As we welcome spring, we should also welcome the dreaded spring cleaning. Let us talk about the place you go regularly but secretly dread – your closet.
Closets are the black holes of a home; they slowly draw in all kinds of things that should go somewhere else or have lost their usefulness.
Tackling the closets in your home does not have be a journey into the unknown. A little bit of elbow grease and a touch of preparation, you can have a little more peace of mind – and most likely find that shirt you had been missing.
Having an organized closet will not just make you less crazy, but it may also add hours to your life you would have spent searching for something that is right in front of your face.
Below are great tips to get your closet into tip-top shape:
- Empty your closet: Pull everything out, get organized and start clean.
- Sort your belongings: Keep what you love, sell or donate what you don’t. Not sure how? Check out the KonMari Method.
- Get an organizer: There are a lot of amazing solutions for your tiny spaces that can increase their functionality.
- Organize by use: Put your most used items in easy to reach areas while your old prom dress can go in the back (or to Goodwill).
You will be amazed at how a newly organized closet can brighten your day. You are also able to write off whatever you donate on your taxes.
