Get Rid of Stuff!: Getting rid of clothing that just take up space in your closet can make you feel better and can even earn a little money. Start two piles: a sell/donate pile for items that are in good shape and a trash pile for items that are in poor condition. Don’t be afraid to get rid of stuff! Chances are that if you have not wore it in the past year, you will not miss it when it is gone. This is especially true for clothing and kids toys. You will be amazed at the new space that you will have once you get rid of the old and unused.
Step 1: You need to get a garbage bag or box to get rid of all items that you won’t need (if good, donate, if bad, discard)
Step 2: You need find a way store the items that are left back in a way that you can easily find things, so you don’t have to do a lot of routing to find them. Labels will be nice, with plastic or box containers or special bags.
Step 3: Ensure the closet is clean before you start putting back the items Do any repairs if necessary.
Step 4: You now need to write down some tips and rules as to how to maintain a organized closet. Paste it on the door. You can use post it notes.
Step 5: You need to be discipline and change behaviour, because only you can make it happen. Ensure that others who use the closet are aware of your new roles.
Have fun! I’m a consultant for this professionally so I hope it helped.
Another genius. Install a small paid turnstyle in the wardrobe thus differentiating between his and hers, alternatively put up two LED screen clearly labelling where things should go by way of an illuminated key, much like they do in shopping malls. either that or put up some shelves and sling out what you don’t want.
you could get a separater , a peice of wood or something
you both get one half which is fair

maybe install some shelves…ummm, totes….if you’re like my friend and have a TON of shoes, a shoe rack helps make some space…
hope this gives you some ideas!!
well at target or walmart they have clothes organizer its Pretty cool, i was going to buy one but i don’t really have a messy closet, its pretty cool though, ask the employees
Start by getting rid of things that you never wear again. It’s the most important thing and you should probably do it every other season to keep it fresh. (It also leaves room for more clothes!)
I organize my closet by style and color. This makes sure that you always know where something is when you have an outfit in mind. It also turns your closet into more of a boutique which is awesome when you’re getting ready in the morning. It makes you feel kind of like a celebrity. ;]
Hope that I could help!
If you don’t have shelves you can put though in. And Simoneimes you can order ththighsags that like keep it packed down so it don’t take up much room.
sometimes if you keep short sleeves with short sleeves and tank tops with tank tops (etc.) it’ll look more organized. But maybe if you keep colors together that will look organized because it will look like there are sections. And for shoes, get a shoe rack for you and hang it on the door and one for him on the floor or visa versa
Have one side for his cloths one side for yours. Organize it by type of clothing. If you haven’t already, get rid of winter cloths. Store them. Just try to keep it picked up!
