New Closet Organizers

Decluttering Your Closet

You should declutter your closet at least twice a year. In spring and autumn are an ideal occasion, since most people buy new clothes at this time.  But sometimes you may need a deeper reorganization.  Here are some steps you can take to make the job easier and more productive.

Before you take anything out of your closet or begin sorting and organizing, do the following.

If your closet door is not closed properly it may be because the closet is too full or just needs more closet organization so that everything fits perfectly. While no one likes to clean and organize the closet, you can do it in a few hours.  It will make a big difference.  Once your closet is organized you will be able to find things faster in the morning and know what you are buying without purchasing duplicate items because you cannot find things.

To begin to organize your closet, you want to get 3 different boxes.  One box is for things to be given away or sold in a sale of things that will no longer be use, which are things that are still fashionable or do not fit anymore.  Another box will be for things you can store elsewhere, this is what you have stored in your closet that you still need to maintain, but can be removed because you do not use it much. The last box is for items you want to keep.  The items you want to keep, you can lay on the bed still in on a clothes hanger.  For other items that you want to keep, you’ll need a closet organizer, one for each kind of item: ties, shoes, and so on.

You will want to remove everything from the closet to clean it completely.   Place the items in one of the boxes mentioned above.  Once everything is out of the closet, you can take care of the boxes. This will make your room look less saturated, and you will feel as you’ve moved forward.

Now comes the fun part, putting things back in your closet.  At this point you may want to take a few minutes and decide how you want your space to look in your closet.  You can buy specialized organizers (recommended) to help your closet get organized and stay that way.  Or you may just want to buy plastic containers with lids. When you put your clothes in again, you want to sort by color and season so it will be much easier to find what you want.
