The Art of Closet Organization: A Personalized Approach

As I embark on this journey of organizing my closet, I'm excited to share my personal approach to maximizing every inch of space. My goal is to create a functional and efficient system that makes it easy to find what I need, while also reducing stress and clutter.

My Journey Begins with Baskets

I started by selecting the perfect baskets to organize my clothes. I chose white baskets from Ikea, which were available for around $10 each. What I love about this basket system is its ability to sub-categorize clothing items. Instead of having a single bin for tops, I created separate bins for casual tops, nice tops, workout tops, and crop tops. This approach makes it easy to grab exactly what I need without having to sift through everything.

To label each bin, I used my trusty label maker. There's something satisfying about seeing the neatly labeled bins that help me quickly identify what's inside. The labels also make it easy for others (if they're helping with laundry) to understand where things are supposed to go.

Undergarments and Socks: A Separate System

For undergarments, I found an awesome organizer set from Amazon that consisted of four pieces, all for just $13. One section is dedicated to bras, which can be stacked neatly inside the bins. Another section has dividers that allow me to sort underwear into pairs, making it easy to grab a matching pair. The third section is perfect for socks, and I also use one of the organizers as a divider for sticky bras or scarves.

For my undergarments, I decided to create a three-drawer container from IKEA. I used this set to separate my nicer underwear (top drawer), casual/pregnancy underwear (middle drawer), and socks (bottom drawer). This setup makes it easy to find what I need without having to dig through everything.

Jewelry Organization

Next, I turned my attention to jewelry organization. I found a three-drawer set from IKEA that was perfect for sorting necklaces, earrings, rings, and watches. I placed the top two drawers on the middle shelf, where I can easily access them while getting dressed. The bottom drawer is used for rings and watches, and I also use one of the drawers as a separate container for my earrings.

Earring Tree

To keep my earrings organized, I created an earring tree using a string and some hooks. This keeps all my silver and gold earrings separated and makes it easy to see what I have. It's also a great way to display my favorite pieces.

Purse Organization

For purse organization, I used a coat rack in the corner of my closet. I placed it here because it helps keep bags and hats from getting wrinkled or creased. The coat rack is also super convenient for visually seeing what I have – I can just scan the rack to see what's available.

Purse Rack with Hooks

To add an extra layer of organization, I hung a purse rack from the ceiling using hooks. This keeps my purses and backpacks organized and makes it easy to find what I need. The hooks also help keep hats in place, keeping them looking their best.

The Final Touch: Shoes

For shoes, I used two different organizers: a boot rock organizer from Amazon and a simple shoe rack from IKEA. The boot rock organizer helps keep my boots looking their best, while the shoe rack provides a convenient way to store all my shoes.

Final Overlook

As I step back to admire my hard work, I can see that my closet is finally organized. Each section has its own unique system, making it easy to find what I need without having to dig through everything. The baskets and organizers have helped me sub-categorize items, reducing clutter and stress.

The nesting mood is real! As I continue on this journey of organizing every inch of space, I'm excited to share more tips and tricks with you. If you're new here, consider subscribing for more organization and cleaning content.

In conclusion, my closet organization journey has been a success, thanks to the right tools and systems. By creating separate bins for clothing items, using label makers, and incorporating specialized organizers, I've transformed my closet into a functional and efficient space that makes it easy to find what I need.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys and welcome back to my channel so I am finally here after much anticipation with my closet organization video this is also a closet makeover because you'll see the before and after I completely redid everything inside of my closet and I'm absolutely in love with it so I hope you guys will get some good ideas from this so what I have now in my current house is a small size walk-in closet but I am aware that closets come in all shapes and sizes so I'm going to talk about how we can modify all of these ideas for a smaller sized closet the big theme here is utilizing a lot of the vertical space in a closet versus just the horizontal space and the one bar where clothes can hang from we're not just talking clothing also I'm going to show you how I organize my shoes boots accessories jewelry handbags all that kind of fun stuff I think what I'm most excited and proud of in this closet makeover is the fact that I had a custom closet look and feel for a fraction of the price just by putting in some shelves I need to thank my stepdad he was able to do this for me it was not that hard to do it's just three shelves you guys will see in a minute what I'm talking about and it really helped transform the space so anyway with all of that said I'm not going to talk too much and let's go ahead and jump into some ideas for closet organizations ok so here's what my closet looked like before and now I'm going to show you step by step how I reorganized it the first thing I did was install three shelves on this back wall in order to better utilize the vertical space another idea here is to put in a dresser depending on your closet size and space whatever works for you but the shelves are really easy to put in and I decided to go with these adjustable shelves so I could change the configuration if I ever need to the baskets to organize my clothes I went with are these white ones from Ikea and there were about $10 each what I really love about this basket system is I was able to sub categorize all of my clothing items so rather than just putting all of my tops together I put casual tops in one bin nice tops workout tops crop tops so it is really easy to grab exactly what I need and I use the label maker to label each bin because you guys know I will find any excuse in the world to use my label maker so this is how all of the bin look like put together for undergarments I found these awesome organizers from Amazon and a four piece set was only $13 so really good price one of them is for bras and you can see it's really nice to have them all stack up like this and it happened to fit perfectly inside my bins so that was nice and they also have these other dividers one is really great to use for underwear so each pair could get its own a little slot rolled up and these other two organizers you can use for socks or sticky bras or even scarves what I decided to use from my underwear and socks was actually this three drawer container that I found at IKEA for $15 the top drawer I'm using for my nicer underwear the middle is for my casual / pregnancy underwear and the bottom is for socks so this is how I have my undergarments all organized I used another one of these three drawer sets for my jewelry I put my necklaces in the top two drawers and the bottom drawer is for my rings and watches for my earrings I have them all set up on this earring tree which I already had and I have them separated by silver and gold earrings I put this all on the middle shelf like so because I tend to pick out my jewelry while I'm getting dressed so this is just the most convenient setup for me on the top shelf I put these wicker bins I found at Target and these have bigger bulkier items in them like blankets robes my travel bags and holiday clothes these are lighter weight than the other bins so they're easier to grab from the top shelf for my purses backpacks and hats I use a coat rack to organized these I put them in the corner of my closet I really like this method because it helps your bags and hats keep their shape and it makes it really easy to just visually see everything that you have and as a side note I did an entire video on purse organization with a lot more detail and I will have that video linked down below next - this is my new hamper I decided to upgrade to a nicer hamper system which I'm in love with this one has three baskets so you could sort your clothes lights darks and colors or however you want to sort your clothes and I love that it's on wheels so it's really easy to move around each of the individual baskets are removable so you can remove and wash each set of clothes as the fill out now for my shoes starting with boots I'm using this really cool boot rock organizer that I found on Amazon I like how it helps your boots keep their shape and somehow I only have one pair of boots at the moment I think the others must have gotten lost or donated by mistake and might move but for now this is what I have going on for my boots and for all of my other shoes I just found this simple shoe rack this is nothing fancy but it is well made this is also from Amazon and the dimensions fit perfectly for the space that I needed I have my shoes sorted by casual on the top and then the nicer shoes on the bottom and the last component to finish out my claws is all of my hung up clothes so above the hamper on the right side of the closet I put all of my jackets and coats and then on the left side in the back or all of my nicer special occasion dresses and in the front are my more casual everyday dresses and the last piece is this hanger with curtain rings on it which I use to hang all of my maternity tank tops so those are all of the elements and now here is just an
