Spring Cleaning Your Bedroom Closet: Helpful Tips to Get Organized

Spring is the season of renewal! As the weather warms and the days grow longer, it’s the perfect time to take on the task of spring cleaning, including your bedroom closet.

A closet can easily become a catch-all for clutter and things that no longer serve you. Spring cleaning offers the perfect opportunity to organize your space and reclaim it as an orderly, functional part of your home.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you tackle your bedroom closet and make it a well-organized space for the season ahead!

Prepare

Before you dive in, take some time to gather some basic supplies such as trash bags, donation bins, hangers, and organizational tools like baskets, dividers, or shelf organizers.

Empty the closet

Start by taking everything out of your closet. Yes, everything! This helps you get a clear view of the items you had in your closet and helps you easily view the space you have to work with.

Sort through your items

Now comes the most important part—sorting. This process can be challenging, but when done well, you’ll feel lighter and less stressed by removing the things you don’t really use. Separate your clothes into three categories: Keep, Donate and Trash. As you go through each item, ask yourself these questions to help decide what you really should keep:

Do I wear it regularly? Have I worn it in the past year?
Does it fit? Is it more than one size up or down from my current size?
Is it still in good condition and in style?

Create a newly organized closet

Think about your lifestyle, the items you use most, and how you prefer to store and access them. Here are some ideas for maximizing your closet’s efficiency:

Use slim, velvet hangers to maximize hanging space.
Group items into zones with the space (e.g., pants, dresses, jackets), then organize each zone by color to create a streamlined look.
Utilize shelf dividers and storage bins to keep folded clothes neat.
Install hooks or pegs on the inside of your closet door for accessories or quick grab items.

Enjoy your organized closet!

Finally, take a moment to admire your hard work. A well-organized closet not only looks better but can also save you time! By only keeping the things that fit your current needs, and storing them in organized zones, you’ll now be able to find the things you need quickly and easily.

Sometimes, you may need to add custom shelving, drawers, rods, and other accessories to maximize the functionality of your closet space.
