HEARTH & HOME sweaters, wouldn’t you say that doubling your hanging space would be the right choice? You can also then organize by type, color, seasonal wearing or however you prefer, so that what you’re looking for is at the ready and doesn’t need ironing before you put it on in the morning.   Shoes, glorious shoes For many of us, there are a few essentials in life: food, a place to lay our heads and shoes. Your spring clean is a great time to get rid of some of the older models that you don’t wear or that don’t fit. You know, the ones that have been cluttering up the bottom of your closet for the last year. Figure out what you’re keeping and then invest in some glorious, adjustable  shoe shelves. You’ll always be able to find the other shoe without rummaging through your closet, and can see at a glance what you have and what would look cute with your outfit!   Spruce up while you clean   There’s no reason why your spring clean can’t come with a little decorating flair. While the closet is empty, you have the perfect opportunity. The great thing about closet organizing systems, like Modular Closets, is that they are open-backed. That means that you’ve got wall space you can decorate to flow seamlessly with your bedroom decor. Add a pop of color with paint or some focal interest with textured wallpaper. Whatever you do, give your closet a little pizzazz along with the cleanup.   Now that your closets are redesigned and in order, you can put back everything that you want to keep, and be able to find the right item when you need it. When your home has neat, well-ordered closets and storage areas, you’re well on your way to a relaxing break in the spring air. SAVVY I SOPHISTICATED I SASSY 53
