If your closet looks like a pig sty do not panic and get ready to learn some organizational tips to help you. Closet organization might seem like it is difficult, but once you get started, you will become hooked and your closet will look amazing. Below, you will find some tips to help you start organizing your closet.

1. Empty the Closet

This may sound like it is counterintuitive, but it needs to be done. Head into your closet and take out every item that is held within it. You may even find a hidden gem or two while you are emptying it out.

Place all of the items that you removed from your closet in a designated place within your home and then go through the items and place all keep items in a single pile. As you go through the items, toss out anything you have not worn this year and any items that appear to be worn down.

If you have a ton of jewelry in your jewelry box or on your dresser, you will need to do something with it when you move. It is not ideal to throw it into a box because the gold will scratch and you will find that your necklaces and bracelets become tangled and knotted.

If you are planning on packing up and storing your fine jewelry, follow the tips below to help keep it in the best condition.

1. Zip-Lock Bags

If you plan on doing some traveling, you can place your jewelry in Zip-Lock bags temporarily. This storage method is preferred during travel, especially since your bag may be tossed around quite a bit.

You should only place one necklace and one bracelet into each bag so they do not become entangled with each other.

As the holidays quickly approach, you are probably ready to pull out all of the decorations and start placing them in your home. But, what happens when the holidays leave? You will have a bunch of items that you need to put somewhere. The following tips will help you store all of your holiday belongings safely and efficiently.

1. Christmas Light Storage

You should always store your Christmas lights wrapped up neatly. If you have ever thrown them in a box, you know how frustrating it can be the next year when you need to untangle them.

Grab yourself a large spool and wrap up the Christmas lights in a neat fashion. You will find you can unravel the spool easily to hang your lights next year.
