The secret to having a cute closet, or wardrobe in our case, is to color-coordinate. Some pictures of walk-in closets have a ton of clothes, but that's not the most important aspect here. We are all fascinated by the art of walk-in closets that some of us might be deceived. It's a form of deception to think that walk-in closets look amazing because the clothes are amazing. No. It's just the art of arranging the clothes in a way that it appeals the eye the moment you open your wardrobe. That's why stores arrange their clothes in an orderly fashion. The look of clothes arranged in a certain classification simply attracts the eye. Accordingly, if you want to have the same feeling of walking to a store when you open your wardrobe, do learn how to color-coordinate your clothes.

1. Hang your clothes, instead of folding them.

I know it's unnecessary to hang ALL of your clothes, like why would you hang your lousy t-shirts, right? I'm here to tell you that you don't have to hang ALL your clothes, you just have to hang the stuffs that are kinda nice and will help on your color-coordination. Items such as shirts, blouses, dresses, fancy outerwears, are all worth hanging. It'll help a lot more if you can have matching hangers to make it seem a little more sophisticated. A pack of black hangers is a great buy always.

2. Sort your clothes

The next step is to sort your nice clothes into colors. Whites go together, blacks go together, blues go together and such. This step is crucial because organization is the key in color-coordination. It'll be a lot easier after you sort your clothes.

3. Arranging colors

Before you start, make your mind on which arrangement of clothes you want to do. Dark to light or light to dark? It is important because arranging clothes by the colors is appealing to most eyes. Also, this will help you decide which color to start. If you decide to go from light to dark, then the best way to start coordinating your clothes is putting the white items together. On the contrary, if you chose dark to light, you might want to start with your black items.

Colors Guide (light to dark): White - Yellow - Red - Purple - Blue - Black

4. Plain, Vacant Patterns, Full Patterns

In terms of patterned clothes, the best way to arrange this is to start with the plain ones, followed by the ones with big, sparse patterns, and then finally the small full patterned ones. This is because our eyes tend to be more appealed seeing more attractive pieces. It's more organized to look at the plain ones first before the patterned.

5. Even distance between hangers

This is one of the more crucial details in color-coordination. The distance between each hangers should be the same, that way it doesn't mess up with the proportion.

TIPS:

- If you have only one item on a certain color, it's wise not to put it on the color-coordinated rack. It'll ruin the palette of colors. However, it's still okay to put it there just as long as it goes according to the color guide.

- When it comes to striped or dotted items, it's better to put it among the darker color groups. For example, if you have a white shirt with dark blue stripes, you should put it among the blue-colored items.

I hope these steps and tips help! Color-coordinating your wardrobe is all about organization and and orderliness. But creativity is honestly the most important part! Happy color-coordination day!
