Get ready for a self-motivation pep talk, as this may make you want to stop what you’re doing to organise your wardrobe (and home) immediately... So, prepare to restore some order and help clear some clutter from your mind too.

Simple decluttering tips

  • Slimline velvet hangers are the most important things in your wardrobe. They’re a great space-saver, making your wardrobe smarter and more organised. Definitely a game changer.
  • Don’t be afraid to roll your jeans and trousers and pack into drawers instead of hanging them up.
  • The clothes you wear more regularly need to be accessible and easy to get to, so place these in more prominent positions.

  • Ask yourself, is your wardrobe filled with clothes you don’t wear anymore? Are you likely to wear them anytime soon?
  • Think about which pieces you’ll be wearing for the next few months, and those you won’t wear until next season – if you’re not wearing items, pack them away and rotate your wardrobe as much as possible.
  • Spend a day - or two - trying on all your clothes. Did you fall in love with forgotten pieces? Or realise that a once-favourite dress no longer fits?
