10 tips for organizing small wardrobes

Now let's get down to business. Below, we've put together 10 important tips for anyone who wants to keep their small wardrobe organized.

First of all, empty your closet.

The first tip is: empty and clean your closet. This way, you will be able to better visualize all the space you have and better understand all the potential that your closet has.

And let's agree that it's much easier to start an organization from scratch, right? That way everything stays 100% organized!

Pass on anything you no longer use

Everyone has those pieces of clothing that no longer fit, but we still have that hope of wearing them again, right? Or that piece of clothing that, despite being quite old, we don't have the courage to throw away.

Whether you like it or not, all these items can take up a lot of valuable space in your small wardrobe. So the golden rule is: let go! Hoarding is one of the biggest enemies of organization.

You can donate it to someone in need or to some charity or even hold a rummage sale. This way, you will have a good amount of space for future purchases.

The ideal is to practice this exercise with a certain frequency. Many people do it every six months or annually.

Invest in dividers for your drawers 

Another great option for those looking for organization but have a small wardrobe is the use of dividers. 

Honeycomb-type models are excellent for organizing and storing accessory drawers, such as socks and underwear, for example.

Use all the available space in your small wardrobe

When you don't have as much space as you'd like, a great solution is to use all the potential your small wardrobe has. And that includes both the inside and the outside.

If your room has the necessary space, you can use the sides of your wardrobe to hang accessories on hooks. You can hang everything from jewelry to bags and hats. 

Just be careful not to pile up too many pieces and make the side cluttered with accessories.

Use the power of wall shelves

Did you follow the tips and still don't have enough space in your wardrobe? You can also use shelves on the walls. This way, you can use space that would otherwise go unused. 

You can use these shelves to store bags and shoes, for example.

If possible, divide clothes by season

This tip can make life much easier for those who want to keep their own small wardrobe well organized. Separate your wardrobe according to the seasons. Keep the clothes that don't fit the season's weather.

For example: If it's summer and we're facing higher temperatures, make the lighter, more comfortable clothes – which you'll wear more often – easier to access, and the same thing when winter arrives.

Pay extra attention to hangers

It may seem simple, but organizing your hangers well makes all the difference in organizing your small wardrobe.

Separate the hanger models you have at home, organize them into groups and always place them in the same direction. 

In addition to making your wardrobe more visually pleasing, doing this will make your day-to-day life more practical, as it will be easier to pick up clothes without making a mess.

And, in addition to prioritizing hangers for items that can wrinkle more easily, know how to choose which item goes on which type of hanger.

Heavier items – such as sweaters and jackets – should be stored on more resistant hangers, such as wooden ones. 

Lighter items – such as t-shirts and shirts – can be stored on plastic hangers.

Store very specific pieces separately

Remember that party dress you wore as a bridesmaid? Or that bulky blazer you wore to a fancy event? They can take up a lot of space in your small wardrobe.

Therefore, it is recommended that you find another place – a box or an organizing basket, for example – to keep them separate from the clothes that you use much more frequently.

But be careful: remember to always store these items with great care and in suitable places. This way, you will prevent them from getting damaged due to being stored for so long.

Set aside a corner for bed linen in your wardrobe

Now it's time to deal with them: the sheets and bedding. Everyone knows that folding a fitted sheet can be a very difficult task and requires a lot of skill.

But remember that it's for a greater good: organizing your small closet! So, set aside a corner to store your bed linens and sheets. Depending on the number of pieces and how you're going to fold them, they can be stored in one of your drawers.

Always use aroma sachets in your wardrobe

Okay, this may not be directly related to organization, but it's always good to pick up that piece when you're ready to use it and smell it nicely. 

To do this, invest in flavoring sachets and sachets. 

Choose the scent you like the most and put it in your wardrobe. Believe me, it will make a huge difference.

Conclusion

See how easy it is to keep a small wardrobe organized? With discipline and using the right resources, it's easy to make the most of your wardrobe's potential and still prioritize organization.
