Conquer Your Closet: A Step-by-Step Organization Plan

A cluttered closet can make your morning routine chaotic. Taking the time to organize it properly will save you time and reduce stress every single day. Here's how to get it done.

Step 1: Empty and Clean

The first step is always the hardest: take everything out. Yes, everything. This gives you a blank slate and allows you to see the true size of your space. Once empty, give the closet a thorough vacuuming and wipe down the shelves and rods.

Step 2: Sort and Purge

Create three piles: Keep, Donate, and Toss. As you handle each item of clothing, ask yourself:

  • Have I worn this in the last year?
  • Does it still fit and make me feel good?
  • Is it in good condition (no stains, holes, or irreparable damage)?

Be honest and decisive. If it doesn't serve you, let it go.

Step 3: Organize and Strategize

Now, put the "Keep" items back in an organized way.

  • Group Like Items: Put all your shirts together, all your pants together, etc. You can go a step further and organize by type (e.g., short-sleeve vs. long-sleeve) and then by color.
  • Use Matching Hangers: Slim velvet hangers save space and create a clean, uniform look.
  • Utilize Vertical Space: Use hanging organizers for shoes or sweaters. Add shelves or drawers if you have room.
  • Store Seasonally: Pack away out-of-season clothes in vacuum-sealed bags or under-bed storage containers to free up prime closet real estate.
