Organizing a closet is not the most exciting thing one can do in a lifetime. However, if done right and properly maintained, it can pay a huge dividend. An organized closet will save time, save money, and reduce stress in anyone’s life.
What is that one commodity one always spends but can never replenish? It is time. Our time is spent on a variety of activities each and every day. Why waste it searching for the left shoe or digging for that favorite sweater? Organizing belongings into logical categories and leveraging the proper storage components will reduce the time it takes to locate desired items.
An additional time-saver is never speculating where to put items when it comes time to return them to the closet. Closet organization can also save money by reducing or eliminating unnecessary purchases. The ability to quickly and easily locate and quantify the amount, color and size of various items improves our personal inventory skills, thereby reducing the likelihood of buying duplicate or excessive items.
A smartly designed organization concept can save hundreds of dollars over the course of a year. Stress is a common factor in day to day life. While it cannot be completely avoided, organized storage can simplify and expedite the retrieval of needed items. Reduce the stress in life by eliminating those frantic searches. Stop trashing entire rooms trying to find a specific item that might be buried in that ghastly mountain of disorganized chaos. Get organized and the end result might just lead to a calmer lifestyle.

When I used to work at a popular thrift department store in school, we had a color chart. We used this color chart to divide the clothing into categories. It was something like white, black, red, pink, purple, blue, and green. Clothes were also divided into categories, to be placed with similar garments. For example, T-shirts, sleeveless, knit, shirts, sweaters.
This is now how I obsessively organize my own closet. Why do I do this? It’s easier to pick out an outfit. It’s easier to access what I already have so I don’t go overboard in shopping. An organized clutter free closet resembles n calm, peaceful, organized mind.
However, most closets are far from being organized. Most closets don’t only hold clothing. Closets are stuffed to the brim with old toys, linen, and coats. But for the sake of order, let’s just stick to the topic of an organized bedroom closet. Bedroom closets are notorious repositories or even final resting places for the past. Tucked in milk crates, neatly stacked on shelves, and crammed into shoe boxes are our personal relics of the past.
For those of without an attic or a storage locker, we keep our past in our personal space, where we can keep close watch over it. The shoe boxes contain old love letters and photographs of forgotten times. Current love artifacts are proudly placed in photo albums lined up on the living room book shelves, or memorialized in quaint scrap books. Preserved like fossils the remnants of our past are stored side by side with the clothes we wear every day. The outfits we blaze our new trails in. The clothes and shoes of now don’t belong with the burdens of the past. If we can’t display these items out in the open, we should let them go. An organized closet should represent the vitality and clutter free space of the present moment.

A good layout for a closet is having everything color coded and separated by type. This will make it easier to find exactly what you are looking for quickly. As a general rule, the lighter the item in both color and weight, the closer it should be to the front of the closet.
The heavier and darker the item, the further back in the closet it should be. The process of creating an organized closet begins with taking an inventory of what you have. Remove all the clothes out of the closet and place them in piles. Jackets, tee shirts, sweaters, dress shirts, dress pants, jeans, dresses, and skirts should be separated by type, size, and color. This will make organizing the closet much faster.
First, take the darkest, heaviest jackets and sweaters and hang them on the lowest shelf in the closet near the back. Then, take the lightest tee shirts and skirts and put them on the lowest shelf near the front of the closet. Next, the darkest, heaviest jeans should be placed on the highest shelf in the back of the closet. Follow this, by putting the lightest dresses and dress pants near the front of the closet on the highest shelf. You should continue putting your clothes back in the closet from heaviest to lightest and lightest to darkest until all the clothes are organized.
After you are finished with the clothes, your shoes can be organized in a similar fashion. Take the biggest, darkest shoes and place them near the back of your closet. Then take the lightest, smallest shoes and place them near the front of the closet. Keep organizing the shoes until they are all in order. Once you are finished, take a look at the closet as a whole. You will soon realize how much this one step will make your life a bit simpler.
