1. IKEA SKUBB ORGANIZERS
These IKEA SKUBB drawer dividers, at Amazon, are the fundamental foundation of my clothes organization and the easiest way to tidy up a chaotic closet or chest of drawers. I rest some larger square bins like these storage bins, at Walmart on their side on a shelf, and use them to store jeans and sweaters. The top faces outwards to I can see all of the folded jeans and sweaters at a glance.
2. GOOD QUALITY HANGERS
I bulk-ordered a load of these clothes hangers, at Amazon when I first moved in and it was a great decision. They were recommended to me by Suzanne Roynon, an interiors therapist and feng shui expert, who came and helped me declutter when I moved in. I've used up almost all of them now and it looks so much better having them all the same color and material, and they won't damage or stretch my clothes.
3. THE MARIE KONDO 'SPARKING JOY LINE'
Even though neutrals dominate my wardrobe (my day-to-day uniform is the adventurous combination of jeans and a black T-shirt) I arrange items by color. Marie Kondo recommends grouping clothes by color because then you don't have to think about where to put your clothes back.
4. REGULAR DECLUTTERING
It's intensely boring compared to the thrill of buying new organizers, but so often we struggle to organize our spaces because we've simply got too much stuff. Our kitchen cabinets and closets are crying out for a decluttering session that no number of Lazy Susans could fix. I find it hard to declutter sentimental items of clothing, like the ripped jeans I wore to death at Uni, and just don't wear anymore. But regular clear-outs create empty space for new items that fit my style now, and it's good to think of donated clothes finding a better home, and raising money for charity.
5. CLOTHES HANGER CONNECTOR HOOKS
I have ordered some of these hanger connector hooks because they look so simple and effective, maximizing vertical space. I think they'd be ideal for layering white shirts and black T-shirts together, meaning they take up less space horizontally. I recommend them for organizing a hallway closet as they just give you that bit more wiggle room. You can also get them in different colors for some The Home Edit-style color coordination.
6. A CLOTHES RAIL
In my old flat, I used a clothes rail, like this rail at Amazon, and I loved being able to see my clothes and found it sparked more ideas when putting outfits together. This isn't for everyone and it did make my bedroom feel more 'busy,' but if you enjoy planning out your outfits for the week ahead, or want to create a capsule wardrobe for spring, I'd highly recommend it.
7. STORING AWAY SEASONAL ITEMS
Last but not least, I always store away seasonal items. Linen pants and summer dresses get stowed away once the weather turns colder, and soon I'm hoping I can switch things around and store my heavier knitwear up out of the way to free up extra space.
