Categorizing your closet is not a difficult task.  You must first begin by removing all the items.  Determine if you are going to categorize by color or items such as shirts, pants, skirts, etc.  You can also categorize further by hanging clothes and those that must be folded.  Once this is determined you can begin to group your items. You can utilize shelves to place the folded clothes and the use of baskets and drawers will help in organizing your closet as well.

Another great way to organize your closet and keep things together is by using hooks. Hooks work great for belts, ties, hats and purses.  If you are lucky enough to have a closet large enough you may decide to keep your jewelry in there as well.  Keeping everything in one place will make it easier to make your choices in the morning.  You may decide on a traditional jewelry box or use decorative boxes and hooks for smaller items. Perhaps a mannequin would work as well where you can display the outfit you will work the next morning.

Categorizing your closet will keep all your items in one place and easier to find. Once you have a system developed it will be easier to maintain and keep clean.  Think outside of the box for organizing.  Who says you have to use traditional organizing shelving units, consider using an antique dresser or baker’s rack in your closet.  You’d me amazed at the everyday items that can be used to help organize your space.  As long as you keep items categorized you will be less stressed because your closets will be a joy to approach. The possibilities are endless.
