Now that it’s a new year and the hectic holidays are behind us, it’s time to tackle that little corner or chair in your room where discarded clothing and objects tend to pile up. We all have those blind spots in our homes – you’re not alone! If you’re vowing to be more organized in mind, body, and soul, you can start by manifesting the “new you” through your wardrobe. As the ye old English proverb goes: an organized wardrobe is an organized you! Or at least they would have said that if they had these space-saving organization tips back in the day.

Get Over It

We can’t get enough of Indigo’s inhouse brand OUI. They’ve created functional items without sacrificing design. Case in point: this over the door organizer in an off-white canvas that does the trick to save you space and keep items organized. From shoes to scarves and belts, stow away your items while keeping them within reach for easy accessibility.

Belt It Out

Don’t lose your pants over too many belts and nowhere to store them! Amazon has got you covered, so keep your pants on and your belts sorted! This clever belt hanger will keep your belts tucked away and out of sight. Some people prefer to roll their belts up and place them in drawers. Don’t get us wrong, it’s a smart method but rolling can actually damage your belts. Hanging your belts in your wardrobe ensures they maintain their shape and are within reach as you get ready.

Living By the Seat of Your Pants

How do you fold your pants? Fold them in drawers or hang them in your closet? One of the most important aspects of wardrobe organization is ensuring you can see your clothing. It’s one thing to have things tucked away, but it’s another to have things organized and visible. Cue this Amazon.ca pant hanger that can be hung vertically or horizontally. Your pants will be easily stored while not taking up too much precious wardrobe real estate.

Bin There, Organized That

Bins have been having a moment lately so why shouldn’t your wardrobe bin-efit too? (Sorry, we couldn’t resist.) Bins now come in so many shapes, materials and colours, making them more aesthetically pleasing, meaning you might not want to keep them tucked away in your closest. They are particularly useful for accessories big and small. However, a very useful purpose that bins provide is safely storing sweaters and scarves that if left exposed could become a moth haven. Storing your precious cashmeres in sealed off bins can save you time and money. Another feature of using bins is that you can stack them in your wardrobe thereby maximizing space, like these bins found on Amazon.ca. Your wardrobe will thank us.
