DECLUTTER

For many, it can be stressful trying to organize a big heap of mess without getting overwhelmed. We recommend starting with an empty closet to allow you to construct a layout as you go and vastly decrease the amount of space wasted. Begin by removing all clothes, hampers, cubbies, and hangers from the closet. Now that you have your blank canvas, you can start to organize and filter your baby’s belongings. Out-of-season items should be collected and organized in the closet before commonly used garments to allow easy access to clothes currently in use.

SORT BY CATEGORY

Many parents prefer to organize their baby’s clothes by color or season. While both options are practical and have their benefits, we recommend choosing to sort by category. Placing similar items together will tell you where to quickly grab exactly what you need. Put all of the socks and onesies together; you can keep them near a designated shoe cubby or cabinet for easy access. It can be easy to get drawn into the fun of color-coding clothes, which can be a fun and playful look for your baby’s closet, but items like outerwear and pajamas don’t need to go together. We advise sorting everything by category for functionality and time-saving benefits.

CONSIDER LOCATION

Keep your frequently used items in easy-to-reach locations. Everyday essentials, such as diapers, should be in places that don’t require constant reaching above the head or bending down. Optimizing the areas and locations of your supplies can prevent the need for arching, lifting, and twisting your body, which promotes a healthy back!

GO VERTICAL

The easiest way to increase closet space without compromising functionality is to go vertical. Store small miscellaneous items like hats, accessories, and travel gear on the back of closet doors to free up floor space. Use hanging dividers and see-through organizers to hold baby wipes, diapers, shoes, and travel-sized gear. You can utilize the entirety of the front and back sides of the closet door. The bottom line? Hang whatever you can.

ROLL & FOLD

Is there a “best way” to store clothes? Methods differ from person to person, but the objective is always the same. The goal for folding baby clothes is to make each item as compact as possible while maintaining uniform shapes. While folding preferences vary, we would say that the style should match the type of garment. For example, large puffy jackets and other cold weather gear can be rolled into a cylinder by folding the sleeves and tucking. These garments can easily be stacked and stored in above-head storage bins. However, thinner items like shirts should be carefully folded into small squares to prevent wrinkling and reduce the space used.
