homeWork: Closet Organization
You ain’t really organized until your closets are organized- in my opinion. This spring, I am attacking my closets, cabinets, and drawers.
Check this super helpful video out:
Steps for closet organization: (thanks mom for being the clean closet queen; she taught me all of these)
- Get better quality hangers and have only one kind of hangers. Looks nicer. (I think black plastic looks best)
- Purge clothes that you haven’t worn in 6 months.
- Is your closet large enough to have all four seasons of clothes? If not, put out of season clothing in clear containers to simplify the closet to the season you are in. (containers for under your bed?)
- Zone your closet. Sections for shirts: short sleeve to long sleeve. Dresses- pants. Dark to light. Solid to pattern.
- Shoes on shelves or shoe cubbies and zoned
- Scarves and hats, gloves and other accessories in clear containers
- Purses all together on shelves or drawers.
- Keep empty hangers in a section of their own, hung up.
- Keep dirty clothes hamper close by, so that no piles start to form.
Happy Closet Organizing!
