Just got back from vacation and realized I need to organize all my clothes/bags/shoes/accessories/jewelry/shoes, etc...I have those standard closets that have 2 doors that go from left to right w a shelft above. I usually put dresses, coats, skirts, sweaters, and some cotton shirts, I'm running out of room. Inside the closet on the floor are my other sweatshirts, sweatpants. On the top shelf, i only have about 6 boxes of shoes (only heels/stilletos; sneakers and sandals are downstairs in the garage), beach mat, beach bags. I have 9 drawers - section for handbags, 1 for jeans/pants/shorts/skirts/ 1 for tanks, camis, tees, 1 for swimsuit, swimwear, more tanks and tees, 1 for workout clothes and sweats, 1 for hats, and accessories, 1 for underwear/bra/spanx, 1 for tops - house clothes and the last one for bottoms -house clothes.
I just bought 3 sweater trays, a jewelry organizer, and those stands for necklaces...HELP! I need to re-organize this whole thing. Where do i put where?
Answer
I put coats in a coat closet, as they take up so much room. Remove the beach mat, and put it in the garage, and ditto for the beach bags.
Hang like things together, working from long to short. Example: I put slacks on hangers hanging straight down. They are about as long as my dresses, but dresses go in first, on the left, then pants, then capris. Next come long sleeved shirts with buttons, then long sleeved pullovers, then short sleeve shirts with buttons, then pullovers. I organize by color, darkest to the left. I hang sets together Example: a twin set--both pieces on the same hanger, unless they are sweaters, then I fold them together. I've seen hanging shelves which can work in a closet, hanging from the clothes rod.
There are 6 or so small shelves, where you can stack folded sweaters or T shirts, or handbags, or whatever.
I love Huggable Hangers by Joy Mangano, purchased from HSN.com. they come in a lot of colors, and I can definitely get more clothes in my closet now that I use those hangers. Target has them in black and linen colors.
I think you have the right system with your drawers. I would suggest that you only have as many clothes as will fit in your available space. Put out of season clothes in another place, even if it is in
a "Space Bag," stored in the garage.
We wear 20 percent of our wardrobe, 80 percent of the time. Depressing. isn't it?
