Here are five simple tips from the pros that every consumer can use:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>An Operating System Isn\u2019t Just for the Office<\/strong> \u2013 Organize your clothes by color or by casual to formal and then hang like-types of clothing together (i.e. shirts, pants, skirts, etc.).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make the Shoe Fit <\/strong>\u2013 Squeeze in more shoes per shelf by arranging pairs with one toe facing out, one toe facing in. If you like to keep your shoes in boxes, make sure you the label the original box or use clear storage containers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When Seasons Change, it\u2019s Time to Rearrange<\/strong> \u2013 Rotate your fall &amp; winter clothes with your spring &amp; summer clothes. Store the out-of-season clothes in covered clothing racks in the attic or basement or flat storage boxes under your bed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>If You Don\u2019t Use It, Lose It <\/strong>\u2013 If you\u2019re hanging onto that pair of jeans that will fit only if you lose 10 pounds, donate them. Once you shed the weight, you can buy a new, trendy pair. Get rid of stretched out bathing suits, worn out shoes, and that pair of pants you\u2019ve been planning to alter for months now. Cutting the clutter will automatically make you more organized and efficient.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It\u2019s Not Your Closet, It\u2019s You<\/strong> \u2013 Get into a routine of straightening up your closet the same time each day. Whether its before work, after work, or before you go to bed, don\u2019t wait to put your shoes away or hang your clothes until you can\u2019t see your closet (or bedroom) floor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>About Closets by Design<br \/>\n<\/strong>Since 1982, Closets by Design has built a reputation as the nation\u2019s leader in the closet organizing and storage remodeling industry.
