Declutter closet with this chart

First things first. Before you go on an organizing spree in your closet (or decluttering any space in your home), take the time to weed out what you can. Even if it’s just a shirt or two, that’s better than nothing.

The chart below is perfect guidance to help you. Gotta say, the “will you honestly ever repair a hole or missing button” question is the one that gets me every single time. (via Yoga by Candace)

Hang twice the number of shirts with this hanger hack

Double up hangers with this simple trick using soda can tabs to free space in your closet. (via The Shabby Creek Cottage)

Have multiple sections to hang clothes

Most closets come with one rod, but just stick another tension rod* in a lower section of your closet to fit more clothing.

You might even be able to add a third section for kids’ clothing. (via 320 Sycamore Blog)

Think vertical for bulky clothing

Jeans, sweatshirts and thick pants take up way too much space in drawers. But you don’t want them taking up prime real estate on hangers.

Instead, store them in a vertical hanging organizer* to keep them all together. (via Ask Anna Moseley)

Get easy access to scarves with the one hanger fits all method

If you’d rather not have to sort through piles of scarves, use these kind of rings* on a hanger.

That way, you can easily go through your scarves without it being messy. (via From the Desk of SMCP)

Repurpose a tie hanger

Tie hangers* aren’t just for ties. They’re perfect for tank tops or belts too. (via Life Design Craft)

Frame your stuff

Here’s a nice upcycling project to do. Paint an old photo frame, mount to your wall, and use it to keep accessories like your sunglasses or other smaller knick knacks together on display. (via Architecture 'n Design)

Make use of that door

Affix a towel bar to the back of the closet door space, then use these hooks* to hang purses, jewelry, scarves, belts, or other flatter things.

Have a sliding door instead? You can easily mount this rack* behind your bedroom door as well. (via Remodelaholic)

Sort your clutches

Store your clutches upright in a letter organizer so they’re easy to grab and go. (via I Heart Organizing)

Keep shoes off the floor

Tension rods* make it a cinch to “customize” your shoe display. All you need are two per “shelf.”

Just remember to stagger the heights for heels (the back one will sit higher) and keep them level for flats. (via Pin image)

Level up your closet organization

And if you’re feeling ultra motivated, then kick your closet organization a notch with this infographic.

Love the tip to keep hangers facing one way, and as you wear a piece, to switch those hangers to face the other way to help you determine how often you wear certain pieces.

A nice reality check when it comes time to decide which pieces to part with the next time you declutter your closet. (via Remodelaholic)
