Use All Matching Hangers In Your Closets

DIY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Choose your hanger type and color.

2. Take sections of hangers off of the rod, 20-30 at a time.

3. Switch out hangers in sections and return them to the rod as you have the hangers switched out.

4. As you switch out hangers, hang everything with the tops of the hangers going the same direction so all of the fronts of your clothing are facing the same way. Make sure that everything is zipped up all the way and that items are not inside out while you hang everything up. We like to button the second button only on items with buttons.

5. Hang the sections of clothing back on the rod as you go, 20-30 at a time before you remove the next section. This keeps your room from becoming out of control during the process.

PRO ORGANIZER TIP

We love velvet and wooden hangers, but you do not have to invest in these for a streamlined look. All white plastic in a master closet or light pink plastic in a little girl’s closet establish the same consistency and streamlined look.

PRO ORGANIZER TIP

Backstock items do not need to live under your kitchen sink. It is best to have a separate backstock area in your home in the garage, storage room, laundry room cabinet or hall closet, so that you can maintain a clutter free home that is easy to maintain.

Do not overfill each area. The more you put in a single space, the less organized and streamlined it will look. Buy more divider sticks and start a second utensil drawer if needed.

Separate your clothing in your closet- Short sleeve. Long sleeve. Tanks. Dresses. Blazers. Jackets. Athletic.

2. Once everything is facing the same way, make sure items are not inside out and that items are zipped completely up.

3. Start with two categories - nicer clothing and casual clothing. Decide which area of your closet you want nicer clothing and which area of your closet you want casual clothing. Hang the items in those two categories.

4. Once you have these categories, separate the nicer clothing into Short sleeve. Long sleeve. Tanks. Dresses. Blazers. Jackets. And the casual clothing into Short Sleeve. Long sleeve. Tanks. Athletic.
