If organizing your home is the long-term goal, then organizing your wardrobe is a good start. Here we take on specific challenges for three different users, but with solutions that everyone can learn from.

When your life revolves around couture, sooner or later your clothes risk drowning you. To avoid this, make it a habit to revalue your garments. Let the ones that you don’t actively enjoy make someone else happy.

They may not work for you anymore, but are way too precious to let go of. Then make an exhibition of your greatest hits.

Use hooks on the inside of the doors to get more looks into view. Hang garments side by side, mix, match and decide which ones are ready to hand over to the next owner.

There’s no need to do it often, but set a date in the calendar when you look through everything. Be tough, give away, and you will have wardrobe space again.

Creating harmony in your wardrobe comes down to recognizing what’s important to you. Both in deciding how to organize your wardrobe, and knowing when to let go of old clothes.

With every member in a family, there are new needs to be met. Key challenges are accessibility (for all heights), knowing what’s where, and using the wardrobe’s volume to the fullest.

Piling is out, filing is in. With garments stacked sideways, the individual pieces are both more visible and easier to get out.

Kids may develop bed-going routines that parents had better follow. Like craving the company of a soft toy or a favorite throw. Reserve a space just for them.

Some storage is more vital than others, e.g. knowing where to find a dummy at three in the morning. Have a nearby spot where you always return them.

When you’re into beautifully aged clothing, your wardrobe is useless if it can’t help you keep track of themes, years and colors. The name of the game is sorting. And proper lighting doesn’t hurt – to ensure your threads still have that special sparkle.

Begin with an overview. Arrange your wardrobe to see, and tell apart, what you have at a glance. Add an LED strip above, and your clothes will shine even brighter.

Putting your outfit under the spotlight is always a good idea. So is having proper lighting in the wardrobe itself. Battery-operated LED spots let you tailor it down to individual shelves.

Having sorted your clothes is one thing, storing them another. Complete your wardrobe with a way to keep its contents organized, apart and always within easy reach.

If you haven’t read my “Current IKEA PAX Wardrobe Walk-In Closet” blog post, I highly suggest reading that first. It goes into detail why I was looking to upgrade, what I was looking for in my new closet and just a general idea on what my closet wants, and needs are. I’ve had the Pax system for years and couldn’t be happier with it. I love that it gives me the freedom to design a system that suits my personal preference. You’re able to decide on the overall height, length, colour and even style. I found it to be the most affordable option, when it comes to custom closets, without sacrificing style, design or quality.

You, of course, can start with their pre-designed combinations, but you can also use their free PAX Wardrobe Planner to fully customize it and make it truly unique. You set your layout and then begin tailoring it to fit your space. Be sure to have your measurements ready, but besides that, everything else is done online with their planning tool. Have fun dragging and dropping what type of items you want in your closet all from the comfort of your own home. After you have your units and layout picked out, you can then have fun customizing it with added solutions for organizing. From shelves, shoe rails, pull-out functions, drawers and trays, the possibilities are endless.

My first tip, when looking to build your dream closet, is to utilize every inch. This doesn’t necessarily mean you have to invest in an entirely new system but taking advantage of every area of your closet is key. Pay attention to your ceiling height and don’t be afraid to make use out of every inch of it. Unlike my previous closet, where I only had the 201cm height system, this time around I went with the 236cm ones. This not only created the illusion of taller ceilings, but it allowed for more storage. In total I have 6 Pax 100x58x236, 1 Pax 50x58x236 and a Pax Corner Unit. Because I wanted my space to feel like a boutique, I decided to keep it open-concept. Of course, IKEA does offer matching doors if you wanted your space to be more private.

A lot of standard closets only offer one bar going across the length of the closet. The key to a well-functioning space is to have options. You can either add in additional bars, almost doubling your wardrobe, or you can add in drawers or shelves. Different clothing items need different ways to hang and store them. For my new closet, I went with both hanging rails, shelves, drawers, pull-out pant hangers and belt hangers. This allows me the freedom to change up what I want to have on display and what I want discreetly hidden.

I know this might be annoying, and seem wasteful, but invest in matching hangers. By simply having colour coordinated hangers, with matching hardware, you’ll create a more uniformed and streamlined effect. If the budget allows, try upgrading to velvet hangers. The non-slip material holds clothes in place without falling or sagging. The contoured shoulders help to keep your clothes shape and are usually higher quality than those inexpensive plastic ones. It helps to give that polished, boutique style and vibe.

Keeping with the clothing theme, you also want all your clothes hanging in the same direction. Chaos in your closet leaves you feeling frustrated and could be one of the reasons why you think you have nothing to wear. A general rule of thumb is if you’re righthanded, you want your hangers pointing towards the left (and vise versa). You may be asking yourself, is this important and does it really matter? The answer is, yes! When you’re standing in your closet, looking to pull something out, if you’re righthanded you want to pull out an article of clothing and have it facing you.

I know everyone talks about this, but so many people don’t keep it up, and that is organizing your closet by colour. Not only does it look aesthetically pleasing when you walk in, it makes getting ready in the morning a breeze. If you want to get even more fancy, organize everything by type. For example, with your shirts you may want to go sleeveless, t-shirt, blouses, sweaters and cardigans, all within the same colour family of course. For your bottoms, try displaying them by style, dressy, casual, denim, even workout pants. This makes it so much easier when you’re getting dressed. You’ll know where everything is, and it will save you time in the morning.

Genius Ikea Closet Hacks

You can never have enough drawers. From small personal items like undergarments, to delicate sweaters you don’t want hung, having enough drawer space is crucial when planning your closet. This was one thing that was lacking in my previous closet. IKEA KOMPLEMENT Drawers come in both a solid and glass front option. I had fun mixing and matching both. The glass design is perfect for items I want to have on display or items I want a quick view at, whereas the solid one is ideal for those special items you don’t want to showcase. I love the slow-closing design and how roomy they are.

If your closet has the space for it, jewelry organizers will be your new best friend. I think we all tend to hold onto pieces we know we’ll never wear again, because often we can’t see them. Necklaces get tangled up, earrings get lost, bracelets get broken, and this is all because we don’t have a designated area to keep our dainty accessories. The IKEA KOMPLEMENT Pull-out tray with inserts comes in an array of different sizes and each features several different compartments to hold all your treasures. Whether you’re looking to store your necklaces, sunglasses or even watches, these inserts will help you stay organized. Of course, you don’t have to purchase the pull-out trays, the inserts are sold on their own and fit into most drawers. The soft felt layer helps protect your delicate accessories, while keeping them safe and neatly placed.

Dividers are another sweet trick. From organizing sunglasses to scarves or even rolled belts, it will
