I always laugh when I see closet pictures like this because really? I mean if you only have 20 pieces of clothing you don't need to worry about organization!
Anyway, this week I had a job to organize a small, not walk-in closet that was overflowing with clothes and purses and we really needed to save some space! Here are some of the ideas we used and some I came across in my research.
Collapsible Pants Hangers: these are so cool! They can be horizontal in order to add and take off the pants, but then you hang them down vertically to save space. There's so many to choose from, but here's the link to the one pictured.
They make these for shirts as well, and here's a cool option to use with hangers you already have and they're very affordable: https://a.co/d/coP9h11
Tank Top Hanger! I never knew this existed, but it's really useful and good for sports bras too: https://a.co/d/243ZLaM

I love being organized and think it's very important to have a place for everything and everything in it's place...but I am not overly OCD about it. I don't label things or have to have everything perfect or all of the same bins, etc. I do this for my customers who want it of course, but I'm pretty practical about it.
However, one thing that can drive me crazy is a bunch of different clothes hangers! It's impossible to make your closet look neat with hangers of all sizes, shapes and colors. Right now I have two different types for my shirts, some plastic for most of my things and then some of the velvet ones for anything that would fall off. And then I have separate clip top ones for my pants and jeans. But I just came across these awesome ones that I am going to start switching to, that can hold any type of clothes! And they are thin which saves space. I love the color ones, but the pack of all gray are cheaper. These have great reviews and once I try them I will update this post and let y'all know what I think!

Okay so I got a pack of the colorful hangers above and I love them! I organize my closet by color because I love color and that just works for me and because I have shirts, pants, sweaters, tanks, etc. all hanging together, it is hard to make it look neat, but these hangers make it possible! I only got one pack which is 25 so I reorganized part of my closet using these hangers to show you how neat it can look. Keep in mind the pants are hanging by beltloops, so for skirts or pants without beltloops, you can still use these, but they would have to be folded over the bottom bar.
