Mornings can be made more hectic if you find yourself rifling through the closet wondering just where you put that black shirt or tearing through your drawers looking for matching socks. Organizing your closet and drawers is a relatively simple process that can save you time and stress. Once you have completed the organizing and have established a system, all you have to do it maintain is to bring yourself that much closer to an organized life. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
Closet
1. Group all long dresses or coats, and hang them on one end of the closet to allow more floor space in the central part of the closet.
2. Acquire slacks hangers, fold each pair carefully in half and hang each pair on its own hanger for easy visibility. Organize your slacks based on how they are used (i.e. work, causal, formal, etc.). Keep the section you use most often in the most central part.
3. Group your shirts in individual sections based on where you wear them (i.e. work, casual, formal, etc.). Keep the section you use most often next to the slacks section that also gets the most use.
4. Fold sweaters and stack them on any available shelf. If your closet has no shelf, obtain a hanging sweater organizer, and stack them on it.
5. Organize your shoes by pairs on a low shoe rack placed at the bottom of the closet. If space is an issue, keep only the shoes you use most in the closet, and store the others in shoe boxes under the bed or wherever else you have available storage.
Drawers
6. Keep the top drawer for items you use veryday, such as socks and undergarments. Get drawer dividers, and keep all your paired up socks in single rows on one side and your undergarments on the other to make it easier to see what you need.
7. Designate each drawer for some type of clothing such as pants, workout clothes, t-shirts or pajamas with the category you use most near the top of the dresser.
8. Create the most space possible in drawers that need to hold a lot by laying each item flat and rolling it. This method allows more space and organization than flat folding and stacking.
