Organising your wardrobe can feel like a big task, especially when you have plenty of clothes to go through. Thankfully, drawer organisers are a handy way to keep your wardrobe tidy and well-organised, making it easier to find your favourite clothing.
Sort Out Your Wardrobe
Before you start organising, it may be a good idea to empty your wardrobe and donate clothing that you no longer wear to a charitable cause. While it may seem daunting to spring clean your wardrobe, your effort is rewarded with extra storage space. As such, take the time to go through your clothes and donate those that you have not worn in a year, including duplicates that add clutter to your wardrobe. If you find torn or damaged clothing, recycling it helps ensure that it does not go to waste. Sentimental pieces, such as prized gowns or hand-me-downs from your grandparents, can also be put aside for safekeeping in a dedicated section in your wardrobe.
Once you are done sorting out your wardrobe, you might be surprised to find yourself with a bag full of clothing to be given away. This frees up plenty of space for new items and makes it easier to organise the rest.
Here are a few practical wardrobe organisation tips you can try for yourself:
- Place your work shirts and pants in the topmost drawer
- Place matching clothing sets together in one drawer
- Store inner wear in the bottom-most drawer
Cleaning Up
Before organising your wardrobe, give it a thorough clean-up to remove dust, dust mites, dirt, and other debris. This way, you can keep your reorganised clothes free from anything that could cause irritation or discomfort. Take the time to measure your wardrobe’s drawers to know what drawer organisers you need and keep you from buying mismatched ones. Make sure to bring these measurements with you whenever you go shopping to help you find the right fit.
Categorising & Labelling
When you are ready to organise your wardrobe, plan a categorisation system that works for you. A simple way to do this is to assign a specific role for each drawer in your wardrobe, and then use the most suitable drawer organisers to fulfil that role. Some people may want to sort them out by colours, while others prefer putting shirts at the top and pants at the bottom. How you organise them is entirely up to you, so feel free to work with an arrangement that is most convenient to help you find your choice of outfits every day.
You should also label each drawer clearly to help you find what you need. No more rummaging through every drawer just to find your favourite pair of jeans!
New Ways of Folding Clothes
Drawer space is limited, so maximising it is a good way to keep everything nice and tidy. To achieve that, you can try out different folding techniques, such as rolling your clothes. This can give you plenty more room for other items while also minimising creases, which works exceptionally well for your work shirts and casual shorts.
An alternative would be to fold your clothes as usual and stack them vertically side by side. By doing this, you can have an easier time picking out specific clothing you need, without having to move an entire clothing stack just to find a single shirt. That helps keep your wardrobe tidy as well!
Take Out Bulky Items
Bulky items, like jumpers and jackets, can take up a significant portion of drawer space, so moving them elsewhere would be the right call. You can move these to your clothing cabinets to make organising your wardrobe easier, especially since you will not have to cram these larger, bulkier items into relatively small spaces. You could store them in a larger drawer if you have one, but it may be better to save this space for items you reach for more often.
Accessory Boxes
Drawer organisers are not just for clothes. You can find smaller boxes, inserts, and dividers that can turn a drawer into a dedicated accessory compartment. You can easily position this at the top of your drawer for quick and easy access when you need to accessorise yourself. Say goodbye to misplaced earrings and jewellery cases with this handy upgrade to your wardrobe.
