Transforming the Chaos
Organizing a closet may seem like a daunting task, but with the right tips and products, you can turn chaos into harmony and make getting dressed a breeze. The first step is probably the hardest and the most tedious and that's decluttering. Take stock of your wardrobe, assess each item's relevance, and bid farewell to pieces that no longer spark joy. A good rule of thumb is to see what you have or haven’t worn in the last six months and to make the decision of whether or not it’s time to bid farewell.
It’s always a good idea to consider donating or selling items in good condition which usually makes us feel better about saying goodbye to pieces we once loved. Once you've curated your collection, now it’s time to invest in practical storage solutions to optimize space. Products like slim velvet hangers not only save space but also prevent clothes from slipping, maintaining the integrity of your garments but we’ve got a few other easy organizing tips that go above and beyond to maximize your closet space.
Another thing you want to consider is how to maximize your vertical storage space not just what’s at eye level and this often overlooked aspect is why so often closets remain so chaotic. We suggest utilizing shelf dividers to keep stacks of clothing neatly organized while still accessible. Also, consider storing pieces like gloves, beanies, scarves, hats and other accessories in clear plastic bins so you can easily see where you’ve stored them. Another overlooked storage opportunity is your closet or wardrobe door which is a perfect place to hang a shoe organizer which could alternatively be used to store jewelry or even sunglasses but are still easily accessible.
A great way to add aesthetic to your organizing process is to add some flair by using decorative baskets and bins that match the aesthetic and vibe of your apartment, home or your room. We like to also use the baskets and bins that allow you to place labels on the front so nothing goes unaccounted for and they’re great for storing miscellaneous items such as belts, small handbags or even extra folded clothes that are stored away in the off seasons. Plus, you can always switch them out for other styles and sizes as needed, keeping your closet up to date with the rest of your house decor as it may change. Having a clean closet that’s not only functional but visually pleasing doesn’t just make sense storage wise but also promotes a stress free environment that you utilize everyday making you look forward to getting ready each morning.
