DO YOU ORGANIZE YOUR CLOSET BY....

Shanus — Wed, 29 Mar 2017 15:28:39 GMT

Do you organize your closet by color, type of clothing or by outfits?

I finally organized my closet with the Cascading Hangers that QVC sells (LOVE THEM), by designer.

Susan Graver makes me feel more dressed up, Logo kind of quirky, D&C casual, Isaac sophisticated, so depending on my mood, I go to that section, pick out what resonates with me that day, and I am done.

I also love the cascading hangers as I can rotate my clothing easily, when I put my laundry away the most recent worn gets put on the bottom, that way I am not constantly reaching for the same top all of the time, I actually discovered clothes I had forgotten I even had.

Hi @Shanus.. I organize by type of clothing. Then in each category I do same colors together. I wear a lot of trousers in the winter, so I color coordinate them. Blouses are mostly solids and my sweaters I keep in a drawer. Cardigans I hang. I don't have a lot of clothing. I would call myself somewhat of a minimalist.

I organize by clothing type (One World tops have a huge section), then by warm weather to colder weather. In other words, I have so many One World tops that I start at the far left with the sleeveless, then the short sleeve, then the long sleeve, then the ones that have a jacket or sweater included as a set. From spring to fall, these are mostly all I wear.

For winter, I have a section for North Face (or similar) lightweight jackets. These are all I wear indoors for casual when it's colder (most of the time in NE Ohio). When going to work in the cold weather, I have many leather jackets and blazers that I wear every day. Those are scattered around two spare bedrooms, as they are too heavy to hang all on one closet bar!

I organize by type of clothing.

I hang everything except sweaters, which get folded on the shelves.

I'm really fortunate. Our master closet is huge. It's what sold us on this house.

My side has a lower and upper rack. My pants are hung on the upper rack, arranged by color.

The lower rack is all tops. Right now, all the summer tops are toward the front. Arranged by color. Behind them are the winter tops, also arranged by color.

We have all of our clothes on Huggable Hangers.

I organize by type and color.

So I hang all my turtle neck shirt together, then go from white to cream to tan to brown to black to red to green to blue etc...

Then I repeat that for long sleeve shirts, then for short sleeve shirts, then for slacks then for shorts etc. etc. etc.

I am organized by seasons first. Then more special vests, blouses, shirts, jackets, pants, and skirts. Then items are organized by color.

Tees, seasonal blouses, turtle necks, and sweaters are on a large bookcase in the laundry room.

Having primitive antiques, I don't have a large dresser. I have my grandmother's large crystal vanity that I keep underwear in, her Victorian love seat, a wooden trunk, a two drawer drop center dresser and a tester bed.

I organize mine by ctype of clothing. I have all of my slacks together, by color, and then skirts/dresses and finally tops, and I have them organized by type of shirt, blouses, regular tops and my sweaters are all folded and in an organizer in my closet. Even though my closet is somewhat organized, I would like it to be even better organized. I do love Huggable Hangars , they make a huge difference.....I have a girlfriend and also a sister whose closets are so organized, it looks like something out of a catalog........Both are retired, but I bet even when they were working, they were still really organzied and neat......

Closet is organize by type and color.No red in my closet(with the exception of prints,that may have red in the design). Shoes and Handbags are organize the same way. Not hard because I buy only have 12 pairs of shoes, and like handbags when I purchase new I give away the old. The handbags,(1) Navy(Michael Kors) 1 gray(Vince Camuto) , 2 black( Marc Jacobs),1 light blue Coach(denim color) Purple( Coach) All with matching wallets.

Clothing is also given away when I purchase something new, I donate or give away the old. This keeps your closet fresh. As retirement nears, clothing purchase has decreased.

@gidgetgh. Same here w/ master closets. Each have a walk in. Since downstairs (where bedroom is) has 10' ceilings & I'm so short, I have 3 rods straight up on one side, built in dresser and shelves for shoes & sweaters/tees on other side. Hubby's closet is walk in, but smaller, of course.

I also arrange by color within type. Out of season go on top (3rd rod). Can't reach it except w/ ladder anyway.

@ECBG. Would love to have antique storage pieces. Makes the room unique.

@ShanusUnless you have an amoire and they were their closets, they didn't have big dressers abd chests of drawers because people then didn't have a lot of clothes.

@GRACIE. Sounds like you have a great system. Have to learn to toss something if I add something.

Heck No! There is no rhyme or reason to my closets.
