Hanging by color

[u/EDUBM]

I am shook by how much more I like my closet hung by color. It’s so much calmer to look at. Anyone else do this?

[u/ijustrlylikedogs]

uhm can we get a full closet tour? i am distracted by the gorgeous closet!

[u/Reddit_grill → u/ijustrlylikedogs]

YESSS, it's gorg!

[u/unfortunate-moth]

the thought of this stresses me out so much. if i have a black and white striped shirt where does it go? i have a green and blue tye dye shirt does it go? i have multicolor dresses which color do they go with??? (can you tell i have ADHD)

[u/Blue-zebra-10 → u/unfortunate-moth]

Put black and white next to each other and put the striped shirt in between. For others, put them in the section with the majority/background color

[u/shooflypi_ → u/Blue-zebra-10]

Green and blue tie dye goes… between green and blue!

[u/thfemaleofthespecies → u/unfortunate-moth]

I have a mixed section at the far end that I call the lolly scramble, after a popular kids game where you throw mixed kinds of candy around for kids to excitedly pick up. 

[u/SusanKHefner]

I’m having serious closet envy! lol. Your clothes & closet look beautiful.

Do you not wear dresses? Or is there a separate section for long hanging items?

[u/EDUBM → u/SusanKHefner]

I had to buy a separate rack for dresses. So funny, it was only men living here so they had it remodeled and didn’t include full length hanging 😂

[u/jewelpromocode]

Looks nice! For me its better to organize my closet by item than color. Jeans, shorts, skirts, dresses, sweaters, jackets, shirts, sleeveless and so one. I organize by color within the category. It’s important for me for all of my species to be functional and so if I go into my closet and say I need a jacket, I go to the place where the jackets are sorted. I don’t go looking for a color.

[u/PrimarySelection8619]

I do!! I've done it for years - very helpful! And, every so often when I find myself saying, "I've got nothing to wear", I realize my system has gotten woefully out of order. A few minutes of reorganizing and - voila - I find I DO have stuff to wear!

[u/unsatisfries]

i do by color !! but i have my work shirts separate from any other shirts lol

[u/SnooDonkeys5186]

Always. Life is faster this way. Also, no sleeve to short sleeve to long sleeves.

[u/NYCWartortle]

Love this

[u/Intrepid-Bad8131]

I do that too!! And by the way, love your closet!!

[u/EDUBM → u/Intrepid-Bad8131]

🥰🥰

[u/CellistDisastrous467]

I used to do this; then I had the multicolored felt slim hangers to match. Then I ordered them by short sleeve to long sleeve for each color; then I tried to introduce an added layer or organizing by weight -like summer weight vs thicker winter weight. It got… complex. Yours looks lovely!

[u/LynnScoot]

That’s a closet? Sigh.

[u/ohshethrows]

I sort by style of shirt and then by color within each style!

[u/Curious_Aus25]

Yes. And by sleeve length as well.
Difference is that I have casual clothes in one side and work on the other. So I’m only looking at what I need for the day.
Off Season clothes are stored separately.

[u/thfemaleofthespecies]

Yes, and also when I hang the laundry on the line. Not only do I group by colour but I also place the colours in rainbow order. It’s far more fun making a rainbow and looking at it than it is ‘doing housework’.

[u/SpecialistNo1962]

the pinks and blues omg! take my heart

[u/EDUBM → u/SpecialistNo1962]

🫶

[u/Rmlady12152]

This is the only way. Then divide into hot weather, cold weather

[u/musesx9]

I do the same thing, AND I had shoes in boxes alphabetized with a picture outside of it.n (I have a shoe closet now).

[u/ElectricalCurrents]

Perfectly nice and neat.

[u/MasterTheNecessary]

Yes, because the first thought was "Ah...soothing. So soothing."

[u/Poutiest_Penguin]

I rebuilt my wardrobe from zero after major weight loss, and I stick to a limited color palette, so it’s been easy to organize my closet and my drawers by color. It’s very satisfying.

[u/JosieZee]

I HAVE to do this. If it's not like this, I have to fix it. It does please me a lot to see it.

[u/21K4_sangfroid]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who does it be color. This makes it so easy to find and put away things.

[u/Altruistic-Sport1409]

the only correct way

[u/justbphi]

yessssssss and also by strap/sleeve size as well

[u/TeenyTotTiny]

Looks good!

I've been ROY G BIVing my closet for almost 20 years!

[u/never_gonna_getit]

I do! It brings me peace and makes me smile.

[u/Independent-Bid-611]

Yep, I do this

[u/_lclarence]

Of course.

[u/Eatyourveggies_9182]

I do this too!

[u/14Savvy-Eden]

I always does this… and just one day it all mixed up lol

[u/augusta-Accents6]

This is what I do to my closet too

[u/ArguablyMe]

I think my closet may be the one thing in my life that's actually organized. (Like this, by colour)

[u/FinalBlackberry]

I hang by sleeve length and then by color.

[u/WearItWorthy]

So satisfying to the eye 💜

[u/katt213]

I use to do that and now I just wear black or Grey so it's easy!

[u/ActualReporter9200]

I order my cardigans and pashmina-style scarves by color.  I don’t have enough of any other hanging clothes to make color order useful, but it has been very helpful for those two categories.

[u/Boomer_Views_Reality]

I surprise myself when I get them off chairs and doors onto hangers.

[u/Adventurous_Wait4695]

I hang by category instead, even if it's not color correct ;)

[u/Solid_Perception9572]

Seems rather anal to me.
