Now that we’re all spending more time at home and sometimes don’t know how to keep busy, we thought it would be a good idea to share some tips to organize your wardrobe in a much more practical and useful way, Marie Kondo style.
The first thing we recommend is… a clear-out! We know you won’t love the idea, but it may be the moment to pick out the pieces you’ll actually wear and give a new life to the ones you won’t. Often, the lack of space and the clutter are caused by all the clothes we keep “just in case.” Once you’ve done a general clear-out, you’ll have much more room and it’ll be easier to start reorganizing your wardrobe.
Create categories: by color, style, season, type of garment… Choose an area and arrange everything following the same pattern. That way you’ll always know where to find what you’re looking for. Plus, the sense of order brings peace of mind when searching for anything. Shelf dividers are a key piece for this step.
Only hang what you need to: try to use hangers only for the pieces that truly require it. Clothes that don’t wrinkle easily are better folded and kept in drawers. On the other hand, if your style means having lots of clothes that need hanging so they don’t crease, you can always add hooks to your hangers to boost each one’s capacity.
Long live shelves and boxes! We recommend fabric baskets of different sizes to store your clothes and accessories. You can also label them by the type of items inside, making it much easier to find what you need at any moment.
Fold and store vertically: if you stack the pieces you won’t hang vertically, you’ll make much better use of the space and find and pull out what you’re looking for without disturbing everything else.
Organize with logic: the key is to remember that tidiness is a matter of logic. For example: give more visibility to the pieces you wear daily, place your shoes on racks or in boxes, use suitcases to store coats…
