We know how much of a chore it can be to clean out that closet. So we have put together 5 tips to help make that chore a little more manageable.

 

1. Remove It All

Yes, that's right. If you want to be thorough, the best way is to start from a blank canvas. So, take everything out of the close so youc an gain some perspective and see the space you have to work with. Trust us, I know it sounds daunting, but it will save you time and give you the best chance at being happy with the final result.

 

2. Organize By Colour

It's really unbelievable how a simple change of organization can have a huge effect on the overall look of the closet. Organizing your items by colour will help to simplify the space you are looking at. Instead of looking at a mish-mosh collage of clothing, your eyes are now focusing on a clear colour pattern.

 

3. Get Rid Of What You Don't Wear

I know this sounds simple, but even the most organized people have items in their closet they are hanging onto cause they "might wear it when I go out". Well, we're saying, if you haven't worn it in a year, you probably wont, so we say toss it. Of course, if it has sentimental meaning, that's a whole other story. We're mainly talking about that jumpsuit you haven't worn since 1987, probably time to let that one go ;)

 

4. Box Up Items

If you can't rbing yourself to get rid of anything like we suggested in #3, then at least fold it nicely and box it up. This will not only create less clutter, but will also be a good "out of sight, out of mind" test to see if you really need to keep those items in the first place.

 

5. Flip Through Those Hangers

You can continuously keep your closet in check and avoid the big "one over" by simply flipping through your hangers regularily. By doing this you can familiarize yourself with what's in there and of course begin to realize the items you just don't wear, that maybe would serve better being dropped off at the thrift store!!
