17 closet organization hacks to start your spring cleaning early

The week between Christmas and New Years I was obsessed with organizing my house. I rarely have an entire week off of work, so I tried to make the most of it. During the week, I spent a lot of time decluttering. I also started searching for closet organization hacks to make my closets cleaner and my home more organized.

It feels so good to declutter, especially with the new year. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your closet, you should check out my closet cleaning tutorial. If you’re issue is more about a lack of storage space, here are 17 closet organization hacks that will help you get your closet in order.

17 Closet Organization Hacks

1. Buy a Utensil Holder to Organize Jewelry

The idea to use a utensil holder for jewelry is so smart. I saw this tip here, and I think it is a great way to keep your jewelry organized. I have a ton of necklaces, and I think using the little compartments where you’d normally put your forks and spoons makes so much sense. It would work really well for chunky necklaces that won’t get tangled or for bracelets.

2. Use Tension Rods to Create a Shoe Rack

I own way too many shoes and I don’t know what to do with them all. I love the idea of creating a simple shoe rack using tension rods. If you have a little nook or cranny in your home where you could easily add some storage, this is a great idea. You could also use the inside of your closet if you have some extra space on the sides to add these tension rod shoe racks.

3. Add Baskets to the Back of your Door

This idea is so cute because she picked up vintage baskets at a flea market and attached them to the back of her closet door for storing things that just don’t do well on a hanger.

4. Use Shower Curtain Rings as Scarf Holders

I never know where to put my scarves. Currently, they are in a little tote bag, all bunched up. When I saw this idea, I thought it was great and I only wish I had seen it sooner. Using shower curtain rings to hold scarves is so smart! It takes up way less space and also keeps the scarves from getting all wrinkled.

5. Stagger Your Clothing with S Hooks and Chain

If you have one of those closets with just one rod and then tons of extra space underneath, you should try this S Hook and Chain idea. It is such an easy and inexpensive solution to hang many more items. Just be careful that you don’t overload your closet rod too much. I’ve definitely snapped a closet rod by putting too much clothes on it before!

6. Use a Rain Gutter Earring Holder

If you have a lot of earrings or jewelry, I thought this rain gutter earring holder was a great idea to store a lot of things in a minimal amount of space. Plus, it is super inexpensive.

7. Use Picture Rail to Make a Shoe Rack

If you want to display your shoes like art, I love the idea of using picture rail to make a shoe rack. It looks so chic and is also fairly inexpensive. It is a bit permanent though, so if you aren’t in it for the long haul, maybe consider the other shoe options I’ve shared.

8. Add Hanging Tags to Simplify Your Weekday Wardrobe

Make morning routines easier by organizing a week’s worth of outfits by placing hanging tags on your closet bar. Each tag says the name of the week so you would just place your planned outfits assigned to each day of the week. It would make getting ready for work a breeze.

9. Display Jewelry with a Paper Towel Holder

If you’re looking for a way to display your jewelry, you should check out this idea for using paper towel holders. It doubles as artwork.

10. Organize your T-Shirts to Save Space

I have way too many t-shirts and my drawers are overflowing. This idea for organizing t-shirts to save space is genius! When I saw this idea, I realized I’ve been storing my t-shirts all wrong. I’m going to have to try out this space saving idea asap!

11. Build a Modern Pipe Clothing Rack

If you don’t have room to change your closet but do have space to store a hanging rack, you could build a DIY pipe clothing rack. I love this rack because it is modern and chic. I wouldn’t mind hanging some of my clothes in my house if it was hung on such a cool looking rack. Plus, you could just display your favorite pieces or even just a specific color palette to keep it clean-looking.

12. Organize your Tight and Legging with this simple DIY

Just like my scarves, my tights and leggings are stuffed in my lingerie drawer. They are all wrinkled and in a giant lump. I love this idea for a simple DIY to organize tights and leggings. It is simple and effective.

13. Build a Ladder Clothing Rack

I saw this DIY ladder clothing rack and thought it seemed like a great space-creator while also serving as a vocal point for your home. It is so neat when you can create something functional that also looks interesting in your home.

14. Make Your Own Accessory Hanger

This might be the coolest looking hanger I’ve ever seen. I’m tempted to make one because this hanger seems like a great multi-functional tool to keep all of your accessories organized.

15. Use Peg Board to Organize Jewelry

Just like the ladder, I love the idea of creating a peg board for my jewelry so that my jewelry is displayed like art. It also seems very simple to create on your own.

16. Make a Sliding Pants Rack

Where do you store your pants? Mine are all stacked up in my closet, which is a total space-waster. I love the idea of this sliding pants rack. It would take up way less space and keep my pants from getting all wrinkled.

17. Create Double Hangers with Can Tabs

You can use a soda can tab to create double hangers for additional storage. This is such a simple and inexpensive hack, but seems like a great way to make the most of your closet storage.

MLK weekend vibes💙. It has been so warm in LA w MLK weekend vibes💙. It has been so warm in LA we spent all day at the beach yesterday. Today, we are taking in local parks and another gorgeous day. But, my heart is heavy with the state of our world. 
.
Today, as we celebrate an important figure in the fight for Black equality, I’m choosing not to share one of his famous quotes because that’s too easy. Simply sharing his words without considering or sharing my perspective about the current state of our country feels disingenuous at best.
.
I’ve struggled with how to talk about the insurrection because I still find it all so shocking. And the fact that I am shocked is a problem. That our country can be so divided that it’s difficult for me to even fathom how people could participate in this divisiveness.
.
The insurrection happened on my birthday, as I flew to Puerto Vallarta. Landing in Mexico and learning about what was happening felt surreal. I still can’t wrap my head around it, honestly.  What scares me the most is the hate. The idolizing of a white supremacist ideology is terrifying. It terrifies me for my children. For their safety. For their lives.
.
I understand that a lot of hate is spurred by fear, lack of understanding and discomfort. Today, I hope we can all think about how to be more open to thoughts and perspectives that our different than our own. Be more accepting of people who look different, who have different cultures and life experiences. Today, I hope we can all collectively try to confront every human interaction from a place of love and kindness. If we all spent a little more time considering the other person’s life or story, I think we’d have a lot more peace and happiness. #mlk #mlkday #mlkweekend

That's why I love having @Progresso Toppers soups on hand because they make quick and  tasty lunch options when I'm super busy. They are so convenient - and the soup also comes with a topper for the perfect crunch. They come in five different flavors and are ready in minutes. All five flavors of the Progresso Toppers are made with quality ingredients and no added sugar, or artificial flavors, or colors. If you're looking for a quick, convenient and delicious lunch option, definitely check out Progresso Toppers! #progresso #progressotoppers #takeacrunchbreak

I’ve received a lot of DMs about traveling to Puerto Vallarta. New on poshinprogress.com, I’m sharing a full blog recap, including my thoughts on traveling during the pandemic and the experience we had.

Here’s a bit about where we stayed —  @villapremiere — is doing a fantastic job at keeping their employees and guests safe. Everyone is required to wear a mask; social distancing is maintained at all restaurants and public spaces; staff do not enter rooms except for room cleaning when the room is empty; hand sanitizing stations are present throughout the resort; hotel capacity is capped to ensure proper social distancing. I honestly felt very safe. If you have any other questions, please dm me or leave your questions below.
