You can have a closet where you can actually start your day refreshed rather than exhausted. Here is exactly how we took this closet to the #nextlevel and how you can do the same in your own home:

Here’s how to execute this project:

1. Take everything out of the closet. Serisouly, every stinkin’ thing and take the opportunity to make the closet shine. Wipe down the shelves, sweep the floors and clear out the dust bunnies.

2. Sort into 3 piles: KEEP, DONATE, TRASH. For this exercise it is very necessary to set a timer for 20 minutes so you don’t get stuck. If you have a lot of clothes, divide this task into several sections. Identify a smaller bite-size section, set the time for 20 minutes and sort into one of three piles.

3. Organize

• Measure the space to determine best placement and products (if any) for purchase.

• If you can only purchase one product, I recommend matching hangers to visually simplify the space and streamline clothing across all areas.

• When it comes to placement, here are three tips:

  • Form follows function: You dress with your shirt on top, pants on the bottom. Your closet should follow suit.

  • Use the long-hanging section of your closet for just that —> items that are longer than the shorter areas should go in the long hanging area in order to reduce wrinkling and visual clutter.

  • If you have storage in out of reach places (like the closet in this video), don’ be afraid to leverage your vertical space, just do it with intention. Use like baskets with labels to corral less frequently used items.

  • Finally, ask yourself if an item really belong in the closet (sporting goods, tools, and home decor items for example) are generally better suited for other areas if there is room in your house.

• Group like items together (shirts, shorts, dresses, coats, vests) and place in ROYGBIV order back in the closet.

4. (Keep) Neat: Make sure to label everything so you know where it goes.
