Use the same type of hangers in your closet for a uniform look.
Closets can easily become disaster areas behind closed doors. Once they become messy, the disorganization tends to grow until you devote an afternoon to restoring order. Reducing the amount of items a closet holds can make organizing the remainder a simpler process. Does this Spark an idea?
Reduce Clutter
Decluttering is the first step to true organization. Removing everything from the closet and sorting it by frequency of use allows you to see the totality of what you can give away and what you can organize. Organize items in a way that makes sense to you: by group, color or season.
Tips
In large closets, use repurposed furniture such as bookshelves rather than buying expensive closet systems. Use the same hangers for a unified look; if the closet is pleasing to look at, it's more likely to be kept organized. Make use of vertical space by installing high shelving or a second rod.
Considerations
Keeping a closet organized is as important as the effort expended to organize it. For large closets, make an itemized list of the contents and their locations. Label shelves so you won't have trouble remembering where things go. Keep a large shoe collection dust-free by storing it in stacked boxes; attach a photo of each box's contents to its outward-facing side.
