Chances are, you have a closet in your home that\u2019s like that &#8211; and it\u2019s a closet that\u2019s full of what can only be described as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stuff<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/ditch-or-donate-how-to-organize-your-home\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=maximizing-organizing-closet-space\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">spring cleaning your closet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is always a good start, it\u2019s only a temporary fix. The best way to keep your closet from becoming a black hole is organizing it &#8211; permanently. While it may seem like a lot of work to reconfigure your entire closet layout, you\u2019ll be thankful to have less stuff (and less of a feeling of dread when you think of it).

Everything goes in, nothing goes out. This becomes a particular issue with multi-use closets: if it has storage, clothes, luggage, and extra home goods all mixed together, it\u2019s going to be a prime place to throw any excess junk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of leaving it as multi-use, set a few rules for it. If you\u2019re looking to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/minimalist-living\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=maximizing-organizing-closet-space\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">minimize your stuff<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, consider the one-in, one-out rule, where you must get rid of something every time you buy something new. Or try a cluster-based rule, where boundaries are set for which items can go on which shelves in the closet so you don\u2019t have room for any more than you need. Make sure these rules are well-communicated to any housemates so no one can turn your clean closet into a wild mess. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>#3: Evaluate Your Layout<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2897\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/bpm-images-628281-closet.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"395\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/bpm-images-628281-closet.jpg 395w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/bpm-images-628281-closet-300x207.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 395px) 100vw, 395px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomashomecenter.com\/bpm-images-628281.jpg\">Thomas Home Center<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unless you built your home yourself, it\u2019s likely that your closet has a very generic layout, such as a shelf on top with a rod for hanging clothes below it. Let\u2019s be honest: this layout doesn\u2019t work for anyone. Unless you\u2019re storing floor-length outfits and perfectly organized boxes, you\u2019re going to have unused space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s time to think bigger. If you\u2019re going to be storing home goods in there, do you need a hanging rod? Or if you\u2019re only storing seasonal gear that\u2019s less than four feet long, could you fit another shelf or cabinet along the bottom?

Remember the new designated areas you have and put your stuff there. If you don\u2019t have enough room for the tenth pair of shoes or your fifteenth plain t-shirt, it\u2019s time to consider letting it go &#8211; or at least getting rid of something else to make space for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you hang things back up or put them in boxes, think in terms of groups. Of course, you\u2019ll want all your clothes together, but don\u2019t just hang things randomly. Keep coats, jackets, and sweaters together, and put pants next to your skirts, leggings, and jeans. Organize shirts from sleeveless to long-sleeved, and keep bottoms together by seasonal use. If you have many of the same item (such as a sweater in a few different colors), consider investing in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/ESYLIFE-Cascading-Velvet-Hangers-Clothes\/dp\/B01E50T8SU\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cascading hangers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so they can be stored together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same rule goes for more than just clothes. Stack boxes of holiday decorations together, and keep all your out-of-season items in one place to make the transition seamless when the seasons change. And don\u2019t forget that as you put items away, you want the items you\u2019ll use the most to be the easiest to grab.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>#6: Make Your Closet Your Favorite Space<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2900\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/closet-lighting-fixtures-automatic-lights-electrical-page-diy-chatroom-home-withinl-mounted-light-with-motion-sensor-738x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"738\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/closet-lighting-fixtures-automatic-lights-electrical-page-diy-chatroom-home-withinl-mounted-light-with-motion-sensor-738x1024.jpg 738w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/closet-lighting-fixtures-automatic-lights-electrical-page-diy-chatroom-home-withinl-mounted-light-with-motion-sensor-216x300.jpg 216w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/closet-lighting-fixtures-automatic-lights-electrical-page-diy-chatroom-home-withinl-mounted-light-with-motion-sensor-768x1066.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/closet-lighting-fixtures-automatic-lights-electrical-page-diy-chatroom-home-withinl-mounted-light-with-motion-sensor-1107x1536.jpg 1107w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/closet-lighting-fixtures-automatic-lights-electrical-page-diy-chatroom-home-withinl-mounted-light-with-motion-sensor-1476x2048.jpg 1476w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/closet-lighting-fixtures-automatic-lights-electrical-page-diy-chatroom-home-withinl-mounted-light-with-motion-sensor-scaled.jpg 1844w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hgibloomington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/closet-lighting-fixtures-automatic-lights-electrical-page-diy-chatroom-home-withinl-mounted-light-with-motion-sensor.jpg\">hgibloomington<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, when you describe a closet as a \u201cblack hole,\u201d it\u2019s meant literally. Even with overhead lighting, closets are dark, dank spaces &#8211; and that makes you want to avoid spending time cleaning them all the more. To keep yourself committed to making them clean, you&#8217;ll need to change that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start by adding more lighting: stick-on LED lights come in rounds, squares, and even strips to make the space brighter and more welcoming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, it\u2019s time to keep it fresh. Air fresheners are always a plus, but if you\u2019re storing lots of clothing, it\u2019s a good idea to keep some moth balls or cedar hangers to deter any unwanted visitors or musty smells. Throw a dryer sheet in any drawers or shelves of clothes to keep your clothing from smelling too stuffy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, add some decor. While framed photos aren\u2019t very practical (and in a closet, are frankly a bit odd), hanging belts, hats, or jewelry in a decorative fashion on the back of the closet doors makes it feel less like a storage unit and more like an extension of your room. You might even find yourself leaving the doors open, just for your own aesthetic enjoyment. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>#7: Keep Your Closet Clean<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2901\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/small-custom-closet-secret-finish-south-indiana_1600x590.1600x590-1024x378.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/small-custom-closet-secret-finish-south-indiana_1600x590.1600x590-1024x378.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/small-custom-closet-secret-finish-south-indiana_1600x590.1600x590-300x111.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/small-custom-closet-secret-finish-south-indiana_1600x590.1600x590-768x283.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/small-custom-closet-secret-finish-south-indiana_1600x590.1600x590-1536x566.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/small-custom-closet-secret-finish-south-indiana_1600x590.1600x590.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.organizedoptions.com\/site\/assets\/files\/1071\/small-custom-closet-secret-finish-south-indiana_1600x590.1600x590.jpg\">Organized Options<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Voila!
