If you are like many people staying at home, you might have some extra time on your hands. Why not take this opportunity to reorganize your closet?
1. Remove Everything and Clean the Closet
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.
2. Make the Most of Your Space
Get creative about maximizing your closet. Can you install extra shelves or use stackable containers to make the most of the vertical space? Can you hang handbags, belts, or shoes on the inside of the door?
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.
