You can also put hooks on the inside of doors, and if your jewellery or makeup is in your wardrobe, invest in some storage containers. A good jewellery box will not only help to organise the area, but it will also help to protect the contents.<\/p>\n
2. Assess the pile<\/h2>\n
There are many different methods to help you decide what to keep and what to throw away.<\/p>\n
Rather than choosing what to discard, the KonMari method<\/a> allows you to choose what you\u2019re going to keep. The main philosophy is that if the item you\u2019re holding in your hand doesn\u2019t bring you joy, you should throw it away.<\/p>\n This method can be time-consuming, but it\u2019s thorough. If you find that your clothes are bringing you joy, but you\u2019re not wearing them because they no longer fit, be sure to have them perfectly altered<\/a> so you can give them new life and make the most out of them.<\/p>\n Another way to assess what you\u2019re really using is the \u2018hanger method\u2019. This doesn\u2019t involve taking everything out of your cupboard, but rather organising your wardrobe in a way that when you look inside, it\u2019s obvious what has been worn and what hasn\u2019t. This method starts with all your hangers facing the same direction. When you put worn clothes back, flip the hanger so that it\u2019s facing the opposite way. At the end of the month, take a look and see what has actually been worn. Based on this, you can make your decision as to whether or not to keep the items you haven\u2019t touched.<\/p>\n For most people, organising your wardrobe isn\u2019t the funnest thing to do, but there are ways to make it more enjoyable. This is where the Minimalist Game<\/a> comes in. In this situation, the number of things you need to discard correlates to the day of the month. So, on the first day of the month, remove one item, on the tenth day, you remove ten, etc. Now, obviously a lot of people don\u2019t have this much stuff to get rid of, so the game may only last for a week. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be removing an average of 496 items from your dresser each month.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t have that many things to get rid of and want to take your time sorting through your things, another route is the One Method. Simply get rid of one thing every day for a month, and at the end of the month, your wardrobe will be looking fresh and organised.<\/p>\n Nothing makes a wardrobe look more neat and organised than proper hangers and storage boxes. Get rid of every wire hanger and grab some plastic, wooden or velvet ones instead. Your clothes will thank you for it as they\u2019re much kinder to the fabric. Then, for those shoes that need to be stored in boxes, grab some clear plastic ones so you can actually see what\u2019s inside, rather than having to open and shut every box.<\/p>\n The more organised your cupboard, the easier your life will be. There\u2019s no point hanging pants up next to tops and dresses next to skirts, as things will just get mixed up. Designate a place for everything. Hang shirts with shirts, and pants with pants. You can even go one step further and group long-sleeved shirts together and short-sleeved shirts together. This means that when you\u2019re choosing your outfit for the day. You only need to look in certain sections, rather than rifling through the whole cupboard. If you need to, perhaps look at installing some shelves and drawers, as this can help with designating certain spots.<\/p>\n This is the perfect way to ensure your closet stays neat and tidy. Whenever you purchase something new, put another item that you don\u2019t wear into a pile. At the end of the month, take this pile of clothes to a charity bin. This not only ensures that you\u2019ll actually wear the majority of the items in your wardrobe, but it will also help you from going back to your cluttered ways.<\/p>\n Having an organised wardrobe is the key to stress-free mornings and making sure that you\u2019re getting the most out of your clothes. You\u2019ve invested in looking good, so it pays to be able to easily choose and access all your favourite pieces.
