5 Top Closet Organization Tips And Tricks

It doesn’t matter if you have a huge walk-in closet or a regular-sized wardrobe - good closet organization is important and attainable in both.

Nowadays the majority of people have an abundance of clothing. Seasonal sales and inviting layouts of online stores make it really easy to frequently update our wardrobes. However, even if you’re an avid fashion lover, you probably still want your clothing collection to be easy to navigate. Knowing the most useful closet organization tips will make your daily routine much more streamlined.

At SPIC AND SPAN. we keenly believe that having a clean house is as important as keeping it well-organized. Check out some smart closet organization hacks below.

You can keep a well-organized closet both when you're a fashionista and when you have a more utilitarian approach to fashion.

Declutter and evaluate your possessions

Some people believe that we use 20% of our items 80% of the time. While this number might vary from person to person, you probably find yourself wearing your favorite items of clothing, and ignoring the ones you’re not that keen on. If you’re overwhelmed by the sheer amount of clothes you own, it’s time to declutter. You can resell, donate, or recycle items that are beyond repair.

Sort your items by frequency of use

This tip might be an obvious one, but it’s still essential. Effective closet organization entails keeping your most worn items in the most accessible spot. After all, nobody wants to dig through piles of special event blouses to find their favorite sweater.

Make your most worn items of clothing easily accessible.

Store away seasonal items

If you live in Germany, you know that the weather changes quite dramatically throughout a year. There’s no point in having warm winter jackets within easy reach when it’s 30 Celsius degrees outside. You can use putting away out-of-season clothing as an opportunity to declutter.

Find a designated place for each category

If each category of clothing belongs in a specific place, it’s much easier to find what you’re currently looking for. Store your tops, bottoms, underwear, loungewear, etc. separately.

If it's easier for you, you can plan your closet organization journey in advance.

Utilize practical storage solutions for transparent closet organization

Don’t hesitate to acquire boxes, drawer dividers, and garment bags to make your wardrobe perfectly arranged. Not only is proper closet organization satisfying - treating your belongings with care will extend your clothing’s longevity.

Remember to store your clothes accordingly. For instance, knits should be folded rather than hung to prevent them from stretching.

A clean home makes your life easier and more pleasant. Ensuring your closet and your entire home are well organized will streamline your daily routine. For more articles on cleaning recommendations from our experts please check our blog regularly.
