Back-to-School: The Perfect Time to Get Your Kids’ Closets Organized Before the Holiday Season
Are you smelling the pumpkin spice everywhere? The leaves are slowly changing colors. Isn’t it wonderful? Especially now that the schools are in session, and you finally have a breather to enjoy it all. All that excitement of new routines and class schedules is beginning to settle in but amidst it all, has organizing your kids’ closets become your last priority?
Don’t forget Halloween is almost here and soon the holiday season (the best time of the year!) will be too, along with more routine changes and all the holiday chaos.
So really, now is the perfect time to get your kids’ closets organized and set up so they are on the path to success for the entire school year. Here are our three top tips on How to Get Started:
- Assess – Start by taking stock of your kids’ current closets and carefully go through what they have. Assess each item for its condition and size. Sort through and decide what gets kept, donated and disposed.
- Organize – Next step is to categorize and organize once you’ve sorted through everything. One idea is to separate the clothing by type (shirts, pants, dresses) or by season. Use bins and baskets for storing smaller items, to make it easier for kids to find what they are looking for.
- Incorporate – (Smart Storage Solutions) – Incorporating smart storage solutions like adding hooks and pegs, shelves and cabinets help maximize space in your kids’ rooms and makes their work and play areas look neat and clutter-free. Consider creating storage for seasonal clothes or bulkier items.
Pro tip: get your kids involved in picking out their choice of fun storage solutions to reflect their personality and style. This is also a great way to inculcate in your children the habit of organization and responsibility.
Taking the time to invest in organizing your kids’ closets can lead to a rewarding year ahead. Not only will the daily cleanups and homework become stress-free, but it will also set the stage for a relaxed holiday season ahead.
