<\/p>\nClosets are wonderful places in homes, but they can get messy very easily. From pantry closets to bedroom closets, closets are a great way to store your items away from plain view. However, that can lead us to not worry about keeping them organized and tidy. Clean closets are more than just aesthetically pleasing. If they\u2019re organized, you\u2019ll be able to see and get exactly what you need without having to push through piles of clutter. And, it can be completed in five simple steps!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Using the bedroom closet as an example, start by sorting everything by type. Sort your shoes, bags, shirts, pants, jackets, etc. into separate piles. It may look overwhelming at first, but this step is crucial to getting your closet back in order. If you\u2019re cleaning out your pantry, sort the soup cans, cereal boxes, snacks, pasta, etc. into separate piles as well. Whichever closet you\u2019re organizing, sort the items by type.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once the items are sorted by type, this is the time to determine if you\u2019re going to keep, toss, or donate any items. By seeing similar items next to each other, you\u2019ll begin to see that you may have multiples of the same shirt, markers, or ketchup bottle. This step will help immensely of making sure you have plenty of space in the closet.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now that you\u2019ve taken the time to sort by type and keep only what is useful and necessary, it\u2019s time to store your items in a similar way. Designate sections in the closet for your items and keep them together. Dress shirts should go in the shirt section and nut butters should be stored together. Bins and baskets are great ways to keep like items together!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
This step may seem unnecessary, but it really helps with visual appeal and identifying what you need. By color coding your items in their respective sections, you\u2019ll be able to quickly find what you need! For example, tomato cans are almost always red. If you\u2019re looking for diced tomatoes, all of you have to do is look in the canned section and sort through the red cans. It is easy as that! The same goes for your clothing and you\u2019ll realize the benefits even when you\u2019re shopping. When you remember the pack of black sweaters you have, you\u2019ll resist buying the black one and instead opt for the red. This is not only more functional but also more economical!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After you\u2019re finished organizing and storing your items in the closet, the last important step is to make sure you continue to stick with the guidelines you\u2019ve set for your closet. This involves making sure you\u2019re not randomly tossing things into the closet. Take the time to keep your closet organized so all of your hard work don\u2019t disappear. A few extra seconds dedicated to putting things nicely where they belong will make a big difference.<\/p>\n
