If you're like me, your closet is the one area of the home that goes unkept and disorganized.  Just close the door, and the mess doesn't exist, right?  Well, the folks at Closets by Design have come up with a few tips that will make it so simple to keep your closet nice and organized, you may want to spend this weekend straightening it up.  Best of all, Closets by Design are sharing these helpful closet organization tips with us for free.  Thanks guys!

Here are five simple closet organization tips from the professionals at Closets by Design:

• An operating system isn't just for the office - Organize your clothes by color or by casual to formal and then hang like-types of clothing together (i.e. shirts, pants, skirts, etc.)
   
• Make the shoe fit - Squeeze in more shoes per shelf by arranging pairs with one toe facing out, one toe facing in.  If you like to keep your shoes in boxes, make sure you label the original box or use clear storage containers.
   
• When seasons change, it's time to rearrange - Rotate your fall and winter clothes with your spring and summer clothes.  Store the out-of-season clothes in covered clothing racks in the attic or basement of flat storage boxes under your bed.
   
• If you don't use it, lose it - (This is my biggest problem area) If you're hanging onto that pair of jeans that will fit only if you lose 10 pounds, donate them.  Once you shed the weight, you can buy a new, trendy pair.  Get rid of stretched out bathing suits, worn out shoes, and that pair of pants you've been planning to alter for months now.  Cutting the clutter will automatically make you more organized and efficient.
   
• It's not your closet, it's you - Get into a routine of straightening up your closet the same time each day.  Whether it's before work, after work, or before you go to bed, don't wait to put your shoes away or hang your clothes until you can't see your closet floor.
