Take a moment to fix your wardrobe and you will see the benefits
From time to time, it is necessary to stop a bit to put things in order and tidy up the closet. And that brings immediate benefits and a sense of well-being that results from good organization.
7 simple tips to organize your wardrobe well:
1Detach
The first act of organization must be to fix the space and, for that, there is nothing better than detaching. If you haven't worn a certain piece of clothing for over a year, try it on. If it works, reflect on whether it is worth keeping, if you think you will use it frequently. Otherwise, donate it. Many pieces of clothing find more utility when you donate them to someone in need rather than leave them moldy in your closet.
2Start with the hangers
If the hangers are different from each other, organize your hanging clothes by the type of hanger. First the wooden ones, then the plastic ones, and then the metal ones and so on. That will make it easier to choose clothes faster. Another tip to see clothes more easily is to leave the hooks facing inward.
3Separate by categories
Before you start to arrange your clothes in the closet, separate them by category: coats, shirts, dresses, skirts, etc. Within each category, it is worth separating by size and by type of fabric, coarse or finer. That will make it easier for you to find it every day.
4Organize by colors
After your shirts, t-shirts, coats, and other pieces have been grouped by type, organize the pieces within each category by color. That will give you a clearer view of where to find a certain item.
5Divide by stations
It doesn't make sense for your beachwear to share space with sweaters in the dead of winter. This only detracts from practical value. Sort your clothes by season, or at least for hot and cold, and leave next season's clothes in less accessible places in the closet, such as behind upper doors. The same goes for clothes that you only wear sporadically, like party clothes. To protect your stored clothes and keep them organized, use acrylic boxes, vacuum plastic containers, or TNT bags.
6Fold what goes in the drawers
The most efficient way to use closet space and organizers is to fold pieces evenly so they form stacks. This applies to all drawers, including underwear and bedding. In the latter case, the advice is to separate the sheets by set, so you don't have to search everywhere to find the matching pillowcases and sheets.
7Use boxes
There is not much organization when organizing the closet. In the absence of adequately sized drawers, one solution is to use boxes, like those perforated cardboard organizers sold at stationery stores. They are ideal for storing smaller items such as socks, underwear, and t-shirts.
