Uniformity Is Crucial

“Matching hangers, shoe boxes, and containers will transform your closet visually and make you more motivated to maintain the space,” says Shearer. She also suggests having extra hangers on-hand at all times for new purchases or items that have just returned from the dry cleaner. This uniformity will eliminate visual clutter within the space, making it feel instantly neater, Reich says.

Closets Are Expandable

Feel free to move outside the confines of the closet walls. If you have a nearby nook or wall space, use it for added storage or set up a dressing area with a mirror and small table. If there are items that won’t fit in your closet or dresser, Reich suggests making use of under the bed storage as well.

Stations Maximize Utility

Divide your closet into zones with a designated category for each: shoes here, accessories there, gym clothes there. “This forces your brain to make the connection quickly of where to find each item. And you’ll know exactly where to return it when you’re done,” says Aron. Reich suggests using drawer and shelf dividers along with closet rod organizers to arrange each of the zones.

Closets Are Like Houses

“Your ‘main floor’ on the eye-level racks, rods, and shelves are where your everyday life occurs. So store clothing, shoes, and accessories here,” says Aron. “The upper shelves all the way to the ceiling act as your ‘attic’ where you should keep infrequently used pieces and mementos.”

A Ladder Is Essential

Aron suggests tucking a slim stepladder along the closet wall so you can put things away immediately—“rather than getting sidetracked on your way to retrieve the ladder from some far off corner of the house,” she says. A stool with one or two steps should be all you need to access the highest corners of the space.

Your suggestions are wonderful @lolakimono, but for me the only way I could be that organized is to not have as many clothes as I have!  I love clothes and will always have too many!  I just keep my closet pretty neat by switching my clothes each season to another closet!  I always thought that when I reached the age I am at now that I would outgrow my love for clothes but I have not!! I enjoy being a girl!!

I wish my clothes closet looked as neat as those pictures.

But to accomplish that, my husband would have to move out.

I do like having matching hangers, and I've managed to convert him. Small mercies.

I hang my long necklaces like this in a few places in my bedroom & half bath so they are not bunched up in one place, which would defeat the purpose.    Most of them are fashion pieces and I group them by color and also by length.   That sounds so complicated, picky and fussy but it's really not.   I like being able to see what I have, not just when I'm getting dressed but even on the weekends while doing laundry or whatever.

I find my hooks in antique & consignment shops.   But new could be just as good.   Depends on your style.

I can't believe anyone has that few clothes.  I would have to get rid of 3/4th of my wardrobe to fit (especially shoes and bags).
