5 Tips to Organize Your Carillon Lakes Community Home Walk-In Closet
Do you ever find
yourself always running late in the morning because you can’t find any outfit
to wear for the day? If you find most of your clothes either strewn on the
floor and your shoes stored haphazardly under the shelves of the walk-in closet
of your Carillon
Lakes community home, it’s time to start
putting your closet on a diet.
Just like how most diets
start, one needs to plan out carefully on how to start purging your closet. Make an assessment about what items in your closet take
up the most space. Are you able to allot
time from your busy schedule to work on this closet cleaning project? Determine
these things first before you go on a clothes purge.
When the date and time
has come for your scheduled decluttering, make sure to focus on the task at
hand and tune everything out. Make sure you’ve already eaten something so you
won’t have to stop mid-task just to grab lunch at any nearby restaurant in Carillon Lakes community and then get completely tired to finish the task. Leave
your phone in the living room or your home office. Put up a “Do Not Disturb”
sign on the door. Whatever you need to do to focus, do it.
Now that you’re ready to
start, begin with taking everything out of your closet - the shoes, the
clothes, and all the accessories. Sort them into different piles: Keep,
Throw/Donate, Maybe. Items under “Keep” are those that you regularly use such
as your slacks, suits or work dresses, pajamas, casual shorts, a few shirts,
your go-to heels or brogues, and more. Items under “Throw/Donate” are those
that you haven’t used for the past 3 months because they either don’t fit
anymore or have a tear or stain. Make sure to repair any holes or tears if
you’ll be donating the clothes to a shelter. Items under “Maybe” are the ones
you have a hard time deciding on. Place the maybe items in a box and store them
for 3 months - if you still haven’t used any of these items by then, it’s time
for them to move into the Throw/Donate pile.
Once you have decided
which items will head back to the walk-in closet of your house in Carillon Lakes community,
it’s time to visualize how to organize the space. Search the web for closet
inspiration. Do you want to store items by color, by style, or by type? If
you’ve decided just how to organize the space and find out that you don’t have
enough to put all the “Keep” items back in, continue to sort the remaining
items. Don’t simply stuff them all in. If you can’t find space for the
remaining items then they might not really belong there anyway.
Keep all surfaces clean
and tidy. Don’t let surfaces such as tabletops or the floor or an empty chair
be a loading deck for any clothing item.
Resolve to stick by the
decluttering you’ve made in your walk-in closet and let go of the “out of
sight, out of mind” mindset. Always make sure to put things back the way they
were stored whenever you take something out. Doing this everyday ensures
that you have an organized walk-in closet that won’t keep you from getting to
work on time every morning.
