📌 Step 1: Declutter and Sort

✔ Start by Emptying the Closet – Take everything out so you can start with a clean slate.

📌 Step 2: Maximize Closet Space with Smart Storage

✔ Use Vertical Space – Install shelves, hanging organizers, or over-the-door storage to maximize every inch.
✔ Add Drawer Dividers – Keep socks, underwear, and small accessories neatly separated.
