A blouse on the sofa here, a drawer with socks sticking out there… and the mess is already part of the decoration of the house! If you’re looking to leave this scenario of chaos behind, we have valuable tips on how to be more organized and the best: keep being!
Check out 10 tips for a closet and dressing table efficient to do today and keep forever.
Start your closet tidying up with small changes, such as:
1) Practice letting go
We know that it can be painful to let go of some pieces, but this is a fundamental process to be more organized. Getting rid of excess, clothes that no longer have anything to do with your style or that have gotten too big or too small is an efficient way to free up space in your closet.
2) Organize clothes by category
A quick and practical way to tidy up the closet is to separate clothes by category, that is, pants with pants, blouses with blouses. If the items of the same category are together, organization and maintenance is easier, since you won’t need to do endless searches (and messes) to find a piece.
3) Have a place for everything
It seems like a silly tip, but determining the space of each category will make all the difference in tidying up and prevent the mess from returning. For example, if you have a drawer for shirts, you’ll get this type of item there and keep the clean ones in the same place.
4) Standardize hangers
Don’t think that having the same hanger model inside your wardrobe is just a whim. Standardizing the hangers facilitates the visualization of the pieces and the fitting on the closet rod. But always pay attention to the volume of clothes, such as coats, which tend to be heavier.
5) Make organizers your allies
It’s impossible to talk about closet tidying without mentioning organizers. Boxes, baskets and beehives are great allies of the organization, contributing to tip 3 and optimizing the closet, in other words, you will notice that inside the organizers some items take up less space.
6) Keep order everyday
It’s no use doing a super tidying up and messing everything up the next day. A fundamental tip on how to be organized is to follow the guidelines daily, keeping everything in its place. Imagine that if every day you take 3 pieces out of the closet and put them anywhere, at the end of the week you will have 21 pieces lying around.
When setting up the dressing table:
7) Make a triage
More than organization, making possible screenings in makeup is a health issue. Rate each item and if any are out of date or look/texture different than when you bought them, throw them away. Disposal will prevent possible allergic reactions and make room for more efficient storage.
8) Put brushes inside pots
Plastic, glass, metal, recycled… it doesn’t matter! Putting makeup brushes in jars prevents them from getting thrown into drawers and on the vanity counter. Just remember to store them upright, with the bristles facing up – this way they don’t wrinkle or deform.
9) Show what you use on a daily basis
To keep your organization organized and make your day more practical, a tip is to keep only the products you use the most on the dressing table. This trick will prevent you from wasting time looking for them on a daily basis and ending up making a mess in times of greater haste.
10) Put some items in the drawers
The ideal for larger makeup or those you use less is that they are kept inside the drawers. This, in addition to making everything more organized, will also keep your products better. And if you want to optimize the space inside the drawer, apply tip 5 here too!
