- Prior to tidying up, remove all items from your bedroom closet to start with a blank canvas.
- Utilize your older baskets, storage bins, and organizational tools first before purchasing anything new to help reduce clutter.
- Invest in good-quality closet hangers to stop your garments from sliding off and forming heaps on the ground.
Regarding organizational skills, my mother excels at implementing efficient methods for decluttering spaces, particularly bedroom closets. She consistently stays ahead by updating her wardrobe with seasonal changes, making it simpler to locate items suitable for hotter or cooler climates.
As summer is just about to start, I requested her to provide her top suggestions for decluttering a bedroom closet to make it more functional for both of us.
Begin Anew
Even though you might think it’s simpler to stick with your present closet setups, they could end up causing extra effort over time. My mother suggests removing everything from the closets, allowing you to clearly see all of your possessions at once. By doing this, you’ll easily organize which things to hold onto and which ones to give away.
After you’ve removed everything, vacuum meticulously, particularly in concealed corners that have remained dark for ages. Next, wipe down all the grimy areas with disinfectant cloths.

Leverage What You Already Possess
There’s no need to purchase additional organizing supplies; my mother recommends looking at what you already own to find potential containers.
For instance, she has revamped storage bins by removing their tops and turning them sideways to accommodate large sweaters and hoodies on the uppermost closet shelf. Additionally, she repurposed some discarded wicker baskets for holding scarves, throws, and various textiles.
Opt for Quality Hangers
One investment that my mother always makes is
closet hangers
. She’s a strong believer that good hangers will make or break your closet.
She mentions that using weak hangers can result in your cherished tops and jackets slipping off, leading to disorganized heaps on the floor. It can be quite annoying and daunting to continually begin anew each time you look into your wardrobe.
My mother specifically enjoys using velvet hangers because they keep silk blouses and weighty jackets from slipping off. She also has another method where she buttons the topmost button of her tops; this ensures they remain securely fastened to the hanger.
Don’t Forget Accessories
Your accessories might slip your notice because they tend to be tiny things, yet establishing effective organizational methods for these can really pay off, according to my mother.
Whether it’s hats,
scarves
, or belts, look for baskets or specialized hangers that will allow you to easily view all your items at a glance.
My mom says they can quickly become misplaced or cause chaos if not stored correctly,
