When you can’t find your shoes under the pile on the closet floor, it’s time to organize. Although it requires work upfront, it saves time in the long run: Clothes are easier to find and they stay neater.
Beth Dunphy, president of Custom Closet Designers in Mogadore, Ohio, has these organizing suggestions:
– Make sure the contents are visible, so you can see what clothes are available. The closet also should be flexible to adapt as your wardrobe changes.
– Group clothing by length to gain usable floor space. Clothes can also be separated by type, such as casual, dress and out-of-season.
– Install a small rod in your closet just for storing empty hangers. It saves searching when you need one.
– Get rid of items you don’t wear.
