All right, ladies, let's hear it — what are your best closet organization hacks? What do you struggle with, and what solutions have you found for organizing your closet(s)?

I really like those super thin velvet hangers. Took awhile but finally replaced all hangers in my 2BR apt with them. Everything fits much better together and looks cleaner than having a bunch of different types of hangers. Also got Martha Stewart “fabric drawers” – collapsible fabric boxes to organize items that need folding. I can’t wait to have a bigger closet to better store my bags though…
Idle question
If you’re wearing a long sleeve shirt that covers or reaches your wrist, do you wear your watch underneath or on top the shirt?

Underneath. I don’t like the look of the watch on top of the sleeve.

Oh man, I can’t stand having my watch over my sleeves. It’s way too bunchy for me and I think it looks weird.

I tried a hanging jewelry organizer for statement necklaces and it did not work for me. I recently mounted a necklace hanger to my closet door and now wear my necklaces much more frequently.

I don’t have a ton of necklaces, so I put several of those small, clear Command hooks 0n some “dead” wall space between my clothes and the closet door. By staggering the hooks, I was able to get plenty of room.

I love the velvet hangars – that is all I use now. And I use metal shower hooks on the closet rod for hanging my bags – it keeps them up and out of the way, and I can see everything I have.

I adopted the recommendation of people here and now store my necklaces hanging on push pins on a cork board. It is perfect because I can see all my options and customize it so it works for both my statement necklaces and the dainty ones.

I used to be overwhelmed by finding tissue paper which is “archival quality” to put in/out of my handbags. And no way I could quickly grab and switch out a bag. I found these silver quilted inserts. They are the bomb.

This is amazing. Exactly what I need. Thanks for sharing.

One hack that worked really well for me when I had a lot of scarves was hanging them on shower hooks, and then placing the shower hooks on a single triangle shaped thick plastic hanger. To keep them from sliding everywhere, I just put a small dot of hot glue (hello sorority crafting days!) on the hanger.

My cleaning lady organizes all my closets for me, and label’s everything for me to find on a database in my MacBook Air. She is VERY organized and alway’s helps me find thing’s. I love my cleaneing lady, even if some thing’s go missing from time to time! Overall she is worth it! YAY!!!!!

I have a TINY closet and a big wardrobe, so I’m obsessed with my velvet hangers, but they shed black dust all over my closet.
