Ready to start but don’t know how to organize your wardrobe? Follow the tips that Jota Barbosa Interiors has for you, and your day-to-day will be even more functional!

Empty and clean your closet

This is the first step to achieving your longed-for wardrobe dream. Start by removing everything from the closet, from hangers to boxes or even shelves, if possible. You will need a clean and clear space to plan and visualize how you are going to restructure the whole space.

Firstly, give shelving and hanging racks a thorough cleaning. The important thing at this stage is to make sure that all corners are sanitized in order to put your clothes in good hands.

When cleaning out your closet it is essential that you also evaluate your wardrobe to make sure that excess items do not remain.  Ask yourself “Do I feel confident wearing this piece?” or “Can this piece be coordinated with the rest of my closet?” “How many times have I worn this piece in the last year? These are some of the questions to think about when organising your closet.

Divide by category

Among all the closet organization tips, this is one of the most important to make your day-to-day easier. If you know what you need and where in your wardrobe you can find it, then it becomes much easier the moment of dressing and even when you want to put it back.

An interesting way to do this division is to start with larger categories such as clothes, shoes and accessories and then sub-divide by pieces, for example, coats, trousers, jumpers, etc.  A tip that makes a total difference is to organize the pieces by colour. When you go into your wardrobe and find all the colour-coordinated pieces you will see how easy it will be to choose the look of the day. The gradient effect will give a calm aesthetic and a composed look to the room.

The pieces you wear less frequently should be placed in an area of the wardrobe that is harder to reach so that they don’t get in the way of the rest of your wardrobe. Organizer boxes are excellent options for storing last season’s pieces.

Accessories to help you organise

Organizing your wardrobe should start with hangers. From plastic hangers to wooden ones, black or transparent, or even coloured hangers, the options are endless to arrange your clothes as you like. Besides being visually more attractive, you will see all the pieces more easily. The ideal is that they are all the same, in the same colour and material, so that harmony prevails.

Organizing boxes are excellent choices for placing smaller pieces such as underwear, t-shirts or even scarves. If you decide to include them in your wardrobe, label the contents and make everything as functional as possible.

The trouser holder helps you to better visualize your clothes, instead of storing them in drawers, and it’s an excellent option to hang your clothes by length to create a harmonious visual impact.

Marie Kondo method

The KonMari method is a philosophy that encourages people to let go of items that no longer have a happy purpose to their life and to keep only those that are meaningful.

A fascinating aspect of this method is that it associates the organisation of the home and its balance with an inner peace and the feeling that everything is aligned.  This proposal aims for a real detachment from everything that no longer serves us.
