Having a well-organized wardrobe isn't just about folding clothes neatly – it's also about creating a system that's easy to keep organized. A simple but powerful trick? Custom labels. By designing your own, you get both function and style – adapted exactly to your taste and your space.
✂️ Why labels?
Labels in the wardrobe help you to:
-
Find the right garment quickly
-
Simplify sorting (e.g. seasonally or by color)
-
Create a uniform and stylish feeling
-
Make it easier for the whole household to keep order
Whether you share a wardrobe 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
-
Training clothes
-
Underwear
-
Knitted
-
Summer / Winter
-
To work / Free time
-
Accessories
Also think about how you want to mark up - is it for boxes, shelves, hangers or clothes bags?
🖌 Step 2: Design your labels
Here comes the fun! 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 table tool and print.
-
Design in the app - Easiest option!
Tips:
-
Choose one font which is easy to read but neat – e.g. sans serif combined with an italic heading.
-
Hold one neutral color scale (eg black and white or beige) for a stylish feel, or use pastels for a soft look. There are several labels to choose from.
-
Add icons if you want (eg a shirt, pants, socks).
✨ Extra tips for style points
-
Stick to one uniform layout - e.g. same size and style on all labels.
-
Photograph your wardrobe before and after - perfect for your blog or Instagram!
