7 Steps For Organizing Your Closet

1  Empty
Empty out your entire closet. You might even think about getting rid of all those old metal hangers.

2  Clean & Paint?
How does it look? This might be the time to dust and clean the walls, floor and shelves before you put everything back. Consider a fresh coat of paint as well.

3  Throw Away & Donate
Before they go back in the closet, examine each piece for stains, holes, or just pieces that are tired and worn out. If they're not worth donating, and you're not using it for painting or yard work, then it's time to let go and throw them away. Now you're down to the "good stuff." Think hard about whether you actually wear each piece. If you haven't worn something in the past 12 months (through all 4 seasons), because you don't love it or it doesn't fit well, then it's time to donate. There are a few exceptions like special event clothes, but its time to get rid of those clothes you HOPE will fit again someday. 

4  Hang
Hang up everything that you have room for. We recommend organizing by at least two seasons, then type of clothing (pants, tops, dresses, etc.), and then by color. You'll find things much more easily. Maybe invest in some new, no-slip, slim hangers to maximize your space. 

5  Fold & Roll
Fold sweaters and place on shelves or in drawers so they'll keep their shape. Roll up casual and workout items like t-shirts and yoga/sweat pants and place side by side in drawers. The one you're looking for will be much easier to spot.

6  Relocate
Leave everything that isn't clothing or accessories out of your closet. Your closet will be much more manageable!
