It’s no secret that the most beautiful dressing rooms start with great closet design. I think my mom proved this theory a few years ago, when she decided to convert an entire master bedroom in our old house into a dressing room (hey mom!). This ended up working in her favor because when she sold the house, the new buyers said they fell in love with it because of the dressing room. Cha-ching.
I wish I could do the same in my current rental – but then I’d end up sleeping in the living room or the kitchen. Not the best solution. So until I have a place to call my own to invest in a real dream closet (à la Nate Berkus above), I’m tackling closet organizers as part of my Spring cleaning this month, to make my current situation more liveable. Call me a clothes hoarder, but after only a year of moving into my apartment I now have all four of my closets bursting at the seams and no space for my shoes. Something needs to be done.

Natural Sleigh Woven Tray | 8. Petite Gallery Silver Tray | 9. Juice Mercado Baskets | 10. Graphic Printed Baskets | 11. Lilly Pulitzer Rousseau Ottoman
Here are a few of my favorite closet organizing tips. What brilliant storage solutions do you have to share?
- Use thin velvet hangers that will free up space while making sure that your clothes stay in place.
- Dedicate a closet in your home for off-season clothing and switch your closets twice a year.
- Boxes and bins can store things like scarves, belts, flats and other miscellaneous items.
- Organize smaller items in small containers, trays and cups to minimize chaos.
- Above all, edit edit edit. If you have barely worn designer clothes, consider selling them at consignment stores or online and as for the rest, donating to charity is always a good idea.
