Organize It: Linen Closet & Master Closet

Last week, I shared our pantry re-organization with y'all, and I thought while I'm re-organizing/purging/cleaning, that it would be a fun little min-series for y'all!

So today, I'm sharing how I've organized our linen closet in the master bathroom and some ways I organize our bedroom closet. 
Here's a clean view of our closet. Each shelf has it's purpose. 

The top shelf holds extra linens and blankets.
Below it is "DJ's area" where he stores extras: toiletry bags, shaving supplies, etc. 
Then, I have a shelf with extras: nail polish, lotion, makeup, oils, etc. 
Then we have towels
And below it, hand towels, wash clothes, kids nail polish, toiletry bags. 
I have a small basket that I keep my most used nail polishes in. 
I have plastic tote buckets to hold things too. Hairsprays, lotions, hair products, bath bombs, etc. 

I like using clear containers because I can see exactly what is in each one. Also, I have had these totes since college when they were drawers, but the actual tote pieces have broken. 
When we moved to Texas, and found our selves short of a linen closet for sheets, etc. (because I'm using the linen closet for my oils) I bought these bags from Amazon to keep spare sheets in. 
Alright, I also wanted to share under my bathroom sink....

I use a silverware organizer to organize my makeup. 

I have a tiered shelf for extra bottles. 

And I just put up command hooks to hold my ponytail holders, which I think is a genius because we were constantly loosing them! I told DJ that he could get my ponytail holders for Christmas and he found some that came on a ring, so the rings hook nicely on to command hooks, and now we always know where they are! 
On our bathroom, I have all of the oils that I'm constantly reaching for close at hand. We ordered it from Tucker Design Co, and it's one of my favorite pieces to have. 

Alright, let's head in to the closet. 

We don't have a dream closet by any means, but I've been able to utilize the space efficiently by using lots of hooks. 
We have a ton of wall space in our closet, so again, I hung command hooks to hold my purses. 

I've also considered buying these for DJ's hats. 
Another thing I try to do to have our closet aesthetically pleasing, is using all of the same color hangers. 

I also organize my clothes by season and color, which helps me find just what I need. 
I use an over the door hanger to hold bags, ropes, and hats. 
And a jewelry holder on the wall for earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. 

I find that if things are just given a space, and hung up that there seems to be less overwhelming clutter. 

Alright, so here are a few tips:
1. Purge. You do not need 5 different foundations and 20 different eye shadow palettes. I literally only have what I need on  hand and buy more right as I'm starting to run out. 
2. Use containers to hold the clutter. Plastic bins, storage totes, etc. Give everything a place. 
3. Hang it up. Utilize the wall and door space.
4. Make it Match. Keep your hangers the same color, and organize your clothes by color. 

Alright, your turn! Share some of the ways you've organized your linen closet or master bedroom in the comments!
