Refresh Your Closet for Summer ☀️

3 Simple Ways to Create More Space (and Love What You See)

As the school year wraps up and summer approaches, it’s the perfect time to give your closet a quick refresh. A few thoughtful tweaks can help you create more space, streamline your mornings, and fall back in love with your wardrobe.

At Tidy with Trista, we believe every space should work beautifully for you — and that starts with clearing out what no longer serves you. Before adding new storage, take a few minutes to declutter. Let go of the items you no longer love or wear, and you’ll instantly make room for what truly fits your life right now.

Here are three simple ways to maximize your closet’s potential:

1. Upgrade Your Hangers

Matching hangers instantly elevate your space and make everything look more cohesive. For small closets, slim velvet or wooden hangers are a game-changer — they save space and help your clothes stay put.

2. Maximize Vertical Space

Don’t overlook your top shelf! Add a low-profile shoe rack or labeled baskets to store off-season items. This draws the eye upward, creates structure, and keeps clutter off the floor.

3. Add Storage Below

Make use of the space under your hanging clothes. A 2-, 4-, or 6-cube unit is perfect for organizing handbags, accessories, or folded sweaters. Add matching bins or baskets to keep it tidy and visually calm.

A few small changes can make your closet feel lighter, more functional, and—best of all—easier to maintain.
