Spring Refresh | Closet Organization
The changing of seasons always leads to a big closet refresh; all the warm weather clothes come down and all the sweaters and coats move up. There is always much more joy in the morning routine when I can see all the pieces of my outfits, clearly, and plan something that fits my personality.
WOODEN HANGERS
The day I changed my closet to all matching hangers, I instantly felt more like an adult. Ridiculous, I know, but that is the power of a put together and organized closet. If even one piece of me can feel more “together” I will take it.
VALET ROD
My best days begin the night before. I love to have my outfit pre-selected on a busy morning. Using a small valet rod to hang my outfit keeps it separated, easy to steam, and easy to grab and go.
HAT HOOKS
If there is a free wall in the closet, hooks for necklaces and hats are great for keeping everything separated and out of a pile. These vertical hat hooks are great for a narrow wall.
SHOE BOXES
Keeping shoes in boxes helps me keep them more organized and reduces damage. I used to keep them in their original boxes, but many would have torn boxes or didn’t come in a box at all. Seeing the shoes inside makes it a much quicker process to select the shoe for the day. Having a box that has a flip down end or drawers also means there is no stacking and potential shoe avalanches in the middle of the closet.
CLEAR FRONT DRAWERS
This cannot be done in every closet, but if you can add some customization, even just from Ikea drawers it instantly makes for a more orderly and “high-end” closet. Ikea makes a few different closet drawer options. I love these clear front drawers for seeing the items inside.
SHELF DIVIDERS
If you are someone who prefers folding clothing over hangers, shelf dividers can be a life-saver! These clear dividers make sure the piles stay in place, while not blocking your view.
FABRIC BASKETS
Fabric baskets work well with clothing and like-items because they won’t snag anything. These baskets keep their shape pretty well, look nice, and can be used to contain items that are many pieces or aren’t accessed very often (like scarves, mittens, etc.).
DRAWER TRAYS
If you’ve been reading these spring refresh posts, you know by now how much I love a compartmentalized drawer. These bamboo trays are a rich tone and would be great for jewelry, watches, sunglasses, and ties.
