Closet Organization Video

Ask The Decorator is a weekly Internet show that follows decorator Meghan Carter and you’ll find highlights of her show on YouTube. I wanted to share one of them about closet organization featuring professional organizer Cynthia Ivie.

Cynthia says people need to decide what continues to serve your sense of style. She says, “Clothing makes a statement. Think of your wardrobe as a tool in life and what does it say about you. Eliminate clothing that no longer substantiates that message.”

Closet Organizers Do A Lot Of The Work

Pamper yourself with a closet that makes you feel welcome. Whether a closet is a walk-in or a step-in, it should greet you with a smile. I say that about every room, and the closet is no different. It is a room, it is just a small room.

When you think about it, we shouldn’t have to spend time searching to find something to wear in a closet. Let’s apply a 2 minute rule on organization to the closet: If you can’t find it in 2 minutes, you need to get organized. That’s where organizing products that aid in establishing order come in.

The double hanging rod on the right, for example, provides a space-saving gadget for the closet (available in our Product Shop). Anything that helps give you more space in a closet is beneficial because it should help prevent over-crowded spaces.

There are products for folded clothes, hanging clothes, organizing shoes, grouping ties and belts and scarves, you name it.

The trick (and it’s not really a trick) is to find the right product to organize items in your closet. Pre-fab closet systems are wonderful for creating an organized environment in your closet. And you can custom design pre-fab closet systems without costing a lot of money too.

So, when we chose closet organizers that help us save time finding what we want, we’ve created a lot less work for ourselves, haven’t we?

Create Extra Space Using the Right Systems and Products

In my previous blog post, I talked about the videos on organizing available to view, and there was one that I forgot to mention that is worth watching … about creating extra space in your clothes closet using Space Bags.

I recommend the use of this type of vacuum bag for storing seasonal or occassional clothing, not everyday-wear.

There are other things you can do to create extra space in your closet, too. I find that the double hang product (from Organize-Everything.com) is another way to double the space.

Finding and using a suitable closet system for your needs is important in organizing your closet, and you don’t have to go the expensive-custom-built route either. There are plenty of “prefab” closet systems available that can be customized to fit your needs. Check out some of the prefab closets at our site to get some ideas and get inspired!

I know that Organized Your Closet Week came to an end yesterday, but it’s never too late, and you can always create your own event to organize those closets! Happy organizing!
