The biggest endeavor I undertake each spring and fall is the turnover of my closet. This effort pays huge dividends. I have a fairly small closet by today's standards so I have to be efficient with space. I am fortunate to have good storage space at home and can pack away non-seasonal things to maximize my useable space. If you do only one spring cleaning activity, I highly recommend that you consider this because it is life changing.
One of the businesses that I started as a designer is Closet Rapture, a wardrobe editing business. The need for this service was an offshoot of my design business for clients feeling overwhelmed by their stuff. A thousand times I've heard, "I have so many things but I have nothing to wear". Seriously, they just can't find it or see it amidst the things stuffed in their closets.
My business partner and I spent a year researching wardrobe editing and closet efficiencies. We read every book ever printed on the subject and had countless conversations about the topic before we even launched a single project. We have assisted a broad spectrum of women ranging from a stay at home moms who just want to add a bit of pizazz and effiicency to their wardrobe to high profile personalities who need their wardrobes and closets streamline for their busy demanding life.
Here is a reposting of the piece I wrote for Closet Rapture which is every bit as valid today:
