Contemporary spacious walk in wardrobe in a modern home

Does staring into your overflowing closet leave you feeling more defeated than inspired? You’re not alone. But fear not, warriors! This season, we’re ditching the disarray and embracing innovative organization solutions that will transform your closet into a stylish haven.

Step One: Embrace the Edit

Before diving into containers, confront the root of the problem: clutter. Schedule a ruthless decluttering session. Donate unworn items and toss anything past its prime. Categorize your remaining clothes by season and type (hanging vs. folded). Invest in slim, velvet hangers for a sleek, space-saving look.

Innovation Inspires:

  • Tiered Hangers: Maximize vertical space with tiered hangers for pants, scarves, or delicates.
  • Shoe Organizers: Keep your footwear collection in check with clear, stackable shoe boxes or hanging organizers.
  • Collapsible Storage Containers: Foldable fabric bins or collapsible canvas drawers are perfect for storing out-of-season clothes or bulky items like sweaters.

Baskets & Beyond: The Container Conundrum

Baskets are your new best friends! Woven baskets add a touch of texture
& warmth, while clear acrylic options offer a modern, see-through visual
aesthetic. Use baskets for out-of-season clothes, handbags, or even rolled towels.

Pro Tip: Label your baskets with fabric tags or a label maker for easy identification.

Glass Jar Gems:

For a touch of vintage charm with a practical twist, utilize glass jars. Store bulkier accessories like belts or rolled socks in decorative jars. Clear jars are perfect for displaying colorful scarves or seasonal decorations.

Wall-Mounted Wonders:

Don’t underestimate the power of wall space! Install sturdy shelves or
utilize over-the-door organizers for handbags, hats, or folded sweaters. Pegboards are a fantastic option for hanging jewelry, scarves, or belts, keeping them readily accessible and adding a touch of visual intrigue.

Lighting Up Your Look

Good lighting is crucial for a functional and stylish closet. Swap harsh overhead lights for warm, adjustable LED strips. Placing LED lights along shelves or under hanging clothes makes finding that perfect outfit a breeze.

The Finishing Touches:

Fragrance Sachets: Tuck away lavender sachets or cedar blocks to keep your closet smelling fresh and deter pests.

  • Mirrors: Strategically placed mirrors not only make your closet feel more spacious but also allow you to check your outfit before heading out.
  • A Touch of Green: Add a small, low-maintenance plant to your closet for a touch of life and improved air quality. Spider plants and ZZ plants are great low-light options.
