Most closets can use some cleaning while they are being organized. Freshening up the space will keep your clothes smelling good and give you the satisfaction of creating a nice, well-maintained space. Pull out each item in your closet and make piles according to categories. Your categories will probably include shirts, pants, jackets, shoes, belts, bags, and scarves.
As you find pieces of clothing that you can get rid of, separate them into one pile you will donate and one pile you will discard. This will help free up space. Anything that you want to keep but don’t use frequently can be transferred to storage. Finally, vacuum the closet and wipe down the shelves.

One interesting option is to double hang your clothes by installing a second bar underneath the already existing one. In this way, you can hang two rows of short items: one on top and the other on the bottom.

When you return your items to the closet, keep things that belong to the same category together. When choosing places for your things, consider how to best care for them.
