"For example, most often people use wooden hangers, thinking an expensive hanger is better but useless because there is not enough space," he told 9honey Living.
"It looks completely different if you decorate your closet in a more minimalist way. I use velvet hangers, very simple, very cheap. There are 30 hangers for $10 at Kmart; Your closet will look much more functional and even more aesthetically pleasing if you swap them out."
"But people think, 'Oh, it's an expensive hanger and it's good,' and it looks great, but it's just for showrooms and not suitable for everyday wardrobe."

Using the same stylish hangers throughout your closet isn't Njegovan's only advice, but to truly understand why customers keep and continue buying their clothes, you need to ask yourself a few questions, she says.
"We find value in what we have, in the way we look, in what we wear, in the car we drive. This leads to us not knowing who we are," he explains.

When Njegovan organizes a wardrobe, her approach "depends on where the client is in their journey," as some people find it harder to let go than others.
"So I have to tread very carefully with these customers because there are a lot of memories of them buying it when they were in [a certain stage of their life]," he says.
Tips and tricks to organize and do everything quickly and easily
However, practical things for Njegovan to consider include how long it has been since you last wore an item of clothing and whether you are keeping a stained item of clothing that you have never tried to repair.
"You have to make a decision," he says. "If I say you have to make a decision… you have to get rid of it, that basically doesn't do you any good."

"Sometimes I think, 'Oh, but maybe I can remove the stain.' And I say, 'Okay, you spend the time, what's your time worth? Are you going to take it to the dry cleaners or are you going to spend another half hour, an hour cleaning that shirt that you haven't cleaned in 18 months or three years?'
"That's why I have to give examples straight away so that people can make a decision straight away."

Once you've cleaned out your closet, Njegovan says you need to consider your lifestyle and the frequency with which you need certain items of clothing to reorganize it to keep it organized.
"It's planned separately for each style, so I don't have anything easy that I can just tell people: I know the person, I know their lifestyle, how much time do you spend in the gym, where should the gym clothes be? Are you a company? Are you an artist? Whatever you are, we configure the wardrobe based on your current lifestyle," he says.
Once you're done, add labels and consider storing out-of-season items on the top shelf of your closet in a basket that you can swap out as needed.
