Having an organized closet is a crucial part of having an organized life. And while your closet might look aesthetic, that doesn’t mean it’s organized. You might recognize the obvious signs your closet needs to be reorganized, such as if your closet rod falls from the weight of your clothing or there are piles all over the floor. But there are also more subtle indications your closet needs a major tidying session. Here are six signs it’s time to reorganize your closet.
1. Your Daily Closet Interactions are Exhausting
Does sorting through your closet every day feel like an arm workout because everything is packed so tightly together? If you’re running out of space, it’s a clear sign you need to organize your closet. “Most of us have all the space we need but we are conditioned to think we need more, which is why we get storage units and put things in there that we need to go through. The more items we have, the harder it is to maintain our homes,” says Shantae Duckworth, professional organizer and founder of Shantaeize Your Space.She suggests going through items at least once a year to determine what you really need. Although, ideally, we should probably declutter at least once a season.
