For today’s tip of the week I’m sharing 5 simple hacks to instantly help your closet be more organized.  The best part is that most of these are all free and don’t cost a dime!
 
Remove Dry Cleaning Bags-Not only do those plastic bags carry harsh chemicals, but they clutter up your closet!  By removing them your space your closet will immediately look more organized.


Create a Hanger Hangout- (thank you @getorganizedbystephanie for the catchy phrase!) Choose a spot at the front or back of your closet where you group all of your empty hangers together.  This makes it easier to put clean clothes away rather than searching through a sea of clothes to find an empty hanger.   

Organize by Category- Grouping like items together, ie:shirts, tanks, pants, jackets, etc makes getting dressed easier because you know where everything is. PRO TIP: *for an added bonus you could add clothing rack dividers https://amzn.to/3Q02jmv

Organize by Color-This is for my ROYGBIV lovers!  There’s something about a monochromatic color scheme that is soothing and calming to our emotions.  It also makes it easy to put stuff away!

Streamline Hangers-One of the easiest and inexpensive organizing products that give you a big bang for your buck are simple thin streamlined hangers.  When all of your clothes sit at the same level it creates a cohesive look.  These are my personal faves https://amzn.to/3TQbo2o
Remember that getting organized doesn’t have to cost a lot of money or take a lot of time. It’s little steps each day that help you to live an organized life.
