The Hidden Stress of a Cluttered Closet—And How to Fix It
Let me tell you something I’ve learned—not just from designing closets, but from years of juggling work, raising two daughters, and trying to keep peace in my own home:
A cluttered space creates a cluttered mind!
It’s easy to overlook, especially when you’re in survival mode—busy with work, laundry, dinner, and everything in between. But that overstuffed closet you keep “just closing the door on” every day? It’s quietly adding stress to your life.
I remember when my girls were little. Our mornings were already hectic, and trying to find shoes, school clothes, or even a missing purse in the chaos of a messy closet made it all worse. That stress would spill into the rest of the day—everyone frustrated before we even walked out the door.
That’s when I realized something powerful:
When your home is organized, your heart feels lighter.
And it’s not about being perfect. It’s about being intentional. Giving every item a place. Creating a rhythm in your space that makes life feel easier.
That’s why I started Vision 2 Reality Closets.
Because I’ve lived it. And now, I help other women do the same—turning cluttered chaos into calm, peaceful spaces that bring relief, not stress.
If you’ve ever stood in front of your closet and felt overwhelmed, you’re not alone. The good news? You don’t have to stay stuck in that cycle.
3 Simple Shifts You Can Make This Week:
Start with what you wear most.
Pull your top 10 go-to pieces to the front. You’ll be amazed how much smoother your mornings get.Let go of guilt-clothes.
You know the ones—things that don’t fit or never get worn. Give yourself permission to donate them and make room for peace.Use baskets or bins for the little things.
Shoes, scarves, belts, even random clutter—give them a home. Clear space brings clarity.
Your closet doesn’t have to be a stress zone.
Let’s turn it into a space that makes you exhale when you open the door.
Until next time,
