RE: How are your closets organized?
Permalink Closed

I share a smallish walk-in with my BF (8x4). He has 1/4 of the closet for all his stuff, and the rest of the space is mine. devilish.gif

Everything is organized by type, and then color for the most part. I hang all my clothes on IKEA wooden hangers...except for half the dresses. I've been accumulating too many and haven't been back to IKEA to get any more hangers. ashamed

* Wifebeaters are folded and arranged in ROYGBIV order on a shelf that faces the closet door. I keep white, gray, and black ones directly below the others.

* Tees are folded and arranged in ROYGBIV order next to the beaters.

* I have intimates in one drawer, and socks/swimwear in another drawer that sits under the shelf.

* I have these shelves on the left side of the closet for my jeans, casual pants, and workout/non-Juicy lounge pants.

The pants are not in any particular order, but they're all neatly folded.

* Next to the pants shelves are my boots, which hang on Container Store boot hangers. Best. Invention. Ever.

* I have a cheapy plastic 3-drawer thing like these next to my boots that holds my accesories (hats/belts/scarves/sunglasses)

* Above the pants sheleves are my camisoles, blouses, hoodies, and jackets. They are hung by sleeve length and then ROYGBIV order. I fold Juicy pants and keep them underneath matching hoodies.

* On the right side of the closet I have dress pants and skirts hung by color order. I keep dresses hung next to them, categorized by length.

* Next to the dresses is this hanging shelf.

The top two compartments hold hangbags, the next two hold sweaters, and the bottom two hold workout tops/hooded sweatshirts. Everything is catergorized by color.

We just saw some new construction condos in our area recently with gorgeous walk-in closets. They came complete with shoe shelves. I can't wait until I can have a customized walk-in closet. heart.gif

Shirts, blouses, and sweaters are organized by color: green, blue, purple, pink, red, orange, yellow, brown, tan, white, grey, black.  Dress pants and skirts follow.  Then coats and jackets. 

Folded shirts go in cubbies by color.  One for greens and blues, another for pinks and purples, and one for white, black, and brown.

I have two cubbies for denim, one for colored pants, and one for khaki, white, brown, and black pants.

Shoes are in a shoe wardrobe thingy, what I can fit in there anyway.  I'm deciding on a new system.

I live alone and have a few closets so each closet has a specific purpose. I have a skirt/dress closet, a long-sleeved shirt closet, a short sleeved/sleeveless/cami closet, and a pants closet. Other than that, I don't break them down by color or anything.

Type, but with some idiosyncracies such as keeping knit tops separate from woven tops, then pant or sleeve length, then color. If I went by color first it would defeat the purpose of finding anything since 70 percent of the closet would be black!

My closet has hanging space in a sort of a U-shape, so sometimes I put something funky on each side facing front just to look at more often.

Dresses, then skirts, then work pants. Jackets and cardigans are seperated into colored casual, colored work and black, with my 3 double hook belt hangers with tanks inbetween the 3 jacket/sweater categories (because the hooks were getting caught) of the 3 tank hangers, I have one for wife beaters and shelf bra spaghetti tanks, one for others (usually patterend shells) and one for black items. Then I have my shirts organized by color.

Workout gear is in a tall laundry basket on the closet floor, with a second one for my chilax'n clothes. Jeans and cords are folded and tossed on the shelf above my hanging clothes.

The 5 drawer dresser in the bedroom has:
nighties
other pajamas
underwear (divided into cheapy cotton wear-with-jeans types,seamless wear to work types, and sexy ones)
Hosiery and bathing suits
socks (divided by black/patterened, casual/white athletic)

Sweaters are in drawers in the spare room with my accessory "closet" (it's a giant old wardrobe from my grandmother-it's purses, belts, wraps & scarves, and headbands, misc other small stuff)) and the spare closet is home to my shoes and formal dresses.
