TIPS FOR TACKLING THE TEENAGE CLOSET

 http-::fabulously40.com:blog:id:spring-cleaning-in-15-minutes-a-day-9594

A teenagers closet is different than your average closet. The size, style and type of clothes make designing and organizing their closet a bit unique.

These are a few things to remember when organizing a teenagers closet.
  • Make sure there is a place for everything or it will end up on the floor.
  • Count how many shoes they have so you have adequate storage space.
  • Their clothes are shorter on average especially their skirts and dresses. Utilize the space under the hanging clothes.
  • Add drawer space in the closet with my favorite item from the The Container Store.
  • Teens love a pop of color. Paint the inside of the closet wall or change the hangers to slimline hangers in a bright color.
  • Do not forget the the closet doors. Hang a full length mirror like this one from Pottery Barn Teen. It comes with hooks so you can hang jewelry or scarves.

If you want them to stay organized include them in the process. It’s their space, let them know their opinion matters.

HOTEL TOILETRY CLUTTER

IMG_0141IMG_0145Their small, cute, and they are free. I am talking about hotel minatures. Are you one of those people who has a secret stash of hotel toiletry bottles you have kept from your travels? Most people say they don’t have enough space when I am decluttering a bathroom but it is usually never about space it’s what is taking up the space.

My most recent client was using an entire drawer and utilizing space under the sink for hotel miniature bottles. When we corralled them all together we had a bag full to donate and gained a whole drawer.

If it’s a travel size brand that you regularly use keep them in a zip lock bag or a container as for the rest…

Replenish your toiletry bag for your next vacation.

Put a few in your guest bathroom for your guests to enjoy.

DONATE them to a homeless shelter. They will appreciate them.

To prevent future clutter in your bathroom use them when you travel but resist the urge to take them home.
