With people having unpredictable times in recent years, it is completely natural to feel a little unorganized. Well, this year is all about personal development and getting our lives back on track. If you are wondering where to start, then why not check your bedroom as this is the place where you come mostly to relax and sleep. Having a walk-in wardrobe is fantastic, but when you have so many clothes, shoes and accessories that clog it up, it can make it impossible to find anything that you actually want. In the article, we will go through some simple ways in which you can organize your walk-in wardrobe to start your year right.
What You Need To Organize Your Wardrobe:
If you are going to organize your wardrobe, you are not going to be wanting to do it again anytime soon, so you will want to do it correctly the first time. Due to this, we will need the following bits of equipment so that you can measure the space to plan properly.
Here are some tools you will need:
Shopping Bag: This will be to transport your clothes to the designating place such as the bin, charity or to keep. If you don't have any bags, then a box or bin will also do well.
Tape Measure: This will be so that you can measure the inside of your wardrobe so that you know where all of the organizers will go and where they will fit.
Full-Length Mirror: This is so that you can try things on before you throw them away. It is a good idea for it to be full length so that you can see the whole of yourself.
Catch-all Basket: This is for anything you find spare in your wardrobe. Whether this is a rubber band, tissues, cash, papers etc. This will help save time as you can put all this in the basket to file away later.
Empty and Clean Your Wardrobe
If you are one that will just shove clothes in the wardrobe, this may become a bit of a shock for you. But the first thing you will need to do is remove everything from your walk-in wardrobe, including hangers, baskets and anything on the shelves and floors.
The reason why you need a clean and clear space is so that you can visualize where everything is going to go when it is all organized. This may be a place for your knitwear, somewhere for your hats or just a color coded wardrobe for your favorite items. It is completely up to you. Ensure that your shelves are clean and dust-free as well as your hanging rail. Hoover and mop the floor to ensure there is no dust, this includes the baskets, boxes and whatever else that belongs in the wardrobe.
Purchase Closet Organizers
These sound like a farce, but trust us when we say they are going to help make your wardrobe that extra bit organized and beautiful. Ensure you measure your wardrobes so you can plan where everything is going to go.
The material of your closet organists will depend on what you are filling them with. You could buy simple wicker baskets for your denim and knitwear, go with more fancy glass containers for special vintage jewellery or have specific racks for your shoes.
When you have closet organizers, everyday life will be much easier!
Declutter Your Clothes, Shoes and Accessories
This is the fun part, rather than deciding what you're going to throw away, decide what you are going to keep instead. Have separate piles for what you are going to keep, stuff you are going to sell (must be good quality), stuff you are going to donate to charity and then finally stuff you are going to throw away. A helpful tip on deciding where items will go is to answer whether you love it, wear it or does it portray the image you want of yourself?
Organize Your Clothes, Shoes and Accessories
For this part, you have some free reins as you can now organize the room to how you think it should go. Utilize all the space so you can fit in as much as you can without it looking unorganized and cluttered. You will find that the organizers will help you to find places for a range of different items such as underwear, accessories and even your jewellery.
There are many different ways in which you can organize your walk in wardrobe as it is all down to personal preference. As long as you follow these steps, you will find that your clothes will fit nicely into your wardrobe that you can feel proud to own.
