How do you organize your closet?

[jules]

A topic inspired by our dear Acid

I like to peep in peoples closets

So, I thought I'd dedicate a whole topic to the wonderful world of closets.
What does your closet look like? Is it walk-in? How do you organize it? Is it a wonderful flurry of piles and strewn items or is it neatly packed, even color coated?

be creative and use details liberally

leyla i like your bags!

I have a really small closet with a comple of shirts hanging up.
most of my clothes are in a very strange art nouve modernist chest.

Leyla--Polaroids are great, huh? I did that for my shoes. All in boxes, stacked up to my eyes. I need to do that for my handbags. They're currently in their little felt bags & I can never find what I want.

I have two closets. Both are messy. I organize them once a year by color like a Crayola box of crayons!!!

i have a walk in closet for season's items in my bedroom and another 'off-season' closet in the corridor just outside the bedroom.

closet arrangement is quite space-y here, i like my clothes to 'breath" as much as possible -whatever that means- and I only stock the ones that I plan to wear this season. I re-arrange my closets at the begining of every season, by taking everything out, cleaning and re-perfuming the closet, stock old season's items with plastic covers away etc.

Arrangement, goes by category, from left tp right, white shirts, summer dresses, jeans (currently two pairs only, skirts, blouses, 'hoods' and 'jackets'.

Shoes and bags are in different closets in the corridors again. I dont stock them in fabric bags all of my bags though most of them are not anything special, just messangers and very few leather ones which I rarely hold

unfortunately i havent got enough place here in the apartment but like LENA i need my clothes to breathe and usually the hangers should be seperated by 2 inches

I have a walk in closet and it's almost as big as my bathroom... and I keep all my clothes, shoes, bags and other accessories there.

On the left wall:
black/brown/grey tops, jeans, white/pink/beige tops, pants

On the right wall:
dresses, various tops, outwear, skirts

On the wall in the middle:
handbags to the left and shoes to the right

On the fourth wall in some cupboards:
accessories, like sunglasses, hats and scarfes

Leyla, all your shoes are ridiculously amazing.

I used to have a big walk-in closet in my old room, but I had to share it with my parents. Then my brother and I switched rooms and I have a tiny little closet and I am still freakin' sharing it with parents' clothes!

Layla, i love your bright red shoes! everybodys closets sound so roomy and orginized. I have a victorian house, so my closet is tiny, maybe 4ftx4? all my clothes are shoved in messily, and i can't walk in anymore because my shoes are all over the floor. I have a friend whos closet is almost as big as my room. *sigh* life is unfair.
