Tips for Controlling Closet Clutter

FREEPORT, N.Y. - May 24, 2013 - PRLog -- Custom Closets Direct offers five easy tips for controlling closet clutter:

1. Shelf Life

If you haven’t worn that piece of clothing in a full calendar year, chances are that you won’t! Give away the clothing you haven’t worn so you can clear out space for those pieces that you do.

2. Mix It Up

Don’t be afraid to rethink your entire closet/storage space layout. It may seem overwhelming starting from square one, but oftentimes a full reorganization and layout upheaval can yield big results, and you may find space where you least expect it.

3. Seasonal Selections

Not everyone switches out their closets seasonally, but if you’re hard up for storage, you absolutely should. Summer is almost here, so pack away those burly coats and free up space to display your summer wardrobe.

4. Let There Be Light

It’s tempting to fit as much as possible in any closet or storage compartment, but that is usually what makes a space look more cluttered - no light. So, keep your clothing stacks to a reasonable height and reevaluate the items you choose to keep.

5. Compartmentalize and Consolidate

Helpful de-cluttering aids like shoe racks, belt hangers and scarf bins are the perfect way to keep organized and clean - it’s also a great system to ensure you know what you have. With proper shelving and hanging aids, you can consolidate your closet/storage items, and keep it looking tidy in the meantime.
