7 Tips to an Organized Closet
Closets can become a dumping ground for clothes, accessories, and other items if they are not organized properly. A cluttered closet can be frustrating to deal with and makes it difficult to find what you are looking for. Most people know that having an organized closet is important, but few know how to go about achieving it. There are many different closet systems that can be used to organize a closet, and each system has its own benefits. The following tips will help you create an organizational system that works for your closet and helps keep it clean and tidy.
7 Tips to an Organized Closet
Choose the right closet system for your needs.
The market is inundated with organizational systems. The trick is weeding thru the clutter and finding the perfect one for you! Take your time. Do the research. And don’t settle until you are sure!
Take the time to declutter your closet.
Getting rid of old, unused, or unwanted items is an important step in creating an organized closet. You can donate items you no longer want or need, or simply throw them away.
Make use of storage bins and boxes.
Storage bins and boxes can be a great way to organize smaller items in your closet. Label each bin or box so you know what’s inside and consider using clear bins so you can easily see what you have.
Use hooks to keep things organized.
Hooks are a great option for hanging purses, coats, hats, or miscellaneaous items in your closet. You can also use them to keep belts or scarves organized. Pegboard is not just for the shop anymore. Pick up some peg board from your local hardware store along with accessory pieces for it. Pain it a soothing color and you have a unique yet practical place to hang your miscellaneous items.
Organize by color.
This may be an undertaking to begin with, but once it’s done – WOWZA! It makes everything easier to find and it just looks so satisfying to see a rainbow wardrobe!
Don’t forget about the floor and the ceiling.
Consider the entirety of the closet space you have available! That means pop some shelves up from the ceiling down. Take advantage of the floor space for storing shoes. Good storage boxes or shoe racks are a must!
If you have empty space above a hanging rack – put a shelving above, it! We lose so much space in closets by not taking advantage of the vertical space.
Invest in a good closet organizer
A closet organizer can be a great way to keep your closet organized and tidy. Look for one that has multiple shelves and compartments so you can easily store everything you need.
Final Thoughts on an Organized Closet
By following these tips, you can create an organized closet that will make your life easier and help you keep your clothes and other items tidy. Choose the right system for your needs, declutter regularly, and make use of storage bins and boxes to keep things in their place. And don’t forget to invest in a good closet organizer to help you keep everything organized and tidy.

I admit this is a big problem for me! My closet is a mess… I hate going through everything. I do love the idea of adding boxes to the floor/ceiling for extra space rather than trying to cram every single thing don’t he racks! I feel like now I need to go and try and conquer my closet tonight!

I love this guide. Decluttering is never easy so take your time doing it. I love to take out all my things and clothes and sell or donate the stuff I don’t use anymore. If you ever hesitate, put them in a box first. I love this system!

I love to have an organized closet. But it’s all about the space and how we invest in the structure, design,… My room is currently so small to have everything organized.
