  1. Ok I LOVE THIS POST! This is like an “ahhh” moment for me because God my drawers are always full and i “lose” things in them lol…never knew about vertical organizing!! I will bookmark this to refer back to it when I reorganize all my drawers! Thank you for sharing this!

  2. I’ve done this with my own clothes and it has been AMAZING! I haven’t tackled my kids drawers yet, mostly because they put away thier own laundrdy (and they are 2 &3) so I don’t think it would stay folded. Something for the future I definately want to try though!

    1. Way to go getting them to put away their own laundry! Mine oldest is 3 and we haven’t done much in the way of chores…but it’s coming very soon!

  3. My drawers currently look like your before picture. I never thought of storing clothes vertically to organize them better and save space. Thanks for this awesome idea!

  4. Omg! This was beyond helpful, when I’m too busy and just can’t be bothered, I end up throwing everything in the drawer and then have to go through a whole bunch of clothes to find what I want. This will definitely help and being organized is always good :).

  5. This is such a great idea! Will be trying it on my daughter’s shirt drawer ASAP as she has so many shirts to wade through & ends up wearing only the few items that sit near the top of the drawer!!

  6. Yes I try to do this too! I end up having to keep re-doing it though because my toddlers then come around and rummage through the drawers… so I do it more with my own drawers than with their clothing, because they like picking out their own clothes now so any creative folding I do with their draws lasts for approximately 49 seconds.

  7. This looks awesome! I should do this for my little kids clothes! Our 1&2 yr olds need some organization in their dressers. It’s always so hard to find what I’m looking for.

  8. This is absolutely brilliant! I’ve never seen that way of folding clothes before and I definitely have to try it myself. Would be perfect for my daughter’s messy drawers 😉

  9. This is exactly what I needed to finally organize my dresser drawers that I had been talking about for almost a decade. Found the right dividers and in less than a week I had the dresser drawers totally organized and have been able to keep things organized. When I open a drawer I can go directly to what I need. Thanks so much, now my next “de-clutter and organizing” will be a small walk-in closet. I’ve been down-sizing clothing wise but just haven’t got to where I want to be. Again many thanks, these postings have really given me the energy to get more organized.

  10. Hi Melissa:
    So after I had read your blog I converted my drawers to access my tops all vertically and it truly is fabulous to see everything in one shot and makes it easier to purge when the need arises as you don’t have to pull everything out of the drawers. What I’m really excited about though is the hanging vertical shelves I saw a photo of earlier in your blog somewhere because they had jeans in them and although I’ve seen them advertised for bulky sweaters, purses etc. for some reason I’d never thought of using them for pants which take up so much space horizontally in a closet. So looking forward to trying this. Thanks for all your hard work and sharing this with us!
