Accessories can be the hardest things to organize. Maybe it\u2019s because they come in so many shapes and sizes. Plus, there\u2019s just so much!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have belts, ties, scarves, hats, purses, watches, sunglasses, jewelry, and the list goes on and on. That\u2019s just for adults! Kids\u2019 and teens\u2019 accessories<\/a> can be even more overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Diplomat Closet Design, we frequently work with clients who are at their wits\u2019 end about accessory overload. Here\u2019s our guide to keeping things tidy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start With an Accessory Edit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first and most helpful thing you can do is start by spreading all of your accessories out somewhere, like on your bed or dining room table. Get a good look at everything in bright light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there anything too old, stained, or broken to wear? Put it in boxes to donate it to charity or give it away. Better yet, hold an accessories swap<\/a>, which is a fun and affordable way to trade accessories with other fashionable friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By editing down your accessories, you\u2019re taking the first step to controlling clutter<\/a> and focusing on the items that you treasure most. This will make the next steps much faster and easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small Scale Solution or Major Closet Upgrade?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that you have a better idea of how many accessories you need to organize, take a moment to decide whether this will be a small-scale or large-scale project. Fewer than 20 accessories is probably a smaller project. A bigger stash requires a much bigger solution!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, someone with just a few belts and ties can probably get away with adding a hanging belt and tie holder in the bedroom closet. But someone with a large collection of hats, ties, cufflinks, and watches will need a custom closet<\/a> storage solution that provides a proper place for each stylish item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t always depend on your home\u2019s original builder to give you enough storage for accessories. Even homeowners with newly-built walk-in closets<\/a> are often frustrated to discover there\u2019s nowhere to put their accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look at this gallery of master walk-in closets<\/a>. At first, you don\u2019t necessarily notice the sheer number of accessories these closets are holding because everything is so neatly organized. But if you look closer, you\u2019ll see there are accessories everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
