Do You Need A Professional Closet Organizer?

admin — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 03:45:02 +0000

Closet organizing is one dreaded task for many people young and old alike. Not that it is a task that is impossible to do but there are just many reasons for not being able to do it. For some people, it is a sizable chore to start with. There are also some who just would not want to stress themselves out when it comes to organizing their things in the closet. However though, with the busy life at work and the hectic demands that office work would bring day in and day out, some people just could not find the time nor energy to even get started with closet organization. But whatever the reasons, there are people who are willing to do it for you – for a fee, of course. This is where the professional closet organizers come in. They fill in the void created by those who do not want to do it themselves and by those who simply do not have enough time to do some organizing tasks for their closet.

Engaging the services of a professional closet organizer is akin to just outsourcing the job. Think of it like hiring a wedding planner or organizer wherein you just get to pay the bills and make the most important decisions with regards to the job and tasks to be accomplished. These professionals are highly skilled and can usually fathom what you want to be done and how you want it to be done. Hiring their services is one good way to evade the hassles of getting things organized. However though, one should be prepared to pay the cost of their services. They do not come cheap but the rewards could be exceptional and worth the cost.

Looking for a competent and reliable professional closet organizer is not a daunting task. With the advent of the internet, one could easily browse the web and search for the most promising ones. One good place to look for them is the website of the National Association Of Professional Organizers or NAPO. Sifting through the pages of the website can lead you to a good bunch of professionals and it would then be up to you whom you would want to get in contact with and then make your choices. Another good place to look for is the plain old local yellow pages. Keep in mind that many of these pros would charge by the hour. It may range from $60 per hour for up to a whooping $200 per hour. However, there are also some who may charge for the whole service package and it would just be up to you to decide and negotiate which way to go. Keep in mind that an expensive professional closet organizer does not necessarily mean quality.

Closet Organization Ideas For Winter And Summer Seasons

Closet organization is a chore which tends to adapt with the changes of the seasons. Unless you have got a very sizable closet that could fit all of your clothing and gears for every season, then you might not have a problem with your closet space. However, not everyone has this luxury of a closet. There are many household closets which are just average in size and could hold no more than a single season’s clothing and accessories especially with winter garments which tend to be very bulky.

Hence, here are some few closet organization ideas and tips which might do the job in an easy manner:

1) Prepare rigid boxes. In most cases, at least 3 average size boxes would suffice. These boxes will be used to put your out of season clothes into. Cardboard boxes will do fine only that they have to be placed on a dry place and away from moisture. These boxes can easily be purchased at any local hardware or even at department stores. To make things a bit easier, keep a marking pen handy for labeling the boxes.

2) Sift through your clothes and gears inside the closet and choose which one you will use for the entire season. Do not be tempted to keep most of your favorite clothing only to realize at the end of the season that you have not worn them at all. Or you may find that you have wasted so much space on your closet organizer. Think of it just like going on a trip where you only take the clothes and gear you will need for the entire duration of your trip.

3) Group the clothing you have chosen for the season. Group together those garments that need to be hanged and those that need to be put inside the closet drawers. One notable advantage of this is that it would be much easier to look for things when you need them.

4) Group the out of season garments and clothing and nicely tuck them inside the boxes you have provided. Light clothing should be grouped together while heavy clothing such as fluffy winter jackets or coats should also be stashed together in the same box. Shoes can also be grouped together in a single box but it would be best to clean them first before putting them inside the boxes.

5) It would be best to wrap the boxes with clear plastic in order to prevent bugs and insects from going inside the box as well as prevent moisture from getting into the box.

These closet organization ideas and tips may look too cumbersome for some people to execute. However, they might just be the tips that might matter when it comes to making your closet look very organized and uncluttered for every season of the year.

How To Organize A Closet – Two Simple But Helpful Tips

How to organize a closet is one of those little things at home that does not get much attention. Yes, that is a fact. The main reason, perhaps, is that closet organization is one chore that is so unappealing to many household owners. Call it human nature or what, but staying organized can just be too tiresome for a normal mindset to adjust or get used to. But really, this is one chore which could save some hassles at home thereby making life at home a bit easier. With this, let me share two (2) tips which I have used and shared to my friends and relatives. Believe me, these tips, even though they are so simple as compared to other closet organization ideas, really helps. Taking the time to heed the tips below may just make that dreaded effort to have the closet organized be simple, quick and with satisfying results.

1. Start From Scratch.

In quite a few occasions, haven’t you noticed that in order for you to make something done right, it would be much easier for you if you start over again? That can be true in many cases. It would be much easier to start from scratch rather than try to do the corrections from within the something that needs to be corrected in several places.

This also holds true when it comes to closet organizing. It would be a great help if you are going to start dealing with a bare closet. Starting with a bare closet can be much easier to work with as opposed to trying to tidy things up in there with all those stuffs already inside. Not only that, by not starting from a bare closet, there is good chance that many things inside the closet may end up being tossed here and there. Even with the use of your favorite closet organizers, not starting from scratch might make the whole process be messy, tiresome and even frustrating.

Hence, the first step you should do is simply to empty your closet until it is bare even if it is only a portable wardrobe. This way, one can have thorough visual perception on what you would do with the bare spaces in front of you not to mention that you will have a good place to start with.

2. Don’t Forget The List.

A list of something to do can be one very useful guide. Making a list keeps everything in mind get recorded which makes most details accounted for. Relying on one’s memory won’t help much as it would be so easy to get distracted. This, in turn, will make one forget the things which had been in mind before. Take the scenario wherein one is packing his or her things for a trip. By not preparing a list on what to bring along, there will be a fair chance that something will be forgotten or fail to make it to the luggage….which you swore you had it in your mind. That’s normal, no human memory is perfect. Hence, a list can balance out that imperfection.

With this, try to make a list of the things you would want to place inside the closet. From there, you could then associate those things with their proper place. By starting with a list, you could then gauge if all those things you have listed would all fit inside the closet. Think of it as stuffing your closet in a virtual manner and in accordance to your custom closet organization style. Sounds easier than trying to put all those things inside and then find out that all the things you had in mind will not fit. I don’t know about you, but in my case, I think I’d blow my nerves.

There you go. The above-mentioned rather simple tips on how to organize a closet may sound and look trivial. But if one would just take a little effort in following them, they might just be the tips you will ever need to organize your closet after all.
