Shomei Pear: Closets, closets, and more closets

Trying to get organized. So I'm looking into closet design ideas as the air of spring is now upon us. I also need to do some spring cleaning inside my closet as well.

Here's some tips on how to edit one's wardrobe:

Get Started and Clean up

Prep

Pull everything out of your wardrobe and onto the bed.

Plan

Things you'll need for your editing:

Full-length mirror
Garbage bags
Labels and lots of hangers

Ask a friend to come over to help. Second opinions are great to have on deciding what items to keep and toss.

Sort

Create four piles: (1) Things to Keep, (2) Items that need attention(dry clean/tailor), (3) Thing to Toss, (4) Things to Donate/Resell
If it looks bad on you, haven't worn it in two years ('two-year rule'), or is too big or too small, it's time to get ride of it.
Remember: Be ruthless when editing!

Organize and Store

Decide what to store

Use seasonality or frequency of use be to determine what to keep in the closet and what to store.

Organize hanging garments by type and color.

Skirts with skirts. Blouses with blouses. By keeping like with like, options for a given outfit are clear at a glance.

Upgrade your hanger.

Your closet will look neater if you use just one type of hanger—wood, sturdy wire, or plastic.

Arrange folded items.

Any clothing that will stretch out of shape should be folded over hangers.
When organizing the folded clothing you’ll store on shelves, place heavier items at the bottom of the pile, and lighter ones at the top.
After folding, arrange garments by function (workout tops together, business tops together, etc.) and color (white to nude to bright colors to black).
If your closet doesn’t have shelves, consider using part of your clothing rod for hanging canvas ones.

Get a garment bag.

A sturdy canvas garment bag protects fine suits, dresses, and jackets better than plastic.

Smart Storage to manage odds and ends.

Buy bins, baskets, containers, or hat/storage boxes to hold items that can’t be hung on hangers.

Pick a system for storing shoes.

Choose between a shoe rack on the floor, a hanging shoe organizer, see-through plastic boxes, or original shoe boxes with photographs stapled to them to identify the boxes’ contents.

Add some style to your closet

Add a boutique touch

Paint the walls or the back wall
Install vintage hooks
Hang a pendant or small chandelier light
Add an footstool or ottoman

Before changing the layout of my closet, I thought about looking up some closet style designs for inspirations. Here are some below:

Love the damask design! Anyone know good places to get damask storage boxes?
