3 Fall Closet Tips from a Pro Organizer

We’ve officially entered that crisp NYC fall weather and if your coat closet is already groaning under the weight of layers, it’s time for a seasonal reset. Try these quick, practical tweaks to avoid task friction and relieve those micro-stressors of fighting with your coat closet. 

🍁 Boot Boot shapers: These are a game changer for keeping tall boots upright, saving space, and preventing creases. Bonus: they make your closet look instantly more organized and less cluttered.

🍁 Slimline coat hangers: Bulky coats don’t need bulky hangers. Use skinny, sturdy hangers to fit more outerwear on the rod without everything getting squished.

🍁 Winter accessories check-in: The beginning of the season is the perfect time to assess what you actually see yourself wearing. Ask yourself: When was the last time I went through my scarf drawer? If it’s overflowing, it’s time for a mini edit. Ditch anything pilling or itchy. Keep what you love and actually wear, nothing more. To store winter accessories, we recommend using an open bin made from a material that won’t snag or pull on delicate fabrics like wool, cashmere, or knits. Since hats, gloves, and scarves are often made from these softer materials, choose bins crafted from cotton, canvas, leather, or felt. Store the bin near the front door so it’s easy to grab what you need on your way out - and just as easy to put things away when you come home.
