How to Organize Your Closet

1. Rule of 2 years. Put all of your clothes on your bed and have a look at them. All of the clothes that you haven't worn in 2 years give away. Do the same with your shoes.

2. Order in your closet. Put all of your sweaters on shelves according to color and thickness or any other system. This way your clothes will hold shape longer and you will know exactly where something is.

3. Protection against dust and moths. Put your summer clothes in plastic bags or boxes and label them. Do the same with shoes. You can even take a picture of your shoes and put it on the front of the box.

4. Where and how with jewellery.

• Buy a cork board and put color pins in the board. Put your jewellery on the pins.

• You can also buy a jewellery holder and put your jewellery on there. 

• Buy an ice tray and put your little pieces of jewellery in it. 

5. Nicely put. Put little pieces of underwear in decorative boxes or put some decorative paper over old shoe boxes. You can also use boxes for cookies.

6. Colorful. When you are hanging up your clothes do it this way: put pants together, skirts together, etc. Individual types of clothing (pants, shirts, etc.) divide with a different colored hanger. You can fill the empty space under the hangers with boxes in which you can put belts, scarves, purses, etc.

7. Nicely organized. If you don't have shelves in your closet but only drawers then roll your clothes next to each other and do not put them on top of each other.

8. Smelling nice. You can protect your clothes against moths by putting a bag of dry lavender in your closet. If you want to make your closet just to smell nice then put a little bit of essential oil on a cotton pad and put it on the shelf between the clothes.

9. Everyday chores. 

• Put clean clothes to your closet immediately. 
• Throw dirty clothes in the laundry basket. You can get two baskets; one for white clothes and one for other clothes.
• Fold each piece of clothing that you can wear again so that it won't get wrinkles. Put the clothes that don't have to be washed yet on a standing hanger or a special pile.
