CLOSET ORGANIZING TIPS

Your bedroom provides a peaceful place to start and end each day. The key to preserving this sanctuary is to have a place for everything and keep it organized. It may seem like a daunting task but with the right storage system and these inspiring ideas, you can transform an inefficient space to an organized oasis.

Deciding what to wear is more fun than ever in this deluxe dressing room. A space for two designed with two finishes in Chateau and Maple welcomes suits, sweaters, blouses, and bags--anything you need to store on the go. Rows of racks proudly display a selection of shoes. Steal a "me" moment--reflect on a mirror or unwind on a bench after a busy day.

Eco-nize can take your reach-in closet from baseline to brilliant. It hides, hangs, and holds in so fine-a-fashion that you may be tempted to leave the doors open. A hutch tucked inside the closet space takes away the need for a bulky bureau in your room. Sturdy shelves store stacks of sweaters neatly. In rich mahagony finish, this classic closet is a welcome start, even on a Monday morning.



FOUR EASY TIPS TO ORGANIZE YOUR CLOSET

Take inventory: Use a checklist to think about the items that need to be stored or removed. Ask yourself:
How frequently is it used?
How many items need to be accommodated?
Is there a more appropriate place for it?
Is it time to dispose of it?
Remove the extras. Reduce visual clutter and gain more space by removing items you rarely or never wear because they don't fit, aren't comfortable, or are out of style. Sort them in four boxes: belongs elsewhere; give away or sell; not ready to get rid of, and trash. Date the not ready to get rid of box and look through it a few months to determine if the clothes still should be saved.

Group like items together - Shirts or blouses all in one area, skirts or pants in another. Use double-hung racks, one at waist height and one at eye level, to separate attire and maximize hanging space. Having designated areas for your items means you will always know where to put them away and where to find them the next time.

Keep objects close at hand if they are worn often. Save time looking for your favorite clothes and accessories by putting them in a place that's easy to reach. Designate your top shelf for storing items used infrequently.
