Wardrobe organisation hacks that will save your sanity
Closet organisation is such a skill nowadays that some people even make money doing it.
However, there's no need to fork out for someone else to get your clothes in order when doing it yourself is actually kind of fun. There are even sections of TikTok dedicated to home organisation, and everything you might need to sort out your space can easily be found online.
Whether you need to create more space for yourself, or stop damaging your bags and shoes by chucking them haphazardly wherever they will fit, we have a storage solution for you.

EZSTAX T-Shirt Organiser
Ever ruined a whole pile of shirts just to get to one in the middle? Us too. This super-simple divider will allow your shirts to sit in easy stacks until you need to find one. Then, you can lift those above it using the divider, remove it swiftly, and allow the stack to remain in place. So simple, and so helpful.
Folmywy 20 Mini Clothes Hangers
Piling clothes on the same hanger can create an ironing nightmare, but these tiny hangers make it a whole lot easier. Slip one end over the hanging hook, and use the other to hold a second hanger, and your shirts will hang just a tad lower across the closet, kept separated from those around it.
Cedar Balls for Closets and Drawers
These cedar balls are a unique but useful hack for keeping your clothes fresh, especially if they'll be hanging up for a while.

MISSLO Garment Rack with Cover for Clothes
Those with very limited space often have 'open closets', an aesthetic that's taken off in recent years. If this is you, protect your clothes from dust and damage with a dust cover. Designed to drape over each other, you'll still have easy access to the clothes you wear most, while keeping them safely stored.

Sunglasses are one of those pesky items that are easy to scatter, and easy to lose. As hard as we try, we can rarely locate the pair we're looking for, knowing they'll complete the look we spent an hour putting together. This case is primarily designed for travel, but also makes a great storage option. With five slots for five pairs, you can easily fold them all into a compact bag to slide away in a drawer or your wardrobe.

With drawers and dividers, you'll be able to keep your favourite products handy for everyday use.
LONGTEAM Hanging Purse Organiser
This nifty hanger might take a little longer to get here, but Amazon is offering free international shipping. With 10 spots for slotting in purses or handbags, it looks like an absolute gamechanger.

ZEDODIER Purse and Handbag Hangers

Jayalpha 6 Piece Clear Shelf Dividers
While these look quite simple, a quick check of TikTok will show you just how useful they can be.

These also work great for laundry and kitchen cupboards.

Adding a shelf to your wardrobe is another great storage solution. Made from sturdy material, you can stack jumpers or shoes atop the shelves, while making use of the smooth-sliding drawers for socks and underwear.

A change of season can be a relief, as we grab one set of clothes and pack them away for the remainder of the year. These vacuum storage bags are ideal for saving space, especially if you're packing away bulky jackets, or formal dresses you don't wear very often. These ones come in a pack of 15 – five small, medium, and large, as well as a pump to seal them off. Once you've packed away the items, they'll take up less space in your wardrobe or beneath your bed.

Well-known for preventing dampness, mildew and mould, these moisture absorbers from DampRid will stop your closet from getting musty. With a lavender vanilla scent, they promise to dry the air to a level where mould can't grow in dark, enclosed spaces. At just $20 for a pack of three, these are a great investment for protecting your clothes.
Amazon Basics Velvet Non-Slip Hangers
Wire or plastic hangers often don't have the grip required to hold up items. Enter: velvet hangers, which are slim and grippy, perfect for maximising on space. This 30 pack feature small notched shoulders to further prevent slippage, and can hold up to 4.5 kilograms.

LONENESSL 10 Pack Space Saving Hangers
While they might look odd, these hangers are great for saving space. Often seen in retail stores, they allow you to hang more while taking less space on the hanging rail. You can hang them using both hooks, then place your hangers in the provided spaces, or hang them to sit outward from the railing, hanging the shirts in cascading order if your closet space allows.
