9. Small to big
This is a no-brainer, if you have a small item between two big items, it will get lost! After years of color coordinating I started occasion and size coordinating. It makes a lot more sense space wise. First I have my jackets, then sweaters, winter dresses, night dresses, day dresses and then tops. I don’t have too much so color coordination didn’t work for me anymore even tho it’s very pretty 😉
10. Have a system
Nowadays you have apps to organize your clothes! For me, it’s too much for now, but maybe one day.
A cool possibility is to take a picture of all your items and outfits. Then, in the morning, you have it visible quickly instead of trying to put up an outfit while in a rush.
Another simple idea is to make your outfits in advance. This will help keep things organized since you won’t be stressed to look for certain items or try all of your closet in the morning.

14 Feb 2018Thank you, Danielle! My apartment is so weird, it’s fairly big but no storage lol. So I had to get creative.

7 Feb 2018When we first moved in to our home closet space was one of our issues too and the first one we had to find a solution for! We installed shelving and bought dressers/side tables. I love those hangers, I need them to free up more space!

14 Feb 2018Hey Joline, can you believe it took me two years before I thought about putting shelves inside my wardrobe? Lol! These hangers are defiantly a life saver as well.

7 Feb 2018I think in every single apartment I’ve lived in, I have installed more shelves into all the closets and added shoe racks and extra storage. It’s sad but I don’t want to get rid of investment pieces. Love your solutions especially the cube boxes!

14 Feb 2018Hey Angela, I can’t believe it took me so long to put shelves!
Thank you, I really like the cubes.

7 Feb 2018Good tips, next year my older one will live alone and I am starting to tell her how to arrange her stuff, borrowing your tips to give her.

7 Feb 2018That’s one thing I do love about Texas…. the saying that everything is bigger holds true even in the closets! I feel like I have another bedroom off of my bathroom because of the size of the closet. But I have lived places with tiny closets and it’s definitely a challenge.

7 Feb 2018Than you for the tips! I have to share my closet with my husband so these will Deerfield come in handy.

7 Feb 2018Aaah everything is so beautifully and nearly organized. Thanks for the tips. I wish my home looks this neat everyday.

8 Feb 2018I definitely have bins and things for smaller items. It helps to be able to put them away like that instead of hanging.

8 Feb 2018I have to agree that having the right hangers can help minimize the amount of space you use. I mean, who wants to narrow down on the number of dresses they have? 😉

8 Feb 2018All excellent tips, but my favorite is “have less”! We recently moved houses and I couldn’t believe how much clothes I have, and the worst part is I don’t use most of them!

9 Feb 2018I switched to space saving hangers and it’s changed my life. <3 I was able to crunch down to one side of my closet and add drawers so I could get rid of my dresser. SO MUCH BETTER!
