Top tips for keeping your large closet space tidy

With these five tips for organising your closet, we're here to assist you in creating the closet of your dreams, from decluttering strategies to maximising storage solutions.

1. Declutter regularly

One of the biggest challenges with large closet spaces is the tendency to accumulate unnecessary items. To combat this, make decluttering a regular habit. Set aside time every few months to assess your wardrobe and get rid of items you no longer wear or need. Donate or sell clothes, shoes, and accessories that are in good condition but no longer serve you. This will free up valuable space and make it easier to keep your closet tidy.

2. Use vertical space

When organising a large closet, don't forget to make use of vertical space. Install shelves above hanging rods to store items like handbags, hats, or folded sweaters. Invest in stackable storage bins or baskets to maximise space on high shelves. By using vertical space effectively, you can make the most of every inch of your closet.

3. Invest in closet organisers

Closet organisers such as hanging shelves, shoe racks, and drawer dividers can work wonders in keeping your closet tidy. Use hanging shelves to store folded clothes or accessories, shoe racks to keep footwear neatly arranged, and drawer dividers to separate smaller items like socks. These organisers not only help optimise your closet space but also make it easier to locate items when you need them.

4. Implement a rotation system

If you have a big closet with clothes for different seasons, think about rotating them regularly. Store off-season clothes and accessories in labelled bins or garment bags, and rotate them in and out of your closet as needed. This not only saves space but also ensures that your closet remains clutter-free and organised year-round.

5. Group similar items together

To simplify your closet organisation, categorise similar items and group them together. Group your tops, bottoms, and dresses together for easier access when searching for what you need. In each category, take the time to sort items by colour or style, making your closet stand out while also ensuring a functional layout. By grouping similar items together, you'll save time and energy when getting dressed and maintain a tidy closet space.

To keep a large closet tidy, declutter often, use smart organisation solutions, and maximise space. Follow these tips to optimise your closet and enjoy a clutter-free wardrobe.
