A well organized closet saves precious time for your morning routine, these easy time saving ideas will simplify hectic mornings.
To double check your outfit, attach a mirror to the back of your closet door using heavy duty double sided mirror tape. If the door is folding, simply remove the frame from a full length mirror to allow the door to open freely. A small magnifying mirror attached to the full length mirror is perfect for putting on pierced earrings. A tube of lipstick or gloss and a hair brush tucked in a decorative basket nearby allow for quick touch-ups, without going back and forth between your closet and bathroom.
Organizing your jewellery, mornings can be hectic finding the perfect compliment to an outfit, fumbling through a jewellery box is frustrating. If you are lucky enough to have a large walk-in closet or dressing room then a dresser is a great solution., There are drawer inserts for jewellery, this allows you to open the drawer and easily choose the right accessory.
Other creative and easy alternatives include, metal baking cooling racks, attached flat to a wall with command hooks, the flat rack becomes an instant place to hang and organize your jewellery, the command hooks allows the freedom to move the jewellery rack without damaging the wall.
Another option for organizing jewelry is a framed cork board, use push pins in sections to organize rings, long necklaces, short necklaces, bracelets and earrings. The size of the board will depend on wall space available. Hang the cork board in your closet, this allows you to coordinate your outfit and jewelry at a glance. No room in the closet! Take a picture frame and paint it to compliment your decor, insert thick cork and secure it with craft glue, your jewellery board becomes attractive wall art.
Quick Tip: Replacing all the hangers with slim flocked hangers, maximizes space in your closet and adds elegance and uniformity.
