A week or so ago we ran a post about getting organized – family photographs. Today we are going to talk about getting organized – the hall closet.
According to uber closet organizer Alison Lukes Teer, the hall closet is “the junk drawer of closets. Because your hall closet is used every day. . . it tends to gather a lot of random junk.” Teer goes on to say that a hall closet is valuable real estate and should contain only things you are using right now.
- Use products to increase storage. Hanging pocket organizers, hooks, clear plastic boxes, etc.
- Use matching wooden hangers for everything and keep several empty ones available for visitors.
- Mark your calendar to empty and sort twice a year. Clear out the winter accessories in late spring and then pack up summer about mid September.
Our hall closet doesn’t get much use in the summer but the winter is another story. So maybe if I get started now . . .
Don’t have a hall closet? Call me at 703.927.4554 and let’s go find one for you.
