Clean & Sort

Start by taking everything out of your closet. And while the closet is empty, take advantage by cleaning the walls, shelving and floor.

Go through all of your clothes and decide what to keep, give away or just get rid of. If you haven't seen it or worn it in a year, get rid of it, whether you donate it to charity or take it to a consignment shop.

Don't worry about when they come back in style or when you lose the weight to fit in it again. If you want to lose weight then when you do, treat yourself to something new.

If you have to think about something for more than a minute it probably is not worth keeping.

Ask your self:

• Would I buy this item again?
• Does it look good on me and do I feel good wearing it?
And,
• is it to clean and take care of?

Try on the clothing that is left or that you are not sure about.

Put them back in the closet and sort by type (and by season), all dress pants, dresses, jeans, etc. and then sort by color.

Color coding your clothes is a bedroom closet organization tips that will make finding things easier and getting dressed a snap.

Store your most-used items in plain sight, less-used items below, and least-used items high. Remove and fold out of season clothing for storage in suitcases or high on the shelves.

Hangars

Recycle the wire hangars that you get from your dry cleaners and instead use hangars that are coordinated. Using all the same type of hangar will give you a clean look and help you stay organized.

Now if you really want to treat yourself use cedar or wood hangars. They will help keep your clothing in shape and save you time ironing. You can use cotton hangars for your delicate items.

But until you can replace them all, the thick plastic hangars are inexpensive and will still make your closet neater and still force your clothes to hang farther apart causing fewer wrinkles.

Space

Use vertical space (both above and below the closet rod) to store more.

There are advantages to folding your shirts and slacks if you are short on space. The space occupied by hanging shirts on individual hangars easily takes up as much space as twenty folded shirts stacked vertically and more.

Especially fold your sweaters. Otherwise, they could lose their shape on hangars, then put them on shelves, categorized by color for quick retrieval.

Bedroom closet organization tips for Shoes & Accessories

Get rid of all your shoes that are worn, you don't wear or that doesn’t fit and place in boxes, cubbies, shelves, or a store-bought hanging shoe organizer or shoe rack of some kind just not on the floor.

You can also place shoe racks on the backs of doors, not only for shoes but for small accessories like belts and scarves. This will provide an obvious place for you to see them and be easily accessible.

Hooks are also easily accessible, work for most things and are inexpensive. Place hooks or even a peg board on the wall to hang belts’ scarves and tote bags.

Baskets and hat boxes also work for your loose items or odds and ends. Use a combination of storage items that are attractive and that fit your different needs.

Add drawers for folded items, and add shelf dividers to keep stacked items neat. Stuff purses and shoes with tissue paper to help them retain their shape.
