6 Quick Everyday Tips to Organize a Small Closet

Introduction:

Organizing a small closet space can be a rewarding yet challenging task, but with the right approach, it can be transformed into a functional area. So let begin organizing your closet!

  • Start by removing all items from the closet entirely to assess what you have.

  • Remove clothes, hangers, ties, purses, handbags, shoes, and all accessories.

  • Make three Piles on the bed, couch or area near to the closet.

2. Sort Items
  • Sort Items into three categories; keep, donate, and toss.

  • Keep clothes that you wear more than once per year.

  • Donate gentle used unworn clothes that you have not worn in over a year.

  • Toss torn, worn-out clothes that are of no use.

  • Once you have a clear understanding of what you need to store, consider using vertical space by installing shelves or using stackable bins.

4. Invest in Slim Hangers

  • Invest in slim hangers to maximize hanging space and utilize door space with hooks or racks for accessories.

  • Velvet hangers are a great investment as it helps clothes to remain on the hanger without sliding off and takes up less space.

5. Implement a Label System
  • Implement a labeling system for boxes and bins to easily locate items.

  • Pre-printed labels can be found on Etsy, Amazon, or through Vista Print.

  • You can also purchase a label maker to create and customize your labels.

6. Regularly Check Your Space

By following these steps, you can create a neatly organized closet that not only saves time but also enhances the overall aesthetics of your living area.

  • Finally, regularly revisit and reassess your closet to maintain its organization, ensuring it remains a functional and efficient space.
