Having the time to clean the house might be difficult in general, but keeping up with the closet organization of growing children is a special challenge.
The main element to easy kids closet organising is to make the most of the space you’ve got. As children’s clothing tends to be on the little side, it’s crucial to make use of every inch of available space by utilizing separators, hanging racks, and boxes.

If your children’s clothing is neatly stored, getting them dressed in the morning won’t be a hassle. If your children get dressed themselves then having lower bars and storage could be helpful.
Before taking on the challenge of organizing your children’s closets, you should perform some decluttering and get rid of any old, unused items. Whilst the act of decluttering in and of itself may seem daunting, it actually only entails the following straightforward steps:
Empty The Wardrobe Completely
As it’s simpler to begin with a blank slate, you should first empty the closet. This will facilitate the subsequent process of sorting. The contents of the laundry basket should not be forgotten either. Having nothing in your closet might help you visualise the available storage space, allowing you to better organise your belongings.
Create Categories
The following piles should be created:
Can Wear Now
Clothes that are suitable for the current season and your size can be found in this pile. Transforming your kid’s closet seasonally is a terrific method to maintain order and purge outgrown garments. When spring arrives, it’s time to ditch the bulky sweaters and coats in favor of lighter fabrics suitable for the warmer weather. Have a look for some sneakers for boys for the summer months and bring out the boots in the winter. If you plan in advance you can prebuy and store for the new seasons and shop in the sales.
Store
Things that are too big or can be passed down, and seasonal pieces, can be packed away in vacuum pack bags or boxes – with comparable items placed together and all well labelled.
Donation Pieces
Clothes that your child no longer wears or has outgrown, or that you simply don’t care for, but are still in good condition, can be donated to this pile. You can either give them away, donate them to a baby bank, or even sell them. A seller might choose from a wide variety of selling choices.
Toss
Things you no longer want that are too old or beyond repair can be recycled.
Empty All The Drawers
The first step in any sort of organisation project is to empty the area and assess the available storage space and the items that need to be stored. You can do this along with your cupboard organisation, sorting into piles as before.
Add Liners
Such measures prevent dust buildup and the shifting of items within the drawers. Clean-smelling drawers and garments are a bonus of using scented drawer liners. Perfect for updating your older pieces.
Insert Some Draw Dividers
With drawer dividers, their miniature wardrobe may be kept neat and tidy. You can put items together by type and or color – based on how many items you have. You can use empty shoe boxes or invest in some specialized drawer dividers for this purpose.
Maintain order by placing clothing items in their boxes within drawers. Group similar objects together, such as tops, and store them independently from bottoms. This makes it simple to find what you need and to tidy up afterward.
Storing The Footwear
Not only do kids need somewhere to store their wardrobes, but they also likely have a plethora of shoes if they’re anything like us. Kids’ shoes, from the wellies to the trainers, should be neatly stored, not left strewn about the hallway or buried at the back of a closet. This makes our lives easier as well because they are better able to discover and put on their shoes independently.
This situation calls for a minimum of complexity. Encourage your kids to help out around the house by making it simple for them to put their shoes away after use. Each child should have their own basket or crate to store their shoes in so that they can easily find their own pair in the morning and return them to their proper location at the end of the day.
These tips should help you to get on top of your kids wardrobes in no time. Do you have any other tips that may help? Please share some in the comments.
