Whilst it may seem overwhelming at first, with a just a little motivation, some willingness to change some outdated habits, and a desire to achieve organizational bliss, these 5 brilliant hacks will have you mastering your closet organization in no time!

Keep only those pieces that you absolutely love and that you currently wear on a regular basis. If something doesn’t fit, has holes or stains, is out of season, or you just really don’t like it anymore, it needs to come out.

Just because it comes out right now doesn’t mean you have to throw it out or send it to Goodwill. There are some exceptions - for example; If you have clothes in a variety of sizes, some of which you may still really like and hope to fit into again, rather than allow them to take up valuable space in your closet, store them in a vacuum sealed bag or box ( but only one) to pull out when that time comes. Likewise, torn or stained items might just need a little TLC to get them good as new, and other items such as jeans or t-shirts, are great pieces to add to your craft supply closet.

Just because you are getting rid of a lot doesn’t mean you have to take a total loss. Clothes and accessories that are in good shape can be taken to a consignment shop (be sure to wash, iron, and hang any items you plan to consign). Or you can sell them via Craigslist, eBay, Facebook, or even a garage sale.

It is such a simple thing, but buying a limited quantity of really nice hangers can be the best motivation to finally weed out everything you don’t really love. It’s not a huge investment but psychologically, it makes all the difference. And frankly, even inexpensive clothes seem luxurious when hanging on nice hangers. You can buy an affordable GOOD set of 50 hangers from Target or Amazon usually for less than $30.

Set up a no-fail system that is simple to maintain. Color code your clothes hanging in your closet and on your shelves because it makes it much easier to see what you have and it is a great system for easy and quick matching of outfits in the morning. Have designated hooks for bags, belts or scarves. You can also label some small storage baskets for other accessories to keep them organized. Keeping closet organizers like laundry hamper in your closet as well is a smart idea and makes sorting laundry so much simpler!

Once you’ve managed to pare your closet down to the minimum and have kept the pieces you truly love - keep it that way! When buying something new, choose quality over quantity. Resist the urge to buy something simply because it is on sale. To avoid the old habit of buying just to buy, you are always better off buying ONE piece that you love than TEN items that are just “okay”.

It is a good idea to re-assess, re-sort, and re-evaluate your closet every few months. Once a new season begins double check to make sure that your items are still in good shape, that they still fit, and that they are free of stains and holes and you are still happy with them. If necessary, pull seasonal items out of storage to add to the rotation, and store any items that are no longer seasonally appropriate.
