The Best Tips for Organizing Every Single Closet in Your House
Spring is almost sprung. (Right, groundhog — RIGHT?!)
And with the warmer temps, there's one (practical) thing on our mind: spring cleaning!
That's why we brought in Joanna Teplin and Clea Shearer, the ladies behind the Nashville-based, full-service home organization company, The Home Edit, who showed us how to organize not one, but all three major closets in your home — your bedroom closet, linen closet and entryway closet.

Read on for all their best tips, from fresh labeling techniques to the sheet organization trick that might just change your life. (Seriously — not an understatement!)
HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR BEDROOM CLOSET
1. Label EVERYTHING
Especially, say Joanna and Clea, your closet bins. Once you separate your accessories and give them each a bin of their own, label them not with those little plastic guys that come out of your label maker but actual bin labels, which look a whole lot like luggage tags (an equally excellent choice!). That way, then can hang in LARGE font, right off the side.
2. Put Some Sparkle in Your Egg Carton
According to Joanna and Clea, those little compartments are MADE for jewelry organization. (They actually use Rach’s egg crate in our studio!)
3. Go For "Rainbowfication" With Your Clothes
I.e. Organizing your closet by color! Of course, Joanna and Clea didn't invent this trick, but it's a wonderful reminder. Because honestly, does your closet ever look better (and is it ever easier to navigate) than when it's color-coordinated? (Answer: Nope!)

HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR LINEN CLOSET
1. Give Your Pillowcase Double-Duty
There's nothing more annoying than going to change the sheets on your bed and discovering that the fresh set is missing a piece! (Where is that second pillowcase?!) Joanna and Clea's solution? Put everything for one set INSIDE of one pillowcase. That way, you know where every piece in that set is. Plus, it makes storage so easy!
2. Bundle Your Guest Towels
Not only will wrapping a set (with either twine or ribbon) help ensure that they all stay together, but when it comes time to pass them off to your guest, it will look like a little present! ]]>????
