area recommends a simple 5 step process to ensure your closet stays in tip top organized shape!
1. Take everything out of the closet and start with a clean slate. This process will also help you determine what things you don't need and you can donate the extra clothing to the charity of your choice.
2. Start by placing items of likeness together back into the closet. For example, place all of your work shirts together, work pants, t-shirts, etc. For me, I do not use a dresser and hang all of my t-shirts up. I go the extra step and organize my shirts by color.
3. Once your clothing is put into your closet, use a shoe organizer to place your shoes in. I purchased 2 cheap shoe organizers that hang on the clothes bar and holds 10 pairs of shoes each. This opens up floor space and ads a streamlined look to your closet.
4. Purchase a large hanging organizing unit ($6.99 at IKEA) to place your socks, under shirts and under garments in. For an even more clean look, purchase the extra baskets that fit into the oversized slots to conceal the items. You can find these items on IKEA's website using the keyword SKUBB.
5. If you have extra items that you keep in the closet, you now have shelving and floor space free to use. I highly recommend placing the items in some kind of container and mark the outside of the container so you know what contents are inside. Ideally, your clothes closet is only for clothes!
With your organized closet, you save time finding your next outfit and make room for the new season's fashions and the best part? If you have none of the items used in this blog, you can buy everything for under $30. Plus, this may eliminate the need for a dresser, thus freeing up extra space in your bedroom.
