Organizing A Small Closet

To fully learn how to decorate your closet, you will need to start with an empty closet. Start by taking everything out. This way organizing a small closet will be less intimidating. It’s a faster way for you to decorate your closet without clutter. This method helps you create awesome small closet organization ideas. I sold my old clothes on Poshmark to help me with my DIY closet organization. I highly recommend downsizing at least once a year. If you haven’t worn something within a year (with the exception of gowns and meaningful items) toss them into the pile to be sold. Ask yourself, would I prefer to have a new scarf if I toss out the old scarf? We all love having extra cash! Decluttering your clothes isn’t the only step needed in your DIY closet organization project. You will need to sort through your old shoes as well. Discard or sell them too! Now that we’re done organizing a small closet, Let’s explore some feminine closet ideas.

Closet Shoe Storage Ideas

Closet Shoe Rack

Here’s some amazing no fuss small closet organization ideas for storing my shoes in a closet. One of my closet decorating ideas included purchasing a white shoe storage rack Click Here to see. I find them to work extremely well for organizing a small closet. My tallest high heels sometimes need to have the straps pushed over the top but they fit and look okay for my closet decorating ideas. I also added caulk to the inside corners of the shoe rack, for a higher quality appearance. It was super easy to assemble and its super sturdy. Some reviews said this shoe storage cabinet shelf is wobbly, but I think they didn’t assemble it properly. I purchased a total of 3 and none of them are wobbly. I do have some diy closet organization ideas in mind for a more feminine luxurious closet shoe rack idea but it will have to wait until I’m in a home I own. For an affordable closet shoe storage idea this works perfectly for organizing a small closet. You can also display hats, gift boxes and high end shopping bags on your closet shoe rack to really enhance your feminine closet ideas.

Organize Closet By Color

Small closet organization ideas must include, hanging your clothes neatly and color coordinating your clothes for a more organized appearance. When organizing a small closet try to hang clothes in the same direction on the hangers. I used to have all my clothes hanging up by style, for example: dresses with dresses and pants with pants. I found it to be much easier when organizing my small closet to organize my closet by color instead. But if you find you have a lot of patterns in your clothes, hang them toward the back or in the sections not highly visible. I have another closet to the left of this closet that houses my jeans. My jeans are also organized by color.

Closet Hangers For Clothes

A super cool way to create a cohesive look for your closet decorating ideas is to color coordinate sections of your wardrobe. Try using hangers that are all the same, colors and style. When you get hangers that don’t match donate them. I purchased these wooden hangers a little bit at a time to make them fit my budget. Otherwise they can get to be expensive. Try to purchase them a little at a time with each pay check. Donate clothes you no longer want or need so that you can have more space and use less hangers. Click here to see the hangers I purchased. I chose wood hangers for my closet decorating ideas, because of their color and elegance. I know they take up more space inside the closet, but there is a reason I chose them. For my closet decorating ideas, the bigger hangers help me keep my esthetic and also keeps me from over buying a lot of clothes. It lets me know its time to declutter my closet and downsize if I run out of hangers. Instead of buying smaller hangers it would mean lots of clothes in excess, so keep this in mind for your closet decorating ideas. I’d much rather have clothes that I actually wear than clothes that just hang in the clothes taking up space. Nestled at the bottom of my closet is my laundry hamper its super cute. But here is another I absolutely love! Click Here
