This is a pant hanger that I use to hang my hats. Organization can be simple and affordable!

Accessories include purses, belts, scarves, hats and anything else that isn’t classified as a shoe or clothing. These items can accumulate, and so can the disorganization if you don’t have a designated place to store them.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 1-2 Hours

Here's How:

  1. Remove all your accessories from your closet or wherever you are currently storing them: The purpose is to have all your accessories in one place or pile.

  2. Categorize accessories: Keep accessories separated – all hats together, belts together, and scarves together.

  3. Assign separate storage: For example, hang all hats together, hang all purses together or keep purses all together in one drawer. The goal is to avoid cluttering accessories together, so that they are both easy to retrieve and put back in an orderly fashion.

  4. Store seasonal items: Save space in your main closet by storing seasonal items in a spare closet, or in a storage bin under your bed.
