Organize the closet It is one of the best activities we should dedicate ourselves to to tidy up our clothes, but also our ideas. The perfect opportunity, together with changing our wardrobe, to find a place for all those objects that we have accumulated over the years (and that also end up under the bed) and that, every time, we leave in a corner in the hope of a new trend, a different inspo or just the right inspiration.
In fact, organizing the wardrobe often coincides with the decluttering time that we need to give ourselves for reorganize the wardrobe and have everything in its place. The best way, as Marie Kondo teaches, to make peace with your “self” and your home.
And if the wardrobe in question is overflowing with clothes, and memories attached, in pure style Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and The City, It is good to know that to have a tidy wardrobe it is better to opt for a decidedly more minimal version where the head shots, at most, can be contained inside anti-dust boxes. In fact, it is the accessories that make the difference
And so here we are, minimal, sober, charged and lethal enough to be capable of say goodbye to the superfluous without too much fuss. Here are three moves to prepare your wardrobe for the revolution and the best accessories for having a wonderfully organized wardrobe.
How to Prepare Your Closet for New Organization
Before finding a new space for sweaters, t-shirts and the like in your home closet, it’s good to know that to start off on the right foot you need to clean out everything, in the true sense of the word. And once you’ve done that, proceed step-by-step:
Yes, it’s a painful and time-consuming move, but it has to be done. Empty your closet completely. putting everything on the bed what it contains. Everything, don’t cheat. Also remove the boxes, open them and empty them. As for the clothes, remove them from the hangers and place them down keeping the seasonal division. If it doesn’t exist, create it.
It seems impossible, but in everyone’s (and I mean everyone’s) closet there is something that just shouldn’t be there. Old shopping bags, notes, fabric tote bags and so on… All of this must be eliminated: every space must be rationalized and, at the same time, must be dedicated only to clothing or accessories.
How long has it been since you saw it like this? Take this opportunity to give all the interiors a good clean, starting with the dust removal then move on to cleaning with a new clean, damp cloth lightly sprayed with a delicate, scented detergent. It is also good not to forget to eliminate any type of residue and, once done, add a freshener for wardrobes and drawers.
Put feelings aside and try to be more rational: try everything (or almost everything) and understand what really still suits you, what deserves another chance and what, instead, can find a new path. There is no other way to understand if you still like everything you have in your closet, if it still fits you and if it makes you feel good. Everything that does not meet these criteria can be donated or sold on second-hand platforms, for example Vinted.
A trivial action, that of dividing clothes into categories, but fundamental to reorganize your wardrobe in the right way. Once you have identified the macro categories, without the need to go into too much detail, you will just need to understand what should be hung in the closet, what should be placed in the drawers and so on. This will not only allow you to put everything in order immediately, but maintain this organization over time.
Accessories for organizing
Hangers, boxes, elements and dividers: wardrobe accessories are important to maintain the right organization. So it is better to eliminate the laundry wire hangers and the old recycled boxes, but try to focus on the quality and efficiency of each new purchase.
They are not only useful for keeping your wardrobe in order, but they are also essential for keeping your most precious items in the best possible condition. The wooden ones, which never go out of style, can host different leaders between them thanks to their sturdy structure: ideal for sweaters, trousers or dresses that deserve the right attention. For blouses and tank tops, however, it is better to opt for space-saving velvet hangers: light and thin, they allow the right friction to avoid slipping impalpable garments.
Very elegant in the wooden version, they are essential for hanging skirts and preventing them from losing their crease. By sliding the clips on the bar, they can also be set on a mini sizeperfect for hanging the most elegant trousers. If you want to optimize space, you can also choose a multiple version where you can put more items on a single hanger.
This type of hanger is essential for correctly hanging coats, jackets and parkas. In fact, to stay in shape, these garments need a hanger with broad shoulder that ensures the correct support and allows them to stay in shape. Since they are equipped with a bar, they are also ideal for completes.
We chose the wooden one because it is more beautiful and durable than the plastic ones and because it is quite solid to balance even the heaviest of garments. It has a textured handle that we love and is so elegant that it looks good even when it’s hanging on the bar among our favorite garments.
The buckle rests on the upper part, making it very easy to retrieve the belts clearly visible and arranged on this special hanger. A great idea for take up little space and don’t relegate belts to some box stuffed into the farthest corners of the closet.
Rolled up in drawers they don’t look very good, also because it’s the best way to crumple them and forget about them. This hanger with hooks is nothing short of perfect, but be careful not to overcrowd it: Every scarf must have its place. In fact, by overlapping them, you will return to the much-hated crumpled effect.
These vertical containers are very convenient for giving bags all the space they deserve and enjoying their view, which never hurts. In this way they can also be stored correctly preventing chafing which risk ruining the surface.
If you were looking for the perfect idea to keep your jewelry in order, here it is. These bars they stick together on the walls of the wardrobe or on the inside of the doors and are designed to always have earrings, bracelets and necklaces in order and available. You will also save the time spent untangling the knots of the chains (there are those who go crazy and those who lie).
There are those who hang their shirts and those who pile them up. But we, who want an organized closet, thought that the best solution was to entrust them to this folded t-shirt organizer. It stores neatly on closet shelves and allows you to find the perfect shirt for every outfit without too much effort. Brilliant.
Another idea for equipping wardrobe shelves personalizing the spaces according to your needs. With these dividers you can create the area for shirts, bags, sweaters, but also arrange in order, if necessary, the household linen that always tends to create so much confusion.
There are no more mid-seasons, ok, but between winter and summer something moves. Of course. Here are some perfect boxes to contain shirts, sweaters, t-shirts and everything you need to store between one season and another. There are those with zip and front window to have everything under control or the stackable ones that They also allow you to take a single item when needed. Very convenient.
Drawers can be a very messy place where objects and clothes are scattered and mixed together in a crazy chaos. To avoid this, you can use these modular dividers that are ideal for redefine spaces and give drawers the tidy look we’ve always dreamed of. Cheap and insanely efficient.
Slips, socks and other very small things that we want to see neatly arranged look great in these boxes with Integrated mini dividers. They can be stored in drawers as well as on wardrobe shelves to always have everything within reach and well-organised. In this case too, they are stackable: a space-saving idea not to be underestimated.
Wired or battery operated. Single light points or strips. LED lights come in many different types and, although they are never taken into consideration, they are a key element for a well-organized closet. They are easy to install and allow you to see everything at a glance and keep everything in the right way without too much effort. Our favorites are those with sensors, but there are also those that can be activated manually.
