Spring cleaning tips to keep your closet tidy and organized

NEW YORK (WABC) -- You can't talk about spring without spring cleaning.

For many people, that task seems impossible.

So, Dani Beckstrom and Joelle Garguilo got some tips and help from the experts at Most Organized Space.

Looking to do this at home?

A simple, elevated approach to a calm, functional closet

1. Set the Intention

Before you begin, define how you want this space to feel and function.

Effortless mornings. Clear visibility. Only what you love and wear.

2. Edit with Clarity

Work in sections, not all at once.

Remove everything from one category at a time to avoid overwhelm.

3. Categorize Thoughtfully

Group like with like.

Tops, dresses, pants, outerwear.

This is where patterns and excess become obvious.

4. Refine with Purpose

Decide with intention.

Keep what fits, feels good, and supports your current life.

Release what no longer serves you, without guilt.

5. Rebuild by Category

Return items to the closet in clear, defined zones.

Every category should have a home.

6. Elevate the Details

Within each category, organize for ease and visual calm.

Example, tops: by sleeve length, then by color.

This creates flow and simplifies getting dressed.

7. Create Visual Consistency

Use uniform hangers for a clean, cohesive look.

Small details make the space feel finished and elevated.

8. Contain with Intention

Only after editing, measure and introduce bins or organizers.

Everything should fit your space, not the other way around.
