How to unclutter your closet
Livingetc knows design. We spend hours testing and comparing the latest products, bringing only our edit of the very best to you. Find out more about how we review.
There are many techniques you can try to unclutter that unruly closet. One clear place to begin is by emptying your closet. This makes the whole task feel far less overwhelming. Remove all your hanging items and anything that you might find sitting on the floor of the wardrobe and be ruthless with deciding what's to be thrown out or taken to charity.
Invest in some handy storage organizers, from clever hangers that allow for more than one item to be hung, to storage boxes and shelf dividers. Think about how you approach hanging clothes in your wardrobe and get into habits that you can practice going forward.
One method the organizers swear by is the closet decluttering hack that you can do without spending a dime. Start by putting all your hanger hooks facing in the wrong direction and only when you wear the item can you put it back with the hook the correct way. You can then quickly see exactly what clothes haven’t been worn.
Think about categories and separate those items according to the seasons. If you aren't going to be using certain items for months at a time, put them in the loft to grant yourself that extra precious space.
Lastly, be ruthless in your approach to throwing clothing. Ask yourself if you feel good wearing it, does it truthfully fit? and is it needed? If the answers are mostly nos, it's time to let it go.
