In general, Micetich recommends making sure you remove anything from the floor. She also shares guidance for more specific instances:

For folks overwhelmed by the number of accessories they have stashed behind doors, Micetich says, “Accessories can be one of the hardest things to organize in a closet. I recommend getting designated storage containers for your small accessories.”

To better see and offer an elevated aesthetic to your closet organization, opt for clear boxes to store various accessories inside. “For example, you can get a small box to store all of your scarves and a jewelry organizer or two for your rings, necklaces and bracelets,” she offers.

To help minimize shoe clutter, Micetich recommends purchasing an over-the-door shoe organizer. “I recommend dedicating some space in your closet for shoes or getting some type of shoe organizer to keep things tidy.”

She adds that an over-the-door shoe rack provides easy access and an open-shelving shoe organizer will have a good visual effect.
