7 steps to declutter and organise 1. Prepare

If you rush into a wardrobe clear-out or do it on a whim, you may end up causing yourself even more stress.

2. Gather all of your garments

Help whittle down your wardrobe by putting all your clothes in one place and separating the different types of garment into piles to help spot duplicatio­ns.

3. Find your favourites

Pick out your favourite items you really love or enjoy wearing and put them in your ‘keep’ pile.

4. Sort through all the rest

Look at what’s left in each category and decide whether each piece of clothing really deserves a place in your wardrobe.

5. Play the numbers game

Set yourself a limit on how many clothes in each category you keep.

6. Storage solutions

Choosing hangers which work best for your wardrobe space and using drawer dividers to separate out different categories of clothes will save you time.

7. Rolling not folding

Rolling clothes and storing in boxes or drawers is a really easy way to organise your wardrobe.
