Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
- Boxes or bags
- Hangers
- Shelves
Step1
Go through all clothing items in the closet placing each piece in one of three categories: keep, throw away or give away. Remove all items from the closet that won't be kept and place in boxes or bags for donation or throwing away.
Step2
Sort through shoes and keep only the ones that fit properly and that you still wear.
Step3
Unify the space by choosing one type of matching hanger for clothes. Identical wooden hangers or the same shade of a plastic variety are good choices.
Step4
Add hooks to the interior closet walls for hanging belts, scarves, ties, necklaces and bracelets.
Step5
Devise a system for organizing remaining items. Grouping clothing by season or type, such as shirts/pants/dresses/suits can help. Placing shoes according to use, such as exercise, casual and formal is helpful as well.
