Put Your Closet in Order

Conquer closet clutter once and for all! Begin by taking inventory of the essentials that must be stored. Do this as you sort through your wardrobe. Then you can evaluate the space for its real potential.

Start with a basic framework of shelves, poles, and drawers. These homeowners chose the Elfa Decor system with walnut accents, available at The Container Store, to help them get organized. To begin, gather your closet's measurements and an estimate of your belongings. Trained Elfa planners will help you choose the right components.

Here, the wife owned only a few long dresses and had hung them in a hall closet. She chose double hanging bars to create more room for tops, skirts, and pants. Shelves along the back wall keep handbags within easy reach. Out-of-season clothes are stowed in drawers at the front of the closet, and shoes were moved onto shelves and built-in racks.

TIP: Place a trash can in your closet to conveniently toss out price tags and dry-cleaner bags.

I have a huge walk in closet...its amazing even how much space you have .. clutter can accumulate real easy.. so I figured out a plan that makes it simple for me to find things..
on one side of the closet i have hanging bags for shoes and sweaters and small bookcases for my out of season storage.. above my hanging shoe bag, I have a shelf where i store my pants...on the other side of my closet...I organized my shirts, skirts and dresses, where I am able to mix and match without much worry.. above I have a shelf where I store my extra sweaters, where I have all the matching colors together..and under my dresses etc... I have baskets..where I keep purses, bags and other items..i rarely use..but able to find.. the idea of a trash bin...stored in the closet seems like a keeper...
