I’m a self-proclaimed slob. And no matter what my parents (and probably my roommates) think: no, I can’t help it. No matter how hard I work and how often I clean my room, all it takes is getting ready at night and the search for a perfect outfit to make it look like a tornado hit.

However, despite my general messy tendencies, the one thing that I CAN keep organized is my closet. I love my clothing more than anything else in my room, and therefore, I treat it well. My closet is always neat and organized, even when the rest of my room is a wreck.

That’s why I’m here to help you get your closet in shape for spring! With my tips below, you’ll learn how to clean out your closet, get it organized, and KEEP it organized for life. Interested? Read on to learn how.

Huggable Hangers – Target

If you’re going to buy one single thing to help organize your closet, invest in these hangers. They will literally give you double the hanging space since they’re super thin, plus, the velvety material keeps your garments from slipping off and ending up on the closet floor. Even better, these hangers come in a million colors to fit your personal style. They’re a worthwhile investment that you’ll have for years.

Adhesive Hooks

Command Hooks – Amazon

These hooks are also a great thing to have for your dorm room in general, but they work amazingly well in closets. You can hang necklaces, bags, towels, and robes on these hooks, and they tend to stay up for a while unless you hang something that’s way too heavy. You can put them anywhere, and don’t worry about getting them off at the end of the year–they are easy to remove and won’t leave a trace.

Hanging Shoe Organizer

Shoe Organizer – Casa.com

This shoe organizer is perfect for a cramped closet. It fits right at the end or the beginning of your closet rod, and takes up minimal vertical space. It’s also perfect for a closet with a high rod, since it hangs pretty low. It keeps shoes off the floor, paired together, and visible, all in one spot.
