How to organise your wardrobe

"I have nothing to wear" — something we all think to ourselves weekly. This is not due to our lack of clothes, but because of their chaotic arrangement we don’t know what we have in our wardrobe.

To prevent this, you should declutter, preferably at least twice a year, in spring/summer and autumn/winter.

Firstly, select a group of clothes that you wear often, which are a good size and which you love. You can easily hang them or put them in the wardrobe first as these are keepers.

Tips

Keep work clothes at eye level, hanging in a section together and on the same shelf — they will be easy to find when you are half asleep. Better yet, when putting your clothes away hang them up as outfits. You will only need to grab one hanger in the morning.

If you have deep shelves and want to make the most of them, organise your clothes into groups. The clothes you put in the back are those worn less often, and to the front are clothes suitable for every day.

Divide the rest of the shelves into different types of clothing: jumpers, dresses and skirts, T-shirts, etc. When each type of clothing has a home it is much easier to find and put away.

Everyone has things in their wardrobe that they no longer wear, but for various reasons, they cannot throw away. In this situation, you should ask yourself a few questions:

• Do I love the item?

• Is it sentimental?

• Is it the right size/fit?

• Was it worn in the last six months?

If you answered yes to half of the above questions, it’s worth keeping. If however you answer no to more than half, well, it’s time to say goodbye to it.

If you are planning on new wardrobe visit Komandor Wardrobes on the Sean Mulvoy Road, Galway, where the team will take all the above into consideration when designing, to create a space for your clothes which is organised, functional, and beautiful.
