How to organise your wardrobe 9 easy ways to curb the clutter and restore order
Written by Ideal Homes’ Content Editor Holly Walsh, How to organise your wardrobe - 9 easy ways to curb the clutter and restore order, features a series of expert advice on how to declutter and organise your wardrobe - creating harmony in your home.
Rachal Hutcheson, our National Retail Manager at Sharps highlights how many people have clothes they don’t use in their home taking up space.
More than 60% of UK households say they have unwanted clothes stored at home. Whether they’re damaged, out of fashion or simply don’t fit, unused items take up much-needed space.
The article features Sharps stunning Shaker in Midnight Blue with clever double hanging rails and long hanging rails as wardrobe interiors.
Cut Down on Clothes
Megan Watkins, Head Stylist at SilkFred advises how to cut down your wardrobe from clothes you no longer wear and how to make the most out of the clothes that you do.
"Being ruthless is the key to having a streamlined, decluttered wardrobe. If you haven’t worn a certain item for the past year, it’s quite likely you won’t be wearing it again."
Celebrity home organiser Lucy Mansey, known on instagram for helping her 20k followers declutter their home with her organising hacks, is also included in the article.
Sorting and clearing your wardrobe can be a daunting task, so my best advice is to tackle it bit by bit - slow and steady wins the race! Start by getting everything out, and creating 3 piles to keep, store or donate. Once this is done, assess your available space and decide what fits best where.
Start Small
Professional organiser Vicky Silverthorn at ‘ You Need Vicky’ is also included with a trick to avoid getting overwhelmed with the amount of clothes and items you need to organise. Vicky has over 10 years of industry experience.
Pulling everything out at once can be overwhelming, so start small and tackle a drawer or rail at a time.
Instagram's Queen of Clean, This Morning expert and bestselling author Lynsey Crombie of Queen of Clean recommends how to sort your clothes.
I always recommend sorting your clothes into items you can hang and which you can fold. For example, you should always fold your knitwear to avoid misshaping your garment and you should always hang linen to avoid creasing.
