How to Organize Your Closet By Color
The best way to organize your closet by color is first to separate the types of clothes.
For example, pants, shirts, and skirts. You’ll also want to categorize them by season like spring/summer and fall/winter.
You’ll also want to separate items by shade. For example, lighter vs. darker colors, even within the same color. But, what to do with each color?
Black, White, Grey
The easiest way to separate plain colors like black, white, and grey is to alternate the colors.
For example, keep long sleeve black shirts with white and grey long sleeve shirts.
If you have several black tops, it can be difficult to find the one you’re looking for if they’re right next to each other, so alternating the plain colors can help you define where to look for your favorite items.
Brown
Browns should be kept together and sorted from darkest to lightest. You should put them together by garment as well.
For example, dark brown shirts and then dark brown pants and then light brown tops and light brown pants to follow.
Colors
Organizing your closet by color wouldn’t be the same without actually separating the real colors.
The easiest way to do this is by the type of garment and then by color. For example, long sleeve yellow and then short sleeve yellow.
Patterns and Stripes
Patterns and stripes get a little trickier because there are so many variations. The best-kept secret for coordinating your closet by color with patterns and stripes is to, again, alternate.
Place a stripe and then a pattern and then a stripe while also trying to keep it organized by color/shade.
What To Do With Extra Clothes
Closet organization can become overwhelming if you have too many clothes.
For example, if it’s summertime and you have a ton of winter clothes, your closet may be more difficult to navigate.
This is the perfect excuse to invest in a storage space for seasonal changes.
Securing your storage space isn’t too difficult. Just consider that you should only get a storage space large enough for the clothes you want to store and maybe a few household items, so you’re not paying for more than you need.
A Color Organized Closet Is Doable
Having a color organized closet is the easiest way to find your favorite garments on the fly.
This is totally doable, and it’s even easier to maintain because you’ll know exactly which spot holds each different piece of clothing.
