An Organized Closet Makes Life Easier
Imagine waking up in the morning and being frazzled and hurried before you even walk out the door. Does this sound familiar to you? If you have a closet that is in disarray, you probably feel like this all the time. If you have to dig through piles of clean and dirty clothes every morning, it is time to make a change. A messy closet can affect more than just your morning routine. If your morning starts off rough, it can set the tone for the rest of your day. You may have to skip breakfast or you may miss your carpool or bus. If you are digging through piles of clothing every morning, you may show up not looking your best. It will not take long for co-workers and supervisors to notice you are not looking your best. If you are are coping with a closet mess, it is time to get things in order. There are simple, affordable ways to take control. Start by making sure there is ample lighting in the space so you can see to work, and so later, you will have no trouble viewing your wardrobe. You may have fluorescent lighting in the space, so replace any T8 Ballast that are broken, or get Replacement Ballast if needed. This ensures you will have no problem seeing your workspace while you assemble an organized and efficient closet space.
The next step is to clear everything out. Sort items into piles that you want to keep and that you want to throw away or donate. Once you know what will be left to store in the space, you can choose the proper storage equipment. Determine how many hanging garments you have so you can have enough hangers on hand. Consider multiple garment hangers so you can save space and keep clothing organized. Store seasonal items so they are fresh and clean when their season rolls around again.
Next, fix any buttons, tears, stains, or rips on clothing before putting it back in your closet. There is no sense hanging up items that need repairing.
The final step for closet organizing is to determine storage for the accessories. There are plenty of shoe storage options. Many experts recommend giving each pair a plastic box to keep them dust-free, and then placing a photo of the shoes on the outside of the box so they are easy to see. Others think shoe racks and over the door shoe bags work just fine.
Your decision is personal, so determine how best you like to display your shoes. The same is true for purses, hair accessories, and scarves. Once you have an organized closet, your mornings will be enjoyable.
