It’s that time of the year again – National Clean Your Closet Week! This second week of March, we’re not just talking about sprucing up your closet space; we’re challenging you to a complete closet transformation. Ready to take on a fun, rewarding challenge that will leave your closet (and you) feeling refreshed and revitalized? Let’s jump into your 7-day closet makeover journey!
Day 1: Set Your Vision
Before we start, take a moment to picture your ideal closet. What does it look like? How is everything organized? Setting your goal at the beginning will guide your decluttering decisions and keep you motivated. And to up the stakes, snap a ‘before’ photo – you’ll love comparing it at the end of the week.
Day 2: The Great Declutter
Pull everything out of your closet. Yes, every single item. Be ruthless! It may look like a chaotic mess at first but you’ll thank us later. Once everything is out, put on your sorting hat. Yes, channel your inner Harry Potter! Just like in the books, you’re going to be sorting your items into four houses (piles) – ‘keep,’ ‘donate,’ ‘sell,’ and ‘recycle.’ Dig deep and be honest with yourself about what you really wear and need. This step is super important for making your closet a curated collection of items that bring you joy and confidence.
Day 3: Deep Clean Your Space
While your closet is empty, it’s the perfect time to give it a deep clean. Dust the shelves, vacuum the floor, and wipe down all surfaces. A clean space sets the stage for a beautifully organized closet.
Day 4: Smart Organizing Solutions
Now for the fun part – organizing what you’ve decided to keep. This is where you begin to bring that vision you curated on Day 1 to life. Get creative with this. You can for example, choose to arrange by color, season, or type. Whatever you decide, make sure it’s a system that works for you. Invest in uniform hangers for a themed look and use storage solutions like boxes or shelf dividers for smaller items.
Day 5: Style & Personalize
Now that your closet is clean and your room no longer looks like the clearance section of a clothing store on Black Friday, it’s time to add a personal touch to your closet. Maybe it’s colorful wallpaper at the back of your closet, new lighting, or a stylish rug. Make this space uniquely yours. The more you create a closet you love, the better chance you will have at maintaining it. Which brings us to the next day of the challenge.
Day 6: Maintenance Plan
Come up with a simple but effective plan to keep your closet organized. This could be a weekly tidy-up, a monthly review of items, or the one-in-one-out rule. Consistency is key to maintaining your newly organized paradise.
Day 7: The Big Reveal
Time to celebrate your hard work! Take an ‘after’ photo and take pride in the transformation. Share your success with friends, family, or on social media. Inspire others with your achievement!
