Popular culture would have you believe that a wardrobe clean or reshuffle only occurs in spring.
However, Melbourne-based home organisation expert and founder of Your Organised Life Erin Boyce says a “spring clean” of your closet should be undertaken every season for a couple of key reasons.
“Winter clothing and accessories are much bulkier so sorting through pieces you don’t wear or use and either on-selling or donating means that you will reduce the bulk in your wardrobe,” Erin tells news.com.au.
“Winter is also the season we are home more due to the weather so it’s a perfect rainy day task to complete.”

INVEST IN GOOD STORAGE OPTIONS
Winter brings with it bulky coats and muddy shoes, so purchasing shoe racks, coat stands or hooks that can free up space in your wardrobe is a clever move. A shelf organiser (like this $5.97 Perry 5 Shelf Organiser from Freedom) is a brilliant budget way to utilise every inch of your wardrobe space. Store folded knitwear and other items that don’t need to be hung on the shelves for convenient access.
“Create a ‘mud-room zone’ somewhere close to the entrance to your home (or in the garage if you enter that way),” Erin says. “This is a place to store shoes used daily, bags, accessories and coats that you can grab and go. A cube shelf can be hacked’ to create the perfect drop zone station for each member of the home.”

DECLUTTER WITH BOXES
Buying storage boxes that can live under your bed, out of the way in your closet or on display is an effective way to streamline your wardrobe. Sort through your clothing and stow away summer garments you won’t be wearing for months so they’re not cluttering your wardrobe. “Shoe boxes are also an amazing storage product that come into play in winter as it tends to be the season our shoes get a little dirtier,” says Erin. “Storing your shoes in shoe boxes means that your other items in your wardrobe won’t be soiled by any dirt on them.”
