1. Donate what you no longer need
How to tidy up your dressing room is a question we often ask ourselves before starting a big tidy-up, isn't it? The first thing and harder to do is: empty everything. Try to make a selectin of the things that no longer connect with you, that do not represents you. This step will enable you to take stock of what you continue to wear and what you no longer like. Marie Kondo, the organization guru, advises you to ask yourself the following question: does this object bring me joy? If yes, then you can keep it. If not, then you can either sell it or give it away. Don't be sentimental when tidying up, think that when you donate what you no longer need there will be someone else that was needing what you had!
2. Group your clothes by season, then by category
Once you've done this initial sorting, you can separate your winter and summer clothes and put away those from last season. De clutter your closet. This will give you a sensation of easy-ness and calm when you open your closet every time. It will also make it easier to choose what you wanna wear when you can actually see all what you have.
3. Identical hangers for a tidy wardrobe
To keep your clothes neat and tidy, opt for thin, sturdy, identical hangers. I know... it might sound like too much, but...when they are positioned in the same direction in the closet, they take up less space which makes it visually more accesible. For shirts, blouses and dresses, choose non-slip hangers.
4. Organize by color or shade
If space allows, you can also arrange your clothes by color, ideally from lightest to darkest. This storage trick lets you quickly see which bottoms can go with which tops, and especially what you have in the desired color. You'll save invaluable time getting ready in the morning. What's more, it's a pleasure to look at!
5. Hang clothes from shortest to longest in your closet
Last but not least, to keep your wardrobe neat and tidy, we recommend arranging your clothes from shortest to longest. You can start with shirts, tops or blouses, then pants if you have room to hang them on a hanger, and finally skirts and dresses. Under short garments, you can place storage boxes or shoes, for example.
To conclude, I think tidying up your closet is a great way to lighten your mind. Sorting, classifying and tidying improve your organization and optimize your space. Seeing your clothes organized can give you mental space to think on other things. Organizing your wardbrobe also boosts productivity, encourages concentration and creativity.
Finally, it saves you money. In fact, it encourages you to think before adding a new item to your wardrobe.
