Ideas for Improving Any Closet

This is a no brainer to understand – organization is the key to reducing your daily stress level around the closets in your home. Starting with the master bedroom closet. Getting this space organized will help morning time dressing to be an enjoyable peaceful experience.

Your first step is to deal with the “stuff” that is in the space now.

Completely Empty Your Closet

Divide everything into 3 piles:
- Keep it / repair it
- Donate it / give it away
- Trash it / recycle it
You can go one step further if you are motivated – divide your items into spring, summer, winter and fall and keep only the current season’s clothing in your closet. Find a place to put the other items tucked away.

Now here are some questions to ask yourself what you want in your closet to develop ideas for improving your closet and taking it to the next level.

Do you want or need these items in the closet space?

A chair
Mirror
Dresser or set of drawers
Ironing board / iron
TV or radio
Window or Skylight for natural lighting
A safe for valuables and jewelry?
Purses / handbags
Hanging options – hooks, rods, shelving, inside of closet door, etc.
Shoe options – rack, shelving, hanging, etc.
Lighting and what types

Open storage like baskets
Place to hid suitcases
Door – barn, glass, solid wood
