If you're like most people, your closets are crammed full of clothes, and yet somehow it
seems like you never have anything to wear.
You might be surprised to learn that the problem isn't a lack of clothes, but rather a lack
of organization.
Welcome to Jansen's DIY.
In this video, we will discuss 20 Smart Clothing Organization Hacks.
#1.
Invest in Matching Hangers Matching hangers is a great way to keep your
closet organized and looking neat.
A set of matching hangers not only looks good, but it also means your clothes will hang evenly
and won't easily slide off.
This means less time spent picking up clothes from the floor and more time enjoying a tidy
closet.
#2.
Allocate Hanging Space for Long and Short Items.
There are two ways to organize your closet to keep your clothes wrinkle-free.
You can install two rods at different heights or use hangers with hooks.
The first way is to hang long dresses on the higher rod and shorter items on the lower
rod.
The second way is to hang multiple items on one hanger, like skirts and trousers.
This will save space and keep your clothes neat.
#3.
Add a Clothing Rack to the Corner of Your Room.
A clothing rack is a great way to save space in your closet while still being able to show
off your style.
If you add a rack to the corner of your room, you can easily hang more items and not have
them taking up too much space in your closet.
By displaying your favorite clothes on the rack, you can create a focal point that will
catch the eye of anyone who visits your room.
#4.
Label Everything.
If you label your bins, baskets, and drawers, you will always know where to find what you
need.
This is especially helpful when it comes to organizing baby clothes.
You can put a label on each drawer with the corresponding size.
This way, you will save time and frustration.
It will also help to keep your home looking neat and tidy.
#5.
Keep Seasonal Items Down Low.
It can be difficult to store seasonal items, especially if you don't have a lot of space.
However, there is an easy way to keep everything organized.
Put the seasonal items in baskets and store them on shelves.
In the fall, put the baskets with cold weather gear on lower shelves and the baskets with
warm weather gear on higher shelves.
Then, when the seasons change, simply swap the baskets.
#6.
Add a Dresser.
By placing a dresser inside your closet, you can create extra storage for clothing, shoes,
and accessories.
If you have a small closet, look for a dresser with drawers that are shallow in depth.
This will help you to maximize the storage space without making the dresser too bulky.
#7.
Color Coordinate.
A well-coordinated wardrobe can help you get dressed quickly in the morning.
This is helpful because it can make sure your outfit looks balanced and put-together.
It can also save you time when you're running late and need to get dressed quickly.
#8.
Learn Better Folding Techniques.
It can be really helpful to organize your things by type.
This way, you can find what you need without having to search through everything.
You can also make it easier on yourself by learning how to fold and hang clothes in an
organized way, and using storage containers to keep everything together and in good condition.
#9.
Hang a Closet Organizer with Shelves.
A hanging closet organizer is a great way to use the space in your closet.
You can use it if you have a lot of clothes or just a few.
It's easy to install.
You just hang it from a closet rod using the hooks that come with it.
Plus, it's an affordable way to add storage to your closet.
#10.
Hang Jewelry.
Jewelry can often create more chaos than it is worth.
This is especially true when necklaces, earrings, and bracelets are tangled together.
A hanging jewelry organizer can help to solve this problem by keeping your jewelry organized
and easy to access.
In addition, a jewelry organizer can protect your jewelry from damage by keeping it safely
stored away when not in use.
#11.
Use Acrylic File Dividers.
Acrylic file dividers can be used to separate papers in an office, but they can also be
used to organize small items like clutches, belts, and scarves.
You can put the dividers on a shelf or dresser top and then put your accessories in the desired
compartment.
This will help protect your accessories from damage by keeping them safe from spills and
other accidents.
#12. Make Room for a Hamper.
A well-organized home means that you have a well-ordered life.
If you don't want your clothes to pile up on the floor, put a hamper in a convenient
spot.
This will make it easy for you to quickly and easily sort your laundry into darks and
lights.
Having two hampers can also help to prevent colors from bleeding, keeping your clothes
looking their best.
#13.
Use Clear Glass or Acrylic Shelves to Make It Easier to Spot Things.
Shelving and drawer fronts made of clear glass or acrylic can help you find what you need
when everything is hidden away.
This is a great option for items that are used frequently, such as jewelry or spices.
If you're worried about things getting dusty, simply dust the shelves with a microfiber
cloth on a regular basis.
#14.
Maximize Every Inch of Space.
Wall space can be a great place to store small items.
This includes hooks and shelves to store hats, necklaces, scarves, ties, and belts.
This will free up space in your closet or dresser.
It will also make it easier for you to find the items you need.
Additionally, using the walls can help prevent clutter from taking over your home.
#15.
Use Over-the-Door Organizers for Hard-to-Fold Items
If you have a lot of items that are hard to fold, like swaddles, blankets, scarves, or
belts, use an organizer to put them in.
This will help keep your closet tidy and organized.
It will also make it easier for you to find what you need when you're in a hurry.
#16.
Use a Lazy Susan.
A Lazy Susan can be a great way to organize your beauty products or grooming supplies.
It is a spinny thing that will make it easy for you to find what you need without having
to search through everything.
This can be really helpful, especially if you are in a hurry.
Plus, it will look more organized and neater than if everything is just scattered around
the bathroom.
#17.
Add an Island.
Adding an island to your walk-in closet is a great way to add extra storage and functionality
to the space.
Islands can provide a lot of extra storage, as well as a flat surface to put things on.
If you're short on space, you can find small rolling carts that can be tucked into a corner
when not in use.
#18.
Add a vanity.
You can add more storage to your closet by adding a vanity.
If you have a small space, a small corner vanity might be the perfect solution.
Or if you want something really special, consider an antique piece that adds both beauty and
function to your closet.
#19.
Raise the Bar(s) Another way to maximize your storage potential
is to raise the top clothing rod in your closet.
This will free up usable space below that you can use for drawers or a freestanding
dresser.
This will help you better organize your clothing and give your bedroom a more polished look.
#20.
Add a Second Rod.
Maximize your closet space by adding a second rod.
This is especially useful if you have a lot of long items such as dresses or coats.
Another way to add more hanging space is to buy an expander that hangs from your existing
closet rod.
This is a quick and easy way to add more space without having to install a new organizational
system.
These are just a few of the many ways to get your clothing and accessories organized.
With a little bit of effort, you can create a system that works for you and makes getting
dressed in the morning a breeze.
