Having a well-organized closet isn’t just about neatly folding clothes – it’s also about creating a system that’s easy to keep organized. A simple yet powerful trick? Custom labels . By designing your own, you get both function and style – tailored exactly to your taste and space.
✂️ Why labels?
Wardrobe labels help you to:
-
Find the right garment quickly
-
Simplify sorting (e.g. by season or by color)
-
Create a unified and stylish feel
-
Make it easier for the whole household to stay organized
Whether you share a closet with someone else or just want to feel joy every time you open the doors – labels make a difference.
🎨 Step 1: Plan your categories
Before you start designing – think about what categories you need. Example:
-
T-shirts
-
Workout clothes
-
Underwear
-
Knitwear
-
Summer / Winter
-
To work / Leisure
-
Accessories
Also think about how you want to label – is it for drawers, shelves, hangers or clothing bags?
🖌 Step 2: Design your labels
Here's the fun part! You can design your own labels in several ways – digitally or by hand. Here are some options:
Digital design (perfect for print)
-
Canva – Free and easy. Choose from ready-made templates or create from scratch.
-
Microsoft Word or Google Docs – Use spreadsheet tools and print.
-
Label templates from Avery or Herma – They have ready-made dimensions that fit self-adhesive label sheets.
Tip:
-
Choose a font that is easy to read but stylish – for example, sans serif combined with an italic headline.
-
Keep a neutral color scheme (e.g. black and white or beige) for a clean feel, or use pastels for a soft look.
-
Add icons if you want (e.g. a shirt, pants, socks).
✨ Extra tips for style points
-
Stick to a consistent layout – for example, the same size and style on all labels.
-
Photograph your wardrobe before and after – perfect for your blog or Instagram!
