But help is at hand! Step by step, we give you tips and ideas on how to organize your closet. With our system, tidying up will be easy for you and you can reclaim the space in your closet. The best tricks for more order in the closet:
Searching was yesterday - get an overview in your closet
Thanks to the fast fashion industry and fast-moving fashion trends, more clothing accumulates over the course of life than you probably would like. You can now find the results of numerous shopping escapades in your chaotic wardrobe. If you want to organize this because you are sinking into chaos and can't stand the clutter any longer, it is essential that you first get an overview of your clothes. The best way to do this is to take the individual parts out of the cupboard, classify them into categories and stack them. So you have a stack of pants, a stack of t-shirts, a stack of sweaters, and so on. With the help of this stack organization we now come to the next step.
Everything must go - get rid of legacy issues
Once you start organizing your closet and tidying it up, you can hardly avoid sorting it out. You may still have many of your clothes and shoes from other times and life situations, perhaps you simply no longer like some items of clothing or no longer feel right. Go through your stacks part by part and get rid of all the clothes that no longer make you feel good. You can, for example, donate discarded and unloved clothing, sell it at the flea market or online platforms, or distribute the clothes among friends. This gives the clothes a chance for a new life and you don't waste the valuable resources used to make the clothes.
A cabinet with structure
Too much space in the closet tempts you to use it. In order to bring more structure into your closet and to be able to put your outfit together at a glance, it makes sense to massively reduce the closet and thus the storage space. Instead of losing clothes in a large closet with a lot of space, you can use a clothes rail, for example. For example, one idea for a better organization system is to organize your clothes on hangers. This way you automatically have more order and can see at a glance what you have and how you can combine different pieces. It also helps many people to sort their clothes by color and only have seasonal favorites visible in the closet.
Less is more - organize according to the capsule wardrobe principle
You've probably heard of a capsule wardrobe before. Actively reducing clothing to basic items that can be combined with one another is an absolute game changer when it comes to organizing your closet. When it comes to your children’s clothing, you are sure to pay attention to sustainability and slow fashion, such as our selected items of clothing made from GOTS-certified organic cotton. We rely on the highest quality and timeless cuts and styles so that many generations can enjoy them. And in your wardrobe, too, you should start focusing on good quality and the best workmanship. It is better to have a small, clear selection of clothing instead of masses that are not used. You can learn more about the Capsule Wardrobe and how you can rearrange your wardrobe according to this system in our article on the subject.
