Keeping a clean, organized closet can be tough, especially when you own so many items, but luckily there are easy ways to help you organize your closet. Check out these helpful tips.
First, remove all of your items from your closet to get a good look at what you own. If your closet is too cluttered, it is usually an indication that you are storing too many items in it. Get rid of the items that you don’t need, such as clothes that you never wear, movies you haven’t seen in years, and other unimportant items that you never use. With everything removed from your closet, take this chance to wipe down all the shelves and vacuum or sweep the floor.
With an empty closet, it is easier to see how much closet space you really have, so decide how many things you can actually put back. If you can’t see how your belongings will fit in an organized manner, consider getting rid of more items.
If most of your items are loose in your closet, purchase storage totes to keep your items in. Not only does this give you a chance to organize a little bit better, but it helps give structure so that items can stay on high shelves, and it gives a closet a clean feel to it.
Fill your storage totes with the items that you want to keep, organizing items into categories that you will remember when you want to find items later. Stack these totes on shelves first before putting them on the floor. Use hangers to hang up all of your clothes; if there isn’t enough room, you need to get rid of more clothes or store some in the totes. With clothes on a hanger and your belongings in storage totes, your closet can have a clean feel to it without the fear of everything crashing down every time you open the door.
