Back to School Closet Overhaul: Simplify Your Morning Routine


The back-to-school season is the perfect time to overhaul your kids' closets and streamline their morning routines! A well-organized closet not only saves time but also reduces stress for both you and your little ones. Here are some tips to help you create a functional and stylish wardrobe for the school year.


  1. Declutter and Sort: Start by emptying the closet and sorting through all the clothes. Separate them into categories: keep, donate, and discard. Only keep items that fit well, are in good condition. Put clothes that aren't suitable for the current season aside in storage bins or vacuum sealed bags.

  2. Create a Capsule Wardrobe: Now is a perfect time to start a capsule wardrobe for your kiddo. Using what you already have as a foundation, choose a base color (like navy, black, or gray) and a few complementary colors. This makes mixing and matching easier. Focus on quality basics such as jeans, plain t-shirts, a couple of sweaters, and a versatile jacket. These items should be comfortable and durable. Then add a few statement pieces that reflect your child’s personality. Limit the number of items to keep the closet manageable and reduces decision fatigue!

  3. Categorize Clothing: Group clothes into categories such as school uniforms (if you have them), casual wear, sportswear, and special occasions. Either hang them in the closet or sort them into drawers accordingly. Labels can help maintain this organization and help kids to find what they need quickly!

  4. Use Clear Storage Solutions: Invest in clear bins or labeled baskets to store smaller items like socks, underwear, and accessories. Use drawer dividers in larger drawers to keep pants and shirts separate. This keeps everything visible and accessible.

  5. Implement a Daily Outfit Organizer: Use a hanging organizer with compartments labeled for each day of the week. This way you can plan outfits in advance, reducing morning chaos, and who doesn't love the sound of that?

  6. Utilize Hooks and Racks: Install hooks or low racks for backpacks, jackets, and hats. Keep these items off the floor and within reach to promote independence AND tidiness.

Phew! This all sounds doable, right? By organizing your kids' closets and creating a capsule wardrobe, you’ll simplify your morning routine and make back-to-school time more enjoyable for everyone. A little effort now can lead to a smoother, stress-free start to each day! But you don't have to do this alone! Give us a call, and we're happy to help put these steps into action.
