Is it time to organize your closets and get rid of the chaos that is lurking inside them? Start with these easy home organizing tips to turn your closets into a successful makeover.
Hall Closet
An easy organizing tip to begin with is to redistribute any items from the hall closet that would be better used in other rooms in the house. Donate outdated and outgrown coats to charity which will leave room for coats and jackets for you and your guests. Make use of open and closed storage bins to keep smaller items, such as gloves, mittens and hats under control and easily accessible. You are now ready for those quick exits as your family heads out the door.
Linen Closet
Even though they are called linen closets, in many homes they would be more appropriately called a "catch-all". An easy home organizing tip for this closet is to put linens "front and center". Move belongings that are used less often into the sides, top and bottom of the closet. Use clear plastic bins or linen bags to store out-of-season linens and other odds and ends.
Master Bedroom Closet
A basic organizing tip for the master bedroom closet is to designate a section of the closet for each partner where they can pull together a day's outfit fast and easy. Carefully select clothes and shoes that are worn out or outdated. If your closet doesn't have adequate shelves and hanger space, visit an organizing store or big box store for ideas. Use clear plastic bins for organizing accessories and for storing items on higher shelves in the closet.
Organizing Tools
There are wonderful organizing tools on the market today that will make organizing your home much easier. An over-the-door shoe organizer is not just for shoes. This multitasker can hold kitchen spices, gloves and mittens and office supplies as well as shoes. Another organizing tip is to purchase wire shelf dividers for your closets that keep unstable things such as purses upright and tidy. An ottoman which is solid enough to sit on with a lid that lifts off for storage is ideal in a master bedroom closet.
By applying these easy home organizing tips, you will put your closets on the road to recovery and no longer fear opening that closet door!
