How much time do you spend looking for a Left when you have a
Right? Maybe you have a Black and you need a Blue?
What are we talking about? Shoes.
We have all been frustrated and annoyed by the chaos that is
our closet. Although your intentions are pure, after cleaning out
your closet for the ump-teenth time, it only takes a few months for the
craziness to return.
What's the answer? Organize!
Organizing your closet is easier than you
think. Below are some simple steps you can follow to get your closet
under control:
-
Empty your closet...Completely (did someone say simple?).
OK. Outside of a root canal, this may be the last thing you want
to do. But it has to be done. Come on, bite the bullet
and clean it out.
-
Discard old unused items.
Listen, if you haven't worn something in over a year, get rid of
it. We all have those items that just don't seem to fit any more, or
are simply out of style. Put them all into a box and surprise a friend or
family member who might get some use out of your "dust catchers". If no one
wants them, drop them at your favorite charity, there are always people in need
that can put these items to great use.
-
Group like items together.
Before you can fill your closet back up, you need to understand what it is
you are filling it with. Let's organize your clothing just like a
5th Avenue store. Separate your pants from your shirts, your dresses from your
skirts, your ties from your belts, your shoes from your hats,
etc. Separation, grouping and space utilization of similar items are
the hallmarks of a well designed and executed custom closet organizing system.
-
Install the right Closet Organizer units.
Now that you have a good idea what is going in the closet, you can add the
proper amount of hang bars, shelves, drawers and shoe racks to keep your closet
organized. These can range from inexpensive wire racks and plastic
bins to high end wood cabinets custom built to fit exactly to your closet's
dimensions.
Still not convinced? Consider the
following: By installing a closet organizer system, you could gain
anywhere from 25% to as much as 70% more storage space!
Closet organizers are now being featured on all the home
improvement shows as the new craze in homeowner design. Closets are
no longer just the small, dark, stuffy rooms used to quickly hide everything
when unannounced visitors arrive. Consumers are now realizing the
beauty and functionality of a well organized closet.
Organize your closet today
and begin taking charge of your life...one pair of shoes at a time.
