In Need of a New Closet Design?
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.
