For example, it’s easier to see sweaters when they’re separated by shelf dividers, as opposed to stacked away in boxes. Keep things visible and accessible: Debbie Harwin told us she recommends choosing organizers that make it simple to see and access everything in your closet.Look for items like slim hangers and shelf dividers, rather than bulky wooden hangers or bins with drawers that take up more space.

Organizer Beth Penn told us that until you’ve taken inventory, you won’t know what kind of storage you’ll need, and you may end up buying bins and boxes that don’t actually work for you. Take stock before you buy: Once you’ve gotten rid of what you don’t want, take a hard look at what remains, and make a plan for the best way to store it. “Once you know the reason why you want to become organized, it's easier to find a method that will work best for your needs,” says Goldson.

Loop vacuum hoses over large heavy-duty hooks (like bike hooks) or on a hose holder on the wall.
