Looking your best starts long before you get dressed and one of the keys to having great style is to organize your closet.
A disorganized closet has negative energy, and can leave you feeling overwhelmed and uninspired. Here are four reasons why you may want to consider organizing your closet.
Benefits of an Organized Closet
You’re able to to see what you own. How often do you forget what you have because it’s not easy to see or access?
Once you can actually see what you have, assembling your outfits, and mixing and matching becomes easier.
You can identify duplicates and wardrobe gaps, making it easier to shop. How many times have you purchased an item only to find out you already have it?
An organized closet saves you time and alleviates stress.
Organizing your closet can be overwhelming if you don’t have a process or plan. These six tips will give you a good starting point.
Closet Organization Tips
- Remove all items that don’t fit into the clothing, shoes, or accessories categories and find another place in your home for them.
- Stop torturing yourself by holding onto items that no longer fit and get rid of them. If you’re not ready to permanently part ways with them, at least temporarily move them to another space in your home. Revisit those items in a few months and see if you miss them. If not, donate or consign them.
- Replace your mismatched hangers with quality matching hangers. They will give your closet a more cohesive and uniform look.
- Organize your clothing in a way that makes sense to you — by clothing type, color, or both.
- Add functional and attractive accessories like baskets, bins, hat boxes, etc.
- If you have space, add decorative elements like cool pictures, a luxe rug, or a decorative chair for a more custom look and feel.
If your closet isn’t working for you in its current state, consider an upgrade. Even the smallest closets can benefit from a makeover, which will provide you with more space and the ability to easily organize your belongings.
In addition, you can transform your space into something more personal, which can improve your attitude about style and help you tap into your creativity.
I have a small walk-in closet and had The Container Store give it a facelift, and it was money well-spent. I am more inspired to not only look my best, but to keep my closet neater than I have in the past.
