Many people complain that they have nothing to wear, but a glance through their bedroom closets tell a different story. Home to year-round clothing, shoes and accessories, this storage area can easily get out of control if not reigned in now and then.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Boxes or bags
  • Hangers
  • Shelves
  1. Step 1

    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.

  2. Step 2

    Sort through shoes and keep only the ones that fit properly and that you still wear.

  3. Step 3

    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.

  4. Step 4

    Add hooks to the interior closet walls for hanging belts, scarves, ties, necklaces and bracelets.

  5. Step 5

    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.

Tips & Warnings
  • Store shoes in shoe boxes; they easily line up on shelves, and provide an orderly, uniform look.
  • Rotate clothing by season to create additional space in your bedroom closet for shoes, accessories and other items.
