Closet Organization Hacks

As the seasons shift and wardrobes evolve, the closet often becomes the first place to show signs of chaos. With a few simple organization hacks, you too can reclaim your closet, maximize every inch of space, starting each day with clarity and ease.

HACK #1: Declutter with Purpose

Start by taking everything out. Yes, everything! It’s easier to make smart decisions when you can actually see what you own. Sort items into three categories: Love it, Store it or Let it go.

• Love it: Keep only what fits, flatters, and feels good.
• Store it: Seasonal pieces can be tucked away in labeled bins or vacuum-sealed bags.
• Let it go: Donate or consign items that no longer serve you. (APFIA can take donations for a flat fee of $10 for all sessions)

HACK #2: Rotate Seasonally

This is my personal favorite. At the start of each season, take 15 minutes to rotate what’s front and center in your closet and your drawers. This action not only maximizes space but keeps your closet feeling fresh and relevant year-round.

HACK #3: Think Vertically

Vertical space is the real secret weapon. Add a second hanging rod for shorter items like shirts or jackets. Install hooks, shelves, or hanging organizers.Even the back of the door can hold shoe racks or jewelry storage.

HACK #4: Create a “Go-To” Section

Designate a small section for your everyday jeans, pants or work shirts. Having your go-to items grouped together saves decision time during busy mornings.
