Take a close look at the use of your closet space. Consider how much space you have, how it is organized and how much is being wasted.   Is there unused wall space where they could install shelves or racks for shoes instead? Is there room for a small book shelf or chest of drawers? What’s in the back of the door (which can be a good place for a hook to hang your bathrobe belt or a rack and accessories)? Seriously consider adding shelves, drawers, racks and whenever possible use the available closet space and maximize its usefulness. There are a lot of closet organizers available for all budgets and it does make a huge difference in keeping your closet clean and uncluttered in the future.

2. If you only want to use the space you have, it is fine, go to step three. Otherwise, if on the other hand, you decide to add shelving or storage units, do serious research about it and visit local stores for home improvement. Closet organizers are essential for organizing your closet. Don’t underestimate how useful they are. Also, ask your friends for their best ideas for organizing closets. Have a look in your closet. Once you’ve selected and purchased an organizer, take everything out of the closet and install new storage units. If you add drawers or boxes, label them to make it easier to identify the categories of items (belts, scarves, bags, etc.).

3. Clean the cabinet, vacuum the floor and wash the rods and shelves. Now you are ready to begin the process of selection and elimination.  Decluttering is a ungrateful task, but it will be easier and more productive if you have the right attitude.

First, set aside a time to do it when you are full of energy.

Secondly, when work is overwhelming, remember that the satisfaction of a clean, well organized, uncluttered wardrobe of clothes, not to mention the time you can save.

And third, be prepared to be ruthless about getting rid of items that have outlived their usefulness. If you must, set a standard for every item, for example, anything you have not used at all during the past 12 months must, without exception, must be thrown away.

Now that you’re in the right frame of mind, you’re ready to begin seriously decluttering your closet. You’ll enjoy the view of it afterwards.
