged
- Empty or damaged hangers (or wire hangers from the dry cleaners)
- Seasonal clothes in good condition
- Exercise equipment
- Pillows and blankets
- Books
- Paperwork
For items 1-3, donate to Goodwill. There are also a lot of thrift stores that will take damaged items. Just make sure to label the bag “recycle items” when you drop them off. Everything else gets stored in its proper place. Pack seasonal clothing and bedding in large under-bed storage containers. Put books on the shelf where they belong. Shred, file or digitize paperwork.
