Organization Tips And Tricks To Prevent Your Closet From Getting Messy

Here you will find tricks to prevent your closet from getting messy. You can’t find what you need, so you spend hours figuring out where it went.

That’s why keeping your closet organized is so important. It will save time and give you more room to breathe. And while some people believe the best way to keep their closets in order is by color, size, or style – there are many different ways to do it! In the end, whatever type of organizational system works for you – here are tips on how to store everything in your closet neatly and efficiently!

Clean your closet

The first step you need to take is to give your closet a thorough cleaning. Many people believe that by just sorting their clothes – they’re good to go, but it’s not always the case. You need to clean out anything that doesn’t belong there and get rid of anything you haven’t worn in the past 6-12 months (or even longer). If you can’t remember when you wore it last, then chances are you’ll probably never wear it again, or at least in the foreseeable future. This will be useful for your organization and it will help you avoid packing for a trip and realizing that you don’t have anything to wear. Which we all know is an awful feeling.

Also, empty your closet of all items that are broken or torn out. This way, you won’t even think about putting them back in there and creating another mess later down the road.

Give away anything you don’t wear

We tend to hold onto clothes for sentimental reasons – but organizing is not the same thing as being reminded of things you used to own, especially if it’s just sitting there, taking up space! So once you do decide which clothes should stay and go, take some time to pack away everything else in boxes so someone else can enjoy them instead.

It will be hard at first to get rid of clothes you haven’t worn in years, but remember that it’s better than having them get lost or damaged in your closet. And if you do want to keep something, make sure it’s easily accessible and not buried under a pile of other clothes!

Organize by category

After getting rid of everything that no longer serves its purpose of being stored in your closet – sort your clothes into categories! There are many different ways to do this. One way is to separate them based on color, which will make it easier to find what you need in less time. Another way is to separate your everyday clothes (that you wear often) from clothes that are for special occasions. You can also sort by types of clothing, such as bottoms or tops.

Sort by color

Once you’ve done all the cleaning and organizing, you should consider sorting everything into sections by color. If you’re someone who likes to buy a bunch of similar items that don’t necessarily go together, this might be perfect for you! When it comes to clothes, rainbow colors (reds, blues, greens) tend to work best.

Color coding allows you to easily pick out an outfit and saves you time when choosing between something that goes with what you’re already wearing. It also helps prevent fashion mix-ups and headaches when deciding what to wear. Plus, it makes your closet look a lot more colorful and aesthetically pleasing.

Sort by Season

Sort by season

Sorting your clothes by season will come in handy when it comes to choosing outfits. For example, if you live in a colder climate and store winter clothes in your closet – you’ll want to make sure not to accidentally grab a summer dress! This way, you can easily find what you need without wasting time looking through piles of clothes that should be elsewhere. Keep in mind that the process of sorting by season is something you’ll want to do at least twice a year (switching between clothes for warmer and colder weather) or even more frequently.

Organize your shoes

As part of general organization practices, you should get into the habit of properly storing all your shoes. Separate them based on style (boots vs sneakers) or what season they are most suitable for. You can also sort them based on color, which is a great way to avoid mixing styles and colors of shoes.

Sort out your accessories

Storing small items like watches, bracelets, rings, and necklaces in a closet can lead to them easily getting lost in the chaos. To ensure their safety and avoid wasting time searching for them, consider practical storage solutions. Hang these items on hooks or organize them in ziplock bags with labeled compartments for beads.

Additionally, prevent the loss of larger items such as bags, sports equipment, and suitcases by establishing designated areas for each within your closet.

Get the right storage solutions

To complete your organization routine, you should look into getting the right storage solutions for all your clothes. For example, you can put some items on hangers and stack them vertically on a rack. This is not only effective – but it also looks good! Different storage options include shelves, drawers, cubes, and more – so take time to look around for something that will go with the design of your closet.

Prevent Your Closet From Getting Messy

When you organize your clothes by category, color, season, style/type of accessory (and more!) – you’ll end up with a beautifully decorated closet with everything in its right place.

The more organized your closet is, the less time you’ll spend looking for clothes. This will save you a lot of hassle in the long run and allow you to focus on other important tasks that need your attention! From there it won’t be difficult at all to keep things tidy so they look great when someone walks into them!
