It is a fact that we wear 20 percent of our clothes 80 percent of the time. This means most of your wardrobe never sees the outside of the closet. So what does this mean? We have a lot of "junk" in our closets that doesn't need to be there so cleaning out clutter is key. Closet organization ideas are essential to keeping your closet clutter at bay.
Whether you have a meager single bar closet or a huge walk in closet the issues are still the same, keeping it organized effectively. Start by getting rid of the 80 percent of items you don't wear. Take an hour or two to go through all of your wardrobe pulling out things you really won't and don't ever wear.
Donate them to your local Goodwill or sell them at a local yard sale. Heck, try Ebay for more expensive items that are in very good shape to get some of your money back.
Here is a great little method for finding out how much of your closet you actually wear. Try this!
Hanger Trick: At the start of the season turn all your hangers around so they are facing backward toward you. Then everytime you wear something hang it back up facing the other direction. At the end of that season see how many hangers (items) are turned the wrong direction. This will tell you how much you wear that item.
Reclaim vertical space by utilizing creative ways to go vertical with storage in your closet. Make use of shelving or vertical storage systems. Modular closet storage systems are excellent options to take full advantage of the vertical wall space in your closet.
Use the backs of doors in closets to maximize storage potential where there isn't much to use. Over the door organizers work great for closet doors and can contain everything from shoes to kids toys. They are also perfect for kitchen pantries to hold smaller item like spices and condiments.
