You
don’t have to spend a fortune on fancy closet organizing systems to organize
your own closet, but it does require taking an honest look at your belongings
and your habits. With some creativity
and some planning, you can create a closet that’s organized and easy to
maintain.
First
of all, it’s imperative that you take a look at what’s currently in your closet
before you can begin to organize it. If
there is clothes that haven’t been worn in six months or more, worn out shoes,
outdated handbags and accessories that you no longer use, get rid of them. They are only taking up your valuable
space. You’ll be pleasantly surprised
just how much space you can free up by purging beforehand, and it also means
less to contend with during the organization process.
Next,
take a look at what you’re left with. Try
to organize your clothes based on what groups together well as outfits. Try to group like colors together, and
organize shoes and accessories into casual, sport, professional and
formal/dressy categories.
Now
that you know what you’re left with, it’s time to place it back into your
closet in a neat and organized fashion.
Look around your home for unused baskets and bins. Consider installing a couple of extra shelves
if the need warrants. Affordable
shelving units and brackets can be found in more home organization sections of
your favorite hardware or discount store.
You
can also make great use of your space simply by using lengths of chain to hang
items on in your closet. You can purchase
plastic or metal chain in different lengths depending on your needs. Links
should be large enough to accommodate your style of hanger – whether metal or
plastic. Hardware or do-it yourself stores will cut the chain the length that
you request. Attach the chain to your closet rod with a hook; these can also be
found at the hardware or do-it-yourself store. Or you can simply loop the chain over the hook
of a sturdy coat hanger. Hang clothing
items, one hanger per link. This simple,
inexpensive method can help you store several items in the space of just one.
With
a little discipline, some creativity, and a free afternoon, your closet will
soon be organized, easy to use, and simple to maintain.
