Organising a wardrobe in a practical and functional way can take some time and isn't always easy. But we guarantee that the effort will pay off and you'll gain a great deal from it. Ready for a change?

An organised wardrobe with clothes - why is it worth taking care of?

It's not in our nature to engage in activities that don't bring any benefits. So we'll try to convince you that properly organising your wardrobe has nothing but advantages. Although we don't usually spend much time thinking about ways to keep our wardrobe tidy, it's definitely worth doing. An organised wardrobe guarantees:

• cleanliness in your surroundings,
• time saved when looking for items inside it,
• easier oversight of the things you own,
• more frequent use of the items you have,
• greater care for your belongings and their better condition.

As you can see, an organised wardrobe can bring about many positive changes. We're more likely to reach for things or clothes that we can easily find. Similarly, clothes that are well arranged not only wear out less, but also crease less, so you don't have to waste time ironing them.

How to tidy up your wardrobe and get rid of clutter?

Every wardrobe clear-out should start with the same step, whether it's organising a bedroom wardrobe, sorting out clothes, or going through your kids' toys. First, you need to thoroughly go through your belongings. The procedure is the same for toys, gadgets, shoes or clothes. You need to consider whether all the items hidden in the wardrobe are actually needed. So, we tidy up the wardrobe or other space, checking whether all the clothes inside are still needed.

Surprisingly, even at this stage you may find that you no longer wear a large part of them. The reasons can vary - you might have got bored of the clothes, your size might have changed and some no longer fit, or you might simply no longer like them. Regardless of the reason, it's important not to feel guilty and just set them aside. Of course, we're not encouraging you to throw clothes away - it's best to check their condition and pass on those that are still in good shape. A good idea is to find an initiative that allows you to donate unneeded clothes to people who need them.

Clothing categories - sorting and organising your clothes

If you're tidying up your wardrobe, the next step should be grouping your clothes into coherent categories. This could mean, for example, sorting clothes by season - spring, summer, and so on. Since we usually don't have the option of having a separate wardrobe for each season, it's worth adapting your clothes to the current weather and keeping the items you need most nearby or on top. This kind of wardrobe organisation will keep the things you wear within easy reach. A highly recommended way to keep your wardrobe under control and make getting dressed easier every day is to create a capsule wardrobe. It's worth considering if you often can't decide what to wear, or if despite having plenty of clothes, you feel like you have nothing to wear. Here you can see how to create a capsule wardrobe for children and discover its benefits.

Organising wardrobes in the bedroom, hallway and beyond

If you've already started organising your wardrobe, it's worth continuing and not stopping there. You've probably already noticed how many unnecessary clothes you had. The same is likely true for shoes and other items. It's worth going through your belongings from time to time and thinking about how to organise your wardrobe to make it more practical - there's usually something that can be improved to boost its functionality. And this applies not just to clothes; keeping things tidy is highly recommended no matter what you store inside.

Other tricks and ways to keep your wardrobe tidy

It's a good idea to try finding the folding method that works best for you. Using the right organisers or hangers, along with simple clothes-folding tricks, will additionally help keep your wardrobe tidy. You can use traditional square folding, the popular KonMari method, or roll your clothes. It all depends on the type of clothes and the type of wardrobe. It's best to hang as many clothes as possible to prevent creasing. Small items, such as socks, are best kept in special underwear organisers, which helps maintain order.
