Hey there, friends! I recently had the pleasure of working with Jen and Sarah from to organize my primary closet, and let me tell you, it was a game-changer. These ladies are absolute wizards when it comes to turning chaos into a serene, orderly haven. If your closet is feeling a bit cramped, stick around because I’m about to share some of their top strategies for maximizing closet space, especially in smaller rooms.

Clothes Fitting Properly

Problem: How do you suggest arranging clothes to ensure everything fits properly and is easily accessible?

Solution: One of the first things Jen and Sarah recommended was using slim hangers with some grip, like the NEAT Method Everyday Hangers. These hangers are fantastic because they maximize space and prevent garments from slipping off. They also suggested file folding my clothes—a method that lets you see everything at a glance. This was a game-changer for my drawers!

Clutter Control

Problem: What’s the best way to prevent the quick accumulation of clutter in a closet?

Solution: Clutter can creep up on you quickly, but with a well-thought-out plan, it’s manageable. Jen and Sarah emphasized the importance of giving everything a dedicated spot. They advised me to allocate the easiest-to-reach spaces for the clothes and accessories I use most frequently. Regular editing is also crucial—whether it’s seasonal or bi-annual, it helps keep things fresh. And don’t forget the “one in, one out” rule: bring in a new item, say goodbye to an old one.

Storage Solutions

Problem: Can you recommend any effective storage solutions for small items like accessories and shoes?

Solution: We all have those little items that seem to get lost in the shuffle. For accessories, Jen and Sarah love stackable divided trays. They used these in my closet to keep my jewelry neatly displayed on a shelf. As for shoes, they suggested clear, stackable shoe boxes for easy visibility and access. Depending on your space, bins and baskets might work better for you—or even a combination of both!

Dealing with Overpacked Drawers and Dresser

Problem: How can I better utilize my dresser and drawer space to avoid overpacking?

Solution: First off, editing is key. Take everything out and decide what you truly love and use. File folding is another excellent tip—it saves space and makes it easy to see everything at a glance. Don’t forget to apply the “one in, one out” rule here as well.

Maintaining Organization

Problem: Do you have any daily or weekly habits that can help keep the closet organized?

Solution: Jen and Sarah suggested setting up systems that fit your lifestyle, making it easy to reset your space regularly. Whether it’s a daily, weekly, or even monthly routine, the key is consistency. If your current system isn’t working, it might be time to rethink it with fresh eyes or even get some professional help.

Functionality and Cohesiveness

Problem: How do you approach creating a cohesive look and feel for closet storage?

Solution: A cohesive look can make a world of difference. Jen and Sarah recommend using neutral, pattern-free products to avoid visual clutter. Their NEAT Method collection, launched in 2020, is specifically designed to balance function and aesthetics, making it a fantastic choice.

Seasonal and Color-Coded Organization

Problem: Can you share any tips for rotating seasonal items efficiently?

Solution: Seasonal rotation is a great time to edit your wardrobe. Remove items you didn’t wear last season and prioritize the current season’s must-haves. Store off-season clothes in lidded bins if space is tight, or move them to less accessible areas of your closet.

Working with NEAT Method has truly transformed how I view and use my closet space. Jen and Sarah’s practical tips and personalized solutions made all the difference. Now, my closet is not only organized but also a joy to use. What’s your biggest challenge when it comes to closet organization? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
