First Task
Take everything out of your closet
The reason why I start this project with emptying your closet is because you can then decide if you need a new closet system or a new paint color. For closet paint color I would recommend a white or a light brown. A warm light yellow is a popular closet color, however I find that it to stressful for a closet.
Tip If you don't want a built in shelving system in your closet, you can put in a dresser and a few racks instead.
Second Task
Organize all your clothes
After everything is out of your closet you will want to place your clothes into groups. Some common groups are exercise attire, formal attire, school or business attire, and casual attire. Once you have your clothes in groups you can really start to think about what you need and don't need. If you have a huge pile of formal attire, but you rarely have formal parties, the formal attire pile would be a more urgent pile to clean out.
Third Task
Decide what you want
You need to think about every individual item and decided if you want to keep it or not. When you are deciding about an item think about how often you where it, are you glad you have the item, and would you buy it if you saw it in a store. Make sure you have only what you need. While you are doing this keep the clothes you want in their piles, so it will be able too organize your closet later.
Fourth Task
Place what you are keeping back in the closet
When you are putting things back into the closet you should make sure you are putting it back in an organized manner. If you kept your clothes in the piles you could have all the clothes in your closet organized by the occasion you would were them for. Another popular way to organize is by color. Or you can organize your closet by the type of clothes it is (ex. long sleeve shorts, sweaters, dresses, T-shirts etc.) Whatever will be most effective for you is what you should choose.
