Closet Organizing in Vancouver by Olena, owner of Harmony Home Organizing

Working in various homes over the years, we have seen it all, from teeny-tiny to full dressing-room-style closets and poorly designed front hall closets to overflowing linen closets. All of these make closet organizing a challenge.

Through experience, we have learned how to maximize closet space and implement organizational solutions that meet our client’s needs. 

We’re ready to help you tackle your challenging closet space!

 

First Step of Closet Organizing: Declutter

The number one issue most people have when trying to organize their closets is simply the amount of stuff. Because it’s easy to shove things in a closet and it is out-of-sight, out-of-mind, closets are notorious for becoming dumping grounds. 

Clutter can easily accumulate for many reasons, including:

  • Emotional attachment to the item
  • Fear of Letting Go
  • Procrastination
  • Overconsumption
  • Lack of organizational systems

If your home is full of clutter, no matter the amount of storage area you may have, it will still feel overwhelming, and chaotic and will not be the calm sanctuary it should be. 

So, the first step to closet organizing is to declutter. But that’s often easier said than done. If you’ve never learned how to let go and declutter your space, it can be an immense task to complete on your own. Having the support of an experienced home organizer to guide and support you through the process will be fundamental to helping you get and stay organized.

 

Maximize your Closet Space

One of our client’s biggest concerns is the lack of useable storage space in their closets, which is often due to a poorly designed closet. Many apartments and homes have standard closets – only a hanging rod topped by a simple shelf – resulting in a lot of wasted space. 

A few simple modifications can change your standard closet into a storage multi-functional space:

  • Install a second hanging rod
  • Install extra shelving (or temporary shelving if you live in an apartment)
  • Use dividers or baskets on shelves
  • Place a small dresser inside the closet
  • Use drawer organizers inside your dresser to keep items like accessories, socks and underwear
    organized
  • Use a shoe-organizing rack
  • Add space-saving hangers like these or these

Seasonal Switch

Switching your clothes and shoes out seasonally helps open up closet and drawer space, and makes closet organizing much easier. Getting in this habit also helps you stay ahead of the clutter that can often accumulate. While switching out your clothes, declutter any pieces you didn’t wear over the past season and donate or consign them. 

Easily store your out-of-season clothes in under-bed storage containers or in vacuum storage bags, which will not only save you space but will also help protect your clothing.

It can be difficult to look at a closet and see the potential it holds. Especially if you have a small or awkwardly shaped space, it can be hard to envision what can be done. That’s where our years of experience working with all different sizes and shapes of closets and storage areas come in.
