Purchase Drawer Organizers

The Container Store and Amazon both have numerous drawer and storage organizer options. Decide what you will put in each of your clothes drawers. The clothes that you reach for the most should be in the middle dresser drawers that you can pull out easily. Purchase sock boxes, lingerie drawer organizers, and dresser drawer dividers for each drawer based on its function.
Step 2

Create Your Own Drawer Organizers

If you can't find drawer organizers that suit your needs or want to save money, you can very easily create your own drawer organizers. Take shoeboxes and cover them with pretty contact paper. Use these to create sock and lingerie boxes that you can place in your drawers. Cut down cereal boxes to the height of your drawer and cover with contact paper to make your own hosiery organizer. Cut down empty, dry milk cartons and cover with contact paper to create more storage organizers.

Empty out all your drawers and decide how you are going to organize them. Line each drawer with contact paper. Place all your storage organizers and dividers in each drawer neatly.
Step 4

Fold Your Clothes and Place Them in the Organizers

Fold and organize all your clothes and place them neatly in each of your dividers and storage organizers. Make sure that you don't overstuff each drawer and can easily see where everything is going. Always put the clothes back in the same drawer after taking them out of the wash.
