How to Organize a Closet

Closets play a major role in daily routines, and an organized closet makes getting dressed faster and less stressful. The goal is to create a system that reflects your lifestyle, wardrobe, and habits.

What is the first step to organizing a closet?
The first step is decluttering. Removing items that no longer fit or serve your lifestyle creates space and clarity.

How should clothes be categorized?
Grouping items by type—such as tops, bottoms, dresses, and outerwear—creates consistency and visibility.

How do I organize a closet by season?
Store off-season clothing separately to keep frequently worn items accessible and reduce visual clutter.

Does organizing by color help?
Color organization improves visibility and creates a visually calm space, making outfit selection easier.

How often should a closet be reorganized?
Most closets benefit from a seasonal review and reset.

Can a professional organizer help with custom closet systems?
Yes. Organizers assess layout, storage needs, and routines to create efficient and lasting systems.
