How to Declutter

Decluttering your closet can be a great way to simplify your life and create more space.
Here are some steps to help you declutter your closet:

  • Set aside some time: Depending on the size of your closet, decluttering can take several hours or more. Set aside a block of time when you can focus on the task without distractions.

  • Empty your closet: Take everything out of your closet and place it on your bed or another flat surface. This will give you a clear view of everything you own and help you decide what to keep and what to get rid of.

  • Sort your items: Divide your clothing and accessories into categories such as keep, donate, and toss. Be honest with yourself and get rid of anything that you haven't worn in a year or more, doesn't fit you well, or is damaged beyond repair.

  • Consider your lifestyle: Think about your lifestyle and the activities you engage in. Keep items that you wear regularly or that you need for specific occasions. Donate or toss items that no longer fit your lifestyle or that you haven't used in a long time.

  • Organize what's left: Once you've decided what to keep, organize your closet by category, color, or another system that works for you. Use hangers, shelves, and drawers to keep your items tidy and accessible.

  • Dispose of unwanted items: Donate items that are still in good condition to a local charity or thrift store. Toss damaged or stained items in the trash or recycle bin.

Remember, decluttering your closet is an ongoing process. Set a goal to review your closet every season or twice a year to keep it organized and clutter-free.
