Organizing your closet can feel like the most daunting task but once you have it done it
feels super good, because your closet is the first space you visit in the morning and the
last space that you visit at night because you're putting clothes away, you're putting
you're pajamas, right?!
So you want it to be a pretty space, space that gives you energy.
So I want to share with you a quick few hacks that I use to make this closet space pretty
and efficient.
Hi, welcome back to Ada Style Minute, thank you for watching.
For those of you that don't know me, my name is Ada, I'm a designer, stylist and style
coach and for those of you who do, welcome back.
Thanks for watching.
Today I want to share with you a few hacks that I personally use to make my closet space
pretty so when I walk in it gives me energy and it just sets this creative mode, because
your outfits and what you wear are self expression, so you wanna be able to walk into a space
that gives more energy and makes you just more creative.
First of all, this is kind of crazy but I actually painted the interior of my closet,
so of course it depends on your closet and how it's, I've painted this pretty coral pink
color.
I know yellow is a color that is very creative, purple... whatever color that makes you happy
is a great color to paint the interior walls of your closet.
I mean... it's just a closet, you can kind go crazy.
My second hack it's just to make more uniform.
Decide on a hanger and make it more uniform through out.
so at least the foundation of your closet is really pretty and uniform and then when
you bring in different colors and patterns and with the clothing... it's not like you have different
color hangers and different color clothing.
It's this nice foundation that's more uniform and then you have your clothes.
I have this hangers that I really love, they're thin, they're very efficient so if you have
a smaller closet everything stacks really nicely along the way and also I like the fact
that things won't slip off as easily on this.
You can get them on Target, Homegoods, Amazon...
Also, another thing is... using drawer space. I personally love to use drawers in my closet.
I have a small space where actually hanger items up then I use drawers for my
capsule collections.
If you've been following me for a while I'm really in to capsule collections, everything
in my closet fits me and flatters me and can mix and match into outfits and I
have everything organized per drawers so I have one drawer for my workout wear, one for
my weekends wear, my athleisure wear, my work wear, my video wear... so everything is in
a drawer and the way that I like to fold items is not stacked but actually so I can see them
across and I have an image to show you.
The other thing that I use in my closet just to make it pretty is, again, I only have things
in my closet that I'm actually wearing in my capsule collection, everything else I stored
way.
I like to stored away in nicer boxes.
I do have these vacuum seal boxes that I put away and put into tubs, but I also use these boxes from
Ikea to put away some of my jewelry that I'm currently not wearing, belts, I also have
belts in these medium sizes ones and then I have this larger ones that I use for scarves,
so these are like any scarves that I am not currently wearing
I go ahead and put them away in these boxes and they just look pretty, I mean they are round,
maybe square is more space efficient but I just like they way these look.
And then I use this cloth bag for anything that is leather, for handbags.
Belts, specially leather, dries up, so you wanna put them away so you protect them.
Anything that I am currently wearing in a capsule collection, I have this scarf' hanger
on my door, and I have these little hooks that I use for belts and then I have my scarves
that I put on here.
But again, this can feel up to the max, so what I do, again, just make sure that I put
everything from off season away so I am only looking for within the season.
And the reason being is because maybe the scarf matches what I am wearing in the fall or the
winter, but maybe the weight of it, the fabric, doesn't necessarily goes right with the fall
or winter kind of heavier look, and so I like to organize things by season, I put everything
on hold and I like to bring it out and refresh it again.
Then I use these for whatever I am currently wearing, so I don't kind of weight it down
with everything else.
Also, it is nice for your mind to kind of renew things.
So you put things away and when you pull it out again, it is like Wow!
That's new!
I like to put things away and then... "Oh look, remember that?"
And I get all exited again.
I do the same things with clothes, jewelry, and accessories..Now, when I put them away
I don't put them away to far, like in the garage necessarily.
I just use a vertical space.
So I put shelves on the very top of my closet and then I put things that way and then I label
everything on the outside.
So again, labeling anything is important. You know how you
do that with kids..
I don't know why I am using these references but like 6-12 months and then you put them away and then you bring
them back for the next kid.
Well, the same thing weight fluctuation, maybe you get rid of anything that's extreme, or if you are like
a size ten, you get rid of size 3 or size 20 and then you just go with sizes 8,9,10,11,12..so
those are the sizes that you want to keep and you put away the sizes and then you label
it.
Anything that you are wearing for the season, in 3 to 4 months, that's what fits you and
flatters you and coordinates really nicely.
Those are some style hacks for you, I have another video coming about how exactly I organize
things into capsule collection so be sure to be in the look out for that.
So thank you so much for watching, if you enjoy this video, give it a thumbs up!
