There are several ways you can get your office closet more organized. You can purchase inexpensive storage units at super stores. These units are easy to assemble and can be great for organizing.
You can customize these units to fit your needs. They come in many shapes and sizes. No matter what you store in your closet you can find a good storage unit that will fit your needs, from office supplies to sporting good to clothing and shoes. Get one that will fit your shoes and get them off the floor. Another for sweaters and other articles of clothing you don’t want to hang. You can also add an extra clothes rod below the original one in your closet. By doing this you can hang twice as many clothes in the same amount of space.
You can also find hangers that are made to hold several pair of slacks. This is good space saver. Inexpensive storage baskets are another good organizing tool. Perfect to use with any smaller items you may have. You can slide them on the shelf above the clothes rod or slide them into some of the space in the storage units you purchased. You can buy a special tie or belt rack to organize these items or just put a couple of well placed nails or hooks can be a quick and easy alternative to get these items organized. You can also install hooks to hang all of those hats and purses on. Getting your closet organized will make your life easier.

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.
