Purging and organizing can be done on your own with the steps Varga has offered here. Stores change out where merchandise is hanging on a regular basis, and when you do that with your own wardrobe, you will start to see new things. The concept of making over your closet so it looks good should feel empowering. "I had one client who didn't have enough room in her closet for all her shoes but did have a small seldom used linen closet," Varga said. "We turned that into a shoe closet." Runners often keep their shoes near the door so they can be accessed easily before and after exercise. If you have lots of running shoes or flip flops but not a lot of space in your closet, toss them in a cloth bin that you can keep in another area of your bedroom or in a separate room in your home. ►READ MORE: Renovated home a 'labor of love' for couple​ ►READ MORE: Organize your essentials with CJ Life Hacks To keep boots standing upright, roll up newspaper or cut Styrofoam pool noodles to place inside. "Too many clothes are forgotten about because you can't see what you have," Varga said. "Clearing the space and bringing the clothes you love from the back of the closet to the front is key." Varga figures about 80 percent of what we own we don't use enough to justify the real estate it takes up in the closet. Once you've gone through each item in your closet, you should see a significant change. Think of the items on the rack as a "trial separation." You can always go back and retrieve an item from the rolling rack, but during your initial purge, you'll want to weed out as much as possible, leaving only the items you are crazy about. Varga suggests you keep items you are unsure about on their original hangers and place them on the rolling rack. But you spent a week's paycheck on the dress, so you are not convinced you want to get rid of it. Maybe it's tight in the wrong places and the last time you wore it, you spent all night readjusting the dress. If the next item you pull from your closet is a black dress you haven't worn for three years, ask yourself why. ►READ MORE: ​ Stay ahead of food trends with 2017 menu ►READ MORE: New year, new you?

(If you are tight on space, the fabric covered slimline hanger takes up less space, move more easily across closet rods and are kinder to your clothing than wire.) Matching hangers aren't absolutely necessary but aesthetically they will make your closet look fresh and feel new and organized. Questions like these will help you whittle away the excess and reveal the pieces you love, Varga said.Īfter you decide the item is a "keeper," hang it on one of your new matching hangers.
