An organized closet seems like the perfect dream. You feel thrilled whenever you see your clothing items and accessories arranged perfectly. But, Alas, that happiness does not last very long. Within a week, the closets become a nightmare with overflowing shelves and piles of clothes stacked ruggedly.
We always ask ourselves, how does it get so messy so quickly? Well, remember the time when you threw back the hoodie in the closet instead of hanging it? Or when you bought that adorable flowy top but didn't take out that old one that you have not worn in years? You will get your answers. Organizing a closet is a chore. It takes much effort. But if you plan and make a checklist, then it is easy to tackle such a task.
The following are five pro tips to organize your closet:
#1 Start Small
After binge-watching 'tidying up with Marie Condo,' you might want to clean your entire closet in one go. We suggest you don't get too ambitious. It is not fun when you are still on the floor five hours later, surrounded by clothes and shoes and other items in your closet.
It is best to start small. Take a small section of the closet and organize it first. In this way, you will get the job done quicker. It will be less overwhelming for you as well. For instance, you can first take care of the scarves or shoes.
#2 Empty The Closet
An empty closet is like a blank canvas. It gives you ideas on the closet look you want to achieve. It is also a great way to de-clutter. You can divide the items that you want to keep and the ones you can donate.
Experts recommend asking yourself three questions: Are you emotionally attached to the article? Did you wear the item in the last six months? And does it still fit you? If the answer to all the questions is no, it is time to take the article out of your closet.
Another thing that you would want to do is to separate the winter and summer clothes. You don't want your jacket and coats to take all that space during summers. We recommend storing these seasonal items separately to make more room for new items. Renting an affordable self storage unit will enable you to keep your belongings safe and secure. That way, you will create more space in your closet, but you can have additional storage to keep items that you don't need at the moment.
#3 Match Your Hangers
We all have random hangers in our closets of different colors and sizes. It is time to replace them and make an upgrade on the hangers. You want to have the same color and style hangers.
Another thing that we recommend is that the hangers are following the same direction. It could be inwards or outwards. It does not sound as much, but it makes a difference. Experts swear by the thin, velvet hangers. These hangers have multiple benefits. They are not only aesthetically pleasing, take less space, and have an anti-slip feature.
#4 Invest In Storage Organizer
Storage organizers are great when you want things on the front. They help to make things more accessible to you. For example, an over-the-door-organizers helps you have your shoes organized and displayed. You won't have to go through boxes in the morning to find the shoe. It looks great and also saves you time. You can also install hooks on the door to hang your pendants and necklaces. It adds extra space and glam to your storage.
Before running off to buy an organizer, make sure that you do your research. The organizer that you love should be easy to install. It should showcase your style and should also serve the purpose.
#5 Personalize Your Closet
The closet should not give you anxiety. It can help to elevate your mood. Consider it as an essential element of the room. You can add décor to add flair to your closet. You can add sculptures, books, and paintings. If you love jewelry, you can make a small gallery wall to showcase your collection. We recommend adding your favorite scent to the closet. It makes your clothes smell fresh. If there is not sufficient lighting, add warm color lights. Lights never do you wrong when you want to add glam.

There are many ways to organize it, but you need to find a way that works best for you. With the help of the tips mentioned above, you can easily make your closet Pinterest worthy.
