Tips for Closet Organizing-
by Heidi Larkin
Clear it out-
Take everything out, and clean closet. Make piles of keep or Donate.
(Donate means it doesn’t fit, never ware, doesn’t match, doesn’t make you feel great. Or haven’t worn it in a year.)
If you are not sure, flag the hanger, if you don’t use it that season-out.

Utilize every corner of closet-
Shoe racks on back of doors, floor, and interior walls. Use belt hangers with multiple hoods for camis, bras or scarves.

Hangers-
Get the right kinds. Sturdy wood for suites. Get rid of metal hangers and dry cleaner bags. Sort clothes by color and types.
Put what you wear the most at eye level. (Leaves seasonal things higher or lower.)
DO- make an “archive” with clothes bags for things you can come back to.

Fold Sweaters-
Sore in sweater boxes or folded on shelves

Use Boxes or a burrow for small things-
Put swimsuits or turtle necks in boxes higher or lower, to rotate with the season.
Put socks, underwear, scarves,
Keep boots, out door gear in the front hall. Or mud room.

Too many clothes-
Consider boxes under bed, attic to change out seasonally (Maternity)
Extra ideas for other closets-
Linen Closets, store folded sets of bed linens inside one of the set’s pillowcases.
Table linens- best store hanging from a skirt hanger in a closet
Build shelving for bins and baskets
Eliminate # of coats in a coat closet
Affix key racks
Organize supplies
Replace on long rod with 3 short ones. (one for dresses, 2 for shirts/pants.)
