We’re talking about – collecting, choosing, scraping and storing. The first rule of downsizing your closet is to get everything out and then collecting the items of one category at a time. Make separate piles for dresses, t-shirts, shirts, etc. Choose what goes and what stays by asking yourself if that piece of clothing brings you joy. If not, scrap it, but only after thanking it first. Store all the items that make you happy. Focus on what to keep rather than what to discard. This method will help you see that managing your closet space takes hardly any time.

Every item in your house should have a home, so make sure you dedicate a space for all the items in your closet too. The crucial aspect of organising is to return the item in its home when you’re done with its task for the day.

Square boxes work as a better option than round boxes as they save more space. Also, it’s best to store things vertically as everything becomes more accessible and visible that way. When you store things inside a drawer or basket, keep darker coloured items at the back and lighten ones in the front.
