7 Easy Ways To Organize & Double Your Closet Space

Whether your wardrobe is a walk-in or a reach-in, spacious or compact, the bigger closet dream is having one that's neat and organized with ample space for fresh apparels and new accessories!

Let's declutter and organise what you already own with 7 Easy Ways to expand your closet space. Empty out those drawers and shelves, we're starting afresh!

KEEP ONLY THE KEY PIECES

If you have a limited-sized closet, you may find it easier to downsize your closet to just the ones you need. Alternatively, if you have more room, it may be tempting to keep clothes that you rarely wear, don't fit anymore or are out of season.

Browse through your entire closet with a loved one to see what you should keep, donate or throw!

  

RECONFIGURE YOUR CLOSET SYSTEM

 

Once you're sure and happy with the pieces that you're keeping, create a system within the closet that works for each category/type. For example:

  • Build a station for your accessories.
  • Hang anything fancy, delicate and sturdy.
  • Stack bulky items and seasonal wear such as jeans, sweaters, costumes..
  • Fold & roll loungewear, sleepwear, undies and workout clothes into the dressers.

 

MAKE ROOM OUTSIDE OF THE CLOSET

Ft. Mesh Linen Rectangular Fabric Laundry Basket - Brown

Speaking of which, where do you keep the rest of the items you had in the closet that don't belong? Consider using stackable organizers, wall hooks or even a laundry basket where you could place just beside your closet that could help to hold your miscellaneous items (like toys, yoga mat...etc.) apart from dirty laundry! 

  

GROUP EM', EVEN THE HIDDEN CONTENTS

Ft. Adjustable Drawer Divider (Set of 2) - White

Just because you can't see them in the drawers, doesn't mean they should be messy! While the file-folding technique helps to keep all your smaller garments neat and compact, combine it with adjustable drawer dividers to help sort them into categories for easier picking!

 

STORAGE BOXES, TRAYS & BINS FTW

Ft. 3pcs Ivory White Storage Box

So useful on shelves and in your dresser, storage baskets, trays and bins are your saviours when it comes to giving all your clothes and accessories a home. Easily sort them by type, add a label and nothing goes missing again!

 

MAKE USE OF SPACE-EFFICIENT HANGERS

Ft. Stainless Steel Multi Layer Hanger (Set of 5)

Ft. Slim Open End Hangers (Set of 5)

The smallest trick in the book is to simply invest in the correct hangers! Instead of multi-coloured/mismatched, bulky hangers, switch them out for multifunctional, one-toned hangers to not only create more space for new apparels but also keep everything looking neat and uniformed in your closet.

 

BE STRICT WITH WHAT YOU STORE

To keep your closet from getting cluttered, keep the clutter away from your closet! Leave no room for storage of other items at home in your wardrobe except for clothes and accessories to prevent unnecessary pile ups or mess.
