Bedroom closets can be a total disaster area, especially when a single closet is shared by a couple. Eventually, it is crammed full of stuff from top to bottom, and you can’t find anything you’re looking for. But never fear because there are some straightforward tips you can use to organize your bedroom closet.
Organizing Bedroom Closets
• Go through your closet as you organize it and eliminate anything you don’t use. Donate it. Not sure whether you actually wear something? Turn all your clothes hangers backward. After wearing and washing them, put them back the right way. Anything that hasn’t been turned around after three months can be donated.
• Organize your clothing by garment type. All the tanks together, all the dresses together, etc. Then break those sections down from long-sleeve to no-sleeve. This makes all your clothing easier to find and looks much more organized.
• Purchase shoe racks for the bottom of your closet to turn your pile of shoes into an organized lineup.
• Any items that aren’t clothes or shoes should go in the top of your closet or in separate storage elsewhere in the home. The basement, attic, or hallway storage closet are good choices.
• Have a lot of ties or scarves? Use clothespins to securely fasten them to your hangers, so you don’t have a huge mess.
• Have a lot of clothes? Using thinner hangers will give you the extra room you didn’t know you had.
• Parceling out clothing by season can help keep things de-cluttered. During the winter, all summer stuff can be stored away in compression storage bags and vice versa.
• Pieces of clothing littering the bottom of your closet? Use clothespins to keep intricate garments on their hangers.
• Consider matching outfits in advance if you’re busy. Hang outfits and accessories where you’ll see them first thing when you open your closet.
Conclusion
If you use the easy tips listed above, your bedroom closet will be organized, so you can always find what you want. It will also look neater, which has been psychologically proven to reduce stress levels. Using more than one method above will help your organization be most effective.
