Closet Hacks To Get Your Space Organized

1. Decrease Stress Levels With Organized Closet Spaces

Homeschooling and Working From Home are lifestyles that are here to stay and so you better start creating conducive environments and spaces for them. This will help keep everyone’s sanity as well as have a different atmosphere between school, work, and home spaces. If you’ve got a specific room you use for homeschooling and as your home office, why not convert its closet for these specific uses.

Organizing your closet for homeschooling or as your work-from-home space is known to significantly decrease your stress levels, so you better get started on it, if you haven’t gotten to it yet.

2. Inexpensive DIY Curtain Ring Hanger To Organize Scarves In Your Closet

Tired of having your scarves collection in one big lump on the closet floor or folded neatly away in some drawer such that it’s such a pain looking for a particular scarf to accessorize your outfit with? Here’s how to organize your closet and all of your scarves: Use inexpensive shower curtain rings looped onto clothes hangers.

Each hanger can hold up to 10 curtain rings meaning 10 scarves will occupy the space of only 1 hanger in your closet. If that’s not an organized closet, then I don’t what is!

3. Another Cool Shower Curtain Rings Closet Organization Hack

If you’re a tank top junkie like I am, you very well know the frustration that comes with owning several tank tops. Folding them is normally not an option – they’re folding frustration central – and they always end up in a pile after I’ve searched for a particular tank top a few times. Don’t even get me started on color stacking – I’ve tried that and it wasn’t even remotely helpful because when they’re stacked, pulling one tank top meaning you end up with several, lol.

But all this frustration is in my history because I finally got a breakthrough: shower curtain rings! You can use shower curtain rings to organize your tank tops. Divide them by color and use each curtain ring to hold a few of each on the closet rail. These shower curtain rings are easy to open yet strong enough to hold a decent number of tanks. Now all I do is to go to the specific curtain ring with the color of the tank I’m looking for, find it, open the ring, and leave everything as neatly as I found it.

Say goodbye to piles of previously hang dresses and open neck tops in your closet.

5. Want To Organize Your Closet & Create Space For New Outfits?

This hack to organize your closet calls for some measuring and cutting but it’s totally worth it. Just add a couple of strips of crown molding to the back of your closet to hang your high heels. When I did this, I went down from 3 closets to just 2.  And you could do the same, especially if there’s a new addition to your family and you need to create some closet space for them.
