Tip #1

Invest in matching hangers. It's one of the easiest ways to elevate the look of your closet and save space on a hanging rack.

Tip #2

Acrylic magazine dividers make excellent handbag holders. You can keep small to medium handbags upright and delicate ones in their own compartment. It also works well for clutches or bags without a structured bottom!

Tip #3

If you are new to organizing, don't try to tackle your closet all in one day. Not only because it's physically challenging, but it can also be emotionally draining and complicated. It's not like a pantry where you get rid of items because they're expired. Clothing holds more emotional value. Instead, break the project up into bite-sized steps. Start with one category of clothing and continue from there.

Tip #4

Create stations that flow with your everyday routine. For instance, adding over the door storage for your purse, sunglasses, and any other item you grab on your way out the door.

Tip #5

Follow the 80/20 rule, meaning your space should only be 80 percent full at any given time. Leaving 20 percent gives you permission to bring home a new pair of shoes or a handbag without risking overcrowding.
