Tidying up your closet like Marie Kondo: 20 essential tips
If you’ve ever heard of the Marie Kondo method, you know that it’s based on a simple idea: “Keep only what brings you joy.” This principle can be applied to every part of your home, including your closet! Here are 20 practical tips for reorganizing your closet and clearing up clutter. Bonus: we present to you the FlexiCintre, an innovative solution for saving space!
1. Empty everything!
Before you pack, take every item of clothing out of your closet. You'll be surprised how much stuff you've accumulated.
2. Divide by category
Separate clothes into categories: tops, bottoms, coats, accessories, etc. This will help you sort and organize better.
3. Keep only what brings you joy.
Marie Kondo insists: if an item of clothing no longer brings you joy, it's time to part with it. Be honest with yourself.
4. Use suitable hangers
To maximize space, opt for hangers that allow you to hang several items of clothing at the same time, such as the FlexiCintre . This revolutionary multi-level hanger can store up to 9 items of clothing while saving space. Perfect for small wardrobes!
5. Fold clothes vertically
Marie Kondo recommends folding clothes vertically in drawers to better visualize what you own.
6. Sort by color
By organizing your clothes by color, you will have a more pleasant visual and will find what you are looking for more quickly.
7. Hang long clothes first
Long dresses and coats should be hung first, so that there is space underneath them for other items or storage boxes.
8. Use boxes for accessories
For belts, scarves and other accessories, storage boxes help keep everything neatly organized.
9. Maximize vertical space
Hang hooks behind your closet doors to hang bags or scarves.
10. Place seasonal clothing within easy reach
Store seasonal clothes in the most accessible part of your closet and move the others to the upper shelves.
11. Optimize space for shoes
Use clear boxes or hanging shoe racks to organize your shoes without wasting space.
12. Consider multi-use hangers
Once again, the FlexiCintre is a great option for optimizing space. By stacking several clothes on a single hanger, you free up space for other items while keeping your closet tidy.

13. Hang up your handbags
Handbags can take up a lot of space. Hang them on hooks to keep your space organized.
14. Dedicate a space to folded clothes
Some clothes like sweaters or t-shirts are better folded than hung. Make sure you have dedicated shelves.
15. Hang up your jeans
Rather than folding your jeans, why not hang them? This will free up space in your drawers.
16. Store jewelry carefully
Use special boxes or organizers for jewelry to keep them in view and prevent them from getting tangled.
17. Store your underwear in small compartments
Drawer organizers are ideal for underwear and socks. This will save you time in the morning.
18. Organize your clothes functionally
Organize your clothes according to their use: work, leisure, sport. This will make your daily life easier.
19. Invest in suitable lighting
Good lighting will make your dressing room more pleasant to use and will help you see what you have more clearly.
20. Be consistent in your sorting
Get into the habit of sorting your clothes regularly to avoid accumulation. What you no longer use can be donated or resold.
With these Marie Kondo-inspired tips, your closet will be impeccably organized, and you'll never have trouble finding your clothes again. And to maximize space while maintaining perfect order, the FlexiCintre is a great ally.
