Beyond functionality, an organized closet fosters a sense of order and calm, positively impacting mental well-being. In essence, closet organization goes beyond neatness – it transforms daily living by creating an environment that is both visually pleasing and conducive to a streamlined, stress-free lifestyle. Who doesn’t want that?
So how do we achieve this stress-free environment?
-
Declutter: Sort and throw out unnecessary items. Take everything out and start with a blank canvas.
-
Categorize: Group similar items together. Make a keep pile, a donation pile and a throw-out pile.
-
Utilize storage solutions: Shelves, bins, and organizers will become your best friends.
-
Seasonal rotations: Switch out clothing items based on the season.
-
Regular maintenance: Avoid clutter buildup through periodic cleanups.
-
Color-coding: Make it easier to locate items at a glance. Add different colored labels to bins so you know what is in them.
If organizing is not your cup of tea, get help from the professionals. Recently, we had the chance to speak with two businesses local to Ridgefield, Breathing Space and Liberty Closet and Garage Co., who shared some great advice for anyone working with professionals when remodeling/organizing their closets:
-
Set up an interview with them to discuss your expectations of the project, including a shared vision, goals and budget.
-
Focus on a system that will work with your style so you will find it easy to stay organized.
-
The closet should have an efficiency of space and style as well as ease of use.
-
The designer should listen to your wants, but understand that what you think you want may not always be possible. They are professionals with years of experience.
