Importance of organizing a baby's closet

When it comes to organizing a baby's closet, most parents think it's an easy task. However, the reality is that it can be very difficult, especially if you do not have much experience. Fortunately, there are some ways to simplify the process and make sure your closet is in order.

  • First of all, it is important to take into account the size of the closet. If it's too small, it can be difficult to find everything you need. On the other hand, if the closet is too big, it can be a waste of space. 
  • Secondly, it is important to determine what type of clothing the baby will need. For example, if she is going to be a baby who will be born in winter, then she will need more warm clothes. 
  • Thirdly, it is essential to organize clothes by categories and different drawers or spaces. For example, shirts and pants should be separate.
  • Finally, it is essential to ensure that the cabinet is clean and free of dust. If you don't do it, your clothes get dusty and no one likes that.

How to organize a baby's closet by clothes?

The best thing, in our opinion, is to organize a newborn baby's closet into drawers by month, that is, from 0 to 3 months, from 3 to 6 months, from 6 to 9 months and from 9 to 12. Depending on the number of drawers you have. In this way, as time goes by, you put away the small clothes and take out the new ones. It is very important when organizing a baby's closet that we classify the clothes before starting to organize.

Underwear

For underwear, the boxes from ikea are very useful, where the items are organized by type of garment. That is, one keeps socks, another tights, another onesies, etc. It is important to have underwear on hand since it is used a lot every day and it is what we change the most for the baby.

Onesies and bodysuits

If you haven't put the onesies and bodysuits in little boxes because sometimes we have a lot, the best thing would be to organize them with the vertical organization that is so popular now, to be able to select each day what we are going to use and thus we will have it in sight.

Jackets and skirts

Jackets and skirts are organized in the closet differently. We usually prefer to have them hanging to have them at hand. If you don't have a bar or it doesn't fit, then it would be folding them in a way that they are all visible at the same time, because if not, sometimes we don't know what we have and we always end up using the same thing. 

Booties and tights

The booties and tights are always usually put in different boxes. We recommend storing them with clothespins for the little ones, so they don't get lost. And the leotards, it is advisable to have them organized by size.

Gloves, hats and scarves

Gloves, hats and scarves are items that are used a little less, so it is better to organize them in the baby's closet in a lower area, less used. Also in little boxes so that they do not end up messy around the closet.

Baby shoes

For baby shoes there are several alternatives. Everything will depend on what the closet is like and the space we have. When they are little, the “hanging shelf” that is tied to the closet rod and that comes with around 6 spaces for 6 different pairs is quite useful . Sometimes 2 pairs of baby shoes fit per space. 

If not, in a larger box and organize them all in sight.

Other baby accessories

The other accessories are usually put in closet organizers. On Amazon and other stores there are usually many types, and depending on the space each one will take one or the other.

The first trick is to choose a good place for the closet. It should be a cool and dry place, without drafts. It is also important that the closet is not in a room that makes a lot of noise, as this could disturb the baby when he or she sleeps. 

Another trick to organize a baby's closet is use boxes or containers to store things. It is also important that you use covers to protect the baby's clothes from dust and humidity. Clear covers are perfect for this as they allow you to see the clothes without having to open the covers. Last but not least, you need to use tags. We explain it to you!

Clothes folded vertically

Vertically folded clothing is a method of folding clothing that originated in Japan. The method is based on the idea that clothing can be folded more efficiently if it is placed on a flat surface and carried carried out with care and precision. The clothes are neatly folded and visible, instead of some clothes being stacked on top of others. 


Folding clothes vertically is a method that requires a little practice, but once mastered, it can save a lot of time when folding clothes. Vertically folded clothing is also ideal for storing clothes in small closets or tight spaces, as it allows clothes to be stacked neatly and efficiently.

Organize baby clothes by color

As any parent knows, keeping the baby's room organized can be a challenge. Between diapers, toys, and clothes, there seems to be an endless amount of things to consider. One way to help keep the baby's room organized is to sort the baby's clothes by color. This can help you quickly find the clothes you need, and it also looks neater than a jumble of different colored clothes. Additionally, sorting baby clothes by color can also help you notice when something is missing. 

For example, if you know that all of your child's blue clothes are organized, but you can't find the green shirt he wore yesterday, you'll know it's time to do some laundry. On the other hand, if everything is mixed up, it can be difficult to know if something is really missing or if you just can't find it in the pile. So the next time you're looking for a way to organize the nursery, consider sorting the baby's clothes by color. It's a simple solution that can make a big difference.

Clothes in different drawers

Organizing clothes by drawers can be a good way to keep your closet organized and easy to access.By grouping clothes by type, you can easily find what you're looking for and avoid having to search through a pile of clothes. Plus, it's a great way to prevent clothes from getting wrinkled or damaged. When organizing your drawers, start by separating clothes into categories such as shirts, pants, skirts and dresses. Then, within each category, divide the clothes by color or style. 


For example, you can have a section for white shirts and another for black shirts. Or you can have a section for work clothes and another for casual clothes. Whatever system you choose, make sure it makes sense for you and is easy to maintain. With a little effort, you can turn your walk-in closet into an organized, stylish closet that will make getting dressed every day a breeze.

Portable coat racks

Portable coat racks are essential for organizing any entryway, providing an easy place to hang all types of outerwear, while freeing up floor space. Many people choose portable coat racks because they offer more flexibility than traditional stationary ones, since they can be moved as needed or taken on trips. In today's market there are endless designs that range from the simplest and most functional to the most decorative: there is surely one perfect for every taste! Some people even use several portable coat racks throughout the house in different rooms for more storage options, making it easier than ever to keep everything tidy.

Use labels, bags and auxiliary elements

In such a fast-paced world, it's important to be organized. That's where tags, bags and auxiliary elements come into play. They help us keep track of what we have to do and where we have to be. But they also serve a more mundane purpose: they help us keep our things classified and together. 

Whether it's school supplies or shopping, labels, bags and auxiliary elements help us keep everything in its place. And when everything is in its place, we can relax and enjoy the really important things in life. For baby clothes (and ours) it is really useful to use labels to mark the type of clothes that are within a section. Thank you, labels, bags and auxiliary elements!
