Top Two Tips for a Tidy Closet

We have all been there at one point or another: our clothes pile up on our beds, rest on top of dressers, or sometimes, make their way to The Chair that always seems to have more jackets, shirts, and pants on it with each day. It’s not that our closet isn’t a good option for these clothes, it’s that the closet has become so cluttered, there is hardly any room! Luckily, we can help you put the days of using beds, dressers, and The Chair as a closet alternative with our top two tips for a tidy closet.

Tip #1: The One Year Rule

At one point, you envisioned wearing that pink sweater to coffee dates, brunch with friends, and around the house when you had family over. You also thought the same thing about that jacket, those pair of shoes, and a pair of pants that have been collecting dust since the day you hung them up. That is why one of our top two tips for a tidy closet is the One Year Rule. Essentially, if you haven’t worn something for over a year, it is time to find a new home for those garments. There are several consignment shops and non-profit charities that will be more than happy to help take the clothes you don’t wear off of your hands. Whether you choose to sell or donate, this will help clear up space in your closet without making perfectly good clothes go to waste. Once you feel like you have decluttered your closet with things you don’t wear, we can now focus on organizing the things that you do wear!

Tip #2: Adding Shelving

This brings us to our second tip: adding shelving to your closet. We know what you might be thinking. How will adding something to your closet help free up space? The answer is actually very simple. Instead of mixing your casual, gym, work, and elegant clothes on the limited rail space in your closet or tossing them into clunky bins, additional shelving will help you section off each category of clothing for easy finding and more space. For example, a closet with each piece of clothing hanging will look much denser than a closet that has formal and work clothes hanging up while casual clothes are neatly folded into several different shelves. That is why adding shelving lands on our list of top two tips for a tidy closet. The best part? Our team of experts is always ready to help you find your perfect shelving arrangement!
