Happy Tuesday everyone! I am so excited to share another one of my closet renovations with you! One of my good friends asked me to organize her boyfriend’s closet for him as a birthday surprise. I jumped at the chance to do it because men’s closets are soooo much easier than women’s closets and I can usually do what I want! Prior to organizing the closet, I actually did not have the opportunity to go to his apartment, so I had to trust her pictures and descriptions.
For men, I try to make sure that their closet is not “over-organized”, creating a simple and easy-to-manage space. One thing I have noticed is that the slim hangers do not work very well for men’s clothing and the plastic hangers tend to take up a lot of space, so wooden hangers are usually my go-to item.
Check out my before and after pics and let me know what you think. Do you know a guy that needs some organizing help? If so, send him my way!

| BEFORE: Here is a picture of my client’s closet, filled with dry cleaner bags. For NYC, the closet is a decent size, however the space was totally underutilized.
BEFORE: Same picture as above from a different view.
AFTER: This is my client’s closet after 4 hours of organizing. By using wooden hangers, I tried to create a “clean” look for his space, making his dressing experience easy. I also found wooden shoe racks that hold 9 pairs of shoes each.
AFTER: An up close photo of the tie hanger that I found at BB&B for $15! I wanted to find something that was wooden and a hanger/organizer that did not take a lot of space. This was the best option! (Can be used for belts too)
AFTER: This is the left side of his closet, designated for suits and suit separates. By arranging them this way, I hoped to make getting dressed for work a seamless process. |
