I recently invested in a custom closet in my home office. I am all about learning through experience, and I LOVE sharing that with you, friend! ⬇️
If I did this process all over again, here are my Top 6 Takeaways to consider:
Have the closet professionally installed. For me, this was a no brainer and worth the investment. I knew it would be done correctly, efficiently, and on time. 100% recommend.
Prepare the space. With shelves removed, holes patched, and the closet painted, the install process was simplified. And I’m looking at a beautiful closet before I even put anything in it. You are already investing in the closet, why not go all out and give the whole space a fresh start!
The editing process is crucial. I say this all the time—the MOST important part of any organizing project is the decluttering or editing phase. It frees you from unnecessary clutter and brings intentionally used items to the forefront.
Store frequently used/needed items in easy to reach places. The goal here is efficiency. Taller bins or containers are great for this! Storing items vertically minimizes the rummaging and allows you see everything at one glance.
When it comes to the arrangement and presentation of items, consider clean lines and symmetry. Keep the same type of containers together. Avoid having items hang over the shelf. Allow a little “breathing room” in between bins to give some visual space.
Label…everything. I will always be an advocate for this. Whether you’re the fancy type with a label maker or you like keeping things simple with a roll of masking tape and a permanent marker—the end goal is the same. When you label your items, you are more likely to return them to their assigned spot. And..maybe even more important: your family members, employees, or anyone else who shares that space can also return items to their assigned spot without having to ask you. ✔️ #goals
