The Importance of Being Organized: Closet Edition

Wow, ladies can I get an amen for this closet?! It’s actually the celebrity closet of Mariah Carey and all these shoes live here in her Manhattan Penthouse.  Shoes are an investment, and this is like a Fort Knox treasure trove, why not have these lovelies on such a elaborate and wonderful display?  Closet space is important, as well as how you use it! I believe we should all simplify, and I agree with throwing out or giving away items you do not use or wear in a year.  Once you have done that, create a magic little color-coordinated haven for them.  I really mean it- just think of how happy you will feel walking into a well lit, organized heaven of a closet in the morning!

Like this Young Hollywood closet, if you have an entire room (even if it is much smaller), you can have fun with the space by adding center islands for folding, storage, or display.  Display?- Oh yes, you can display your favorites just like they did at your favorite boutique where you paid so much for your wardrobe.  Think mannequin heads for hats, and Dress Forms.

If you don’t have a large space, you should at least design a wall to wall configuration that best fits your dresses, pants and shirts in a way that makes it easy to spot everything at once.

How adorable is this little girl’s closet?  Bins and small pull out shelves create a pretty arrangement for storing all those sweet cardigans and stripped leggings.
