When the weather gets warmer and the sun stays out longer, it brings with it a natural period of transition and refresh. We swap out our wardrobe,
Spring has a way of revealing what winter allowed us to ignore. Closets feel tighter. Shelves feel heavier. Mornings feel more chaotic than they need to be.
That’s why I always recommend starting your spring cleaning in one place: your closets.
Closets are where daily routines begin and end. When they’re organized, everything flows more smoothly.
Here are 8 simple, expert-backed tips to reset your closets this spring.
If it hung untouched all winter, that’s important information.
Heavy coats you avoided. Boots that weren’t comfortable. Sweaters that felt outdated.
Spring is the perfect time to edit what didn’t serve you this season.
A full reset allows you to see your space clearly. When shelves are empty, it’s easier to design a more intentional system instead of just shifting items around.
Would you buy this again today?
If the answer is no, it may be time to donate it. This question eliminates guilt and speeds up decision-making.
As you pack away winter items, evaluate them. If gloves are mismatched, scarves are pilling, or coats no longer fit your lifestyle, edit now — not next year.
Rotating seasonal clothing keeps closets curated instead of crowded.
Group like items together:
When categories are defined, maintenance becomes easier.
Spring cleaning is also a chance to improve your systems.
Drawer dividers, uniform hangers, labeled bins, and custom shelving can completely transform how a closet functions. When everything has a clear home, clutter has nowhere to accumulate.
This is where momentum stalls.
If you truly can’t decide, place those items in a sealed bin with a date on it. If you don’t reach for them in three months, you have your answer.
Organization isn’t a one-time event.
I recommend a quick 10-minute reset once a week. Straighten hangers. Refold sweaters. Return misplaced items.
These small habits prevent clutter from quietly building back up.
When closets feel intentional and streamlined, mornings become easier. Getting dressed feels simpler. Laundry flows better.
Closets set the tone for the entire home.
Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Start small. Start intentionally. And let your space feel lighter as the season shifts.
Because when your home feels fresh, you do too.
