How to Organize Your Closet for Optimal Wellbeing

Just imagine the scene after a custom closet installation. Clothes are no longer falling off the shelves and shoes are no longer piled in a heap under the hanging rack. Shirts, pants, skirts and dresses all have a designated home. Hats are neatly stacked in rows that equal that of a store display and jewelry is accessible and organized. The dresser has been donated to charity and everything is organized and easily accessible.

The day Vivienne of Erie, Colorado, had her custom closet installed, she sent a text to her designer that said “My mind is blown. Everything fits and I still have room to spare! Buh-bye dressers! Thank you, I’m thrilled with my new closet.” How did she feel? Relieved, free and exhilarated.

It’s easy to assume that Vivienne probably has a giant closet or spent a fortune. Not true. A skilled closet designer doesn’t need a limitless budget, an expansive closet or even three full walls to design. Vivienne has a modestly sized closet with entries to both the bathroom and the laundry room (which reduces the area that can be designed) and she had no desire for a grand closet. Her designer focused on function… and form followed beautifully. Another satisfied client with another beautiful closet—all in a day’s work.

Research how to reduce stress and the words clutter, organization, anxiety and unfinished projects appear as a common thread. Our surroundings make a significant contribution to our mental and emotional health. In fact, one study showed that people who struggle with clutter and unfinished home projects have higher levels of cortisol, increased depressed moods, and less satisfaction in their home compared to those with organized homes.

Investing in organizing your home is not an indulgence, it’s a vital part of reducing stress and cortisol in your daily routine. We all want our homes to be to feel like sanctuaries away from the chaos of the world. A custom closet can be the first step toward gaining a little peace of mind, and a professional closet designer can be the agent of that change.
