Your closet shouldn’t stress you out the moment you open the door. Whether it’s a cramped reach-in or a dreamy walk-in, creating an organized closet is about more than just storage — it’s about peace of mind. In this post, I’m sharing my go-to tips, layout ideas, and favorite products to help you create a space that feels calm, functional, and beautifully yours.
1. Start With a Clean Slate
Take everything out. Wipe down shelves, vacuum the floor, and only put back what you actually wear. This is your moment for a mini declutter — and a fresh start.
Designer Tip: Sort items into clear categories like tops, pants, dresses, shoes, and accessories. This makes it easier to purge what you don’t need and plan your layout efficiently.
2. Group by Category — Then by Color
Separate your clothes into categories, then organize each one by color. It’s a small detail that makes a big visual impact. Plus, it makes getting dressed in the morning a little more enjoyable.
3. Use Matching Hangers
Ditch the mismatched plastic and wire hangers. Switching to all black velvet or wood hangers instantly gives your closet a polished, boutique-style look.
Why velvet hangers are a favorite:
- Slim profile maximizes space
- Non-slip surface keeps clothes in place
- Soft, uniform look that feels elevated
Prefer something natural?
Wooden hangers bring a timeless, sturdy vibe — especially for coats and blazers.
