Organizing a closet can be a frustrating thought, but, with a few tips it can be a time saver. The first and possibly best tip is to completely empty the closet. Take time to clean the closet and possibly repaint or patch holes. This will go a long way to making it look neat and tidy. Try to look objectively at your wardrobe and what you need versus what you wear. Less sometimes is more. Remember that if you donate clothing and other useful items to charities, you may be eligible for a tax deduction. Sort clothes into work, play, and dress clothing. Try to make a space for empty hangers, a basket works well. This is a time saver on wash day. For kids rooms, allow them to help. They know what they do and don't play with. Discard items that are broke or have missing pieces. Baskets, boxes, and clear totes work well for toy closets, and come in a variety of sizes. Keep toys and accessories together.

We are over run with barbie dolls, and barbie has everything you could imagine. We keep these in totes and in the same spot in the closet. Probably the most overlooked tip is to keep items that don't belong in the closet out of it. You wouldn't put your socks in the kitchen cupboards, would you? If in your budget, closet organizers are a great addition to your house. These can be as simple as wire or wood shelving to as complicated as units that have rods, shelves, drawers, shoe racks, and jewelry organizers or any combination of these.
