Autumn’s here with its cooler days and falling leaves, so it’s time to get your wardrobe in order. Nothing fancy—just a straightforward job with a bit of fun to keep it light. At Moduspace, we think your closet should make life easier, not harder.
Here’s how to switch things up for the season, step by step.
one
CLEAR IT OUT & CLEAN UP
Before you even think about layering up, take everything out of your wardrobe. Yes, everything.
It might seem like overkill, but a full reset is the best way to get organised properly. With your wardrobe empty, take a moment to wipe down the shelves, dust off the corners, and vacuum the floor. If you want to go the extra mile, spritz some linen spray or add a scented sachet to keep things smelling fresh.
Starting with a clean slate makes all the difference, and you’ll appreciate the fresh, clutter-free space once everything is back in place.

EDIT ONE CATEGORY AT A TIME
Now that your wardrobe is empty, it’s time to be honest with yourself. Instead of tackling everything at once, sort through your clothes one category at a time—jeans, sweaters, coats, shoes, and so on. Ask yourself:
- Does it still fit?
- Do I actually wear it?
- Is it in good condition?
- Does it suit my style and lifestyle anymore?
If the answer is “no” to any of the above, it’s time to let it go. Donate items that are still in good condition, sell higher-value pieces, and toss anything too worn to be useful.
Try not to overthink - if you haven’t reached for it in the last year, chances are you won’t miss it. Streamlining your wardrobe means less clutter, fewer decisions in the morning, and more room for the pieces you actually love and wear.

ROTATE YOUR SEASONAL STAPLES
With your summer clothes out of the way, it’s time to bring out your autumn and winter pieces from storage.
Unpack those cosy sweaters, long coats, and boots, and take stock of what you have. Try everything on to make sure it still fits and aligns with your current style. If anything no longer sparks joy (or warmth), consider donating it to someone who will appreciate it. There's no point in holding onto knitsyou’ll never wear. Plus, making space for the items you truly love helps you identify any gaps in your wardrobe - perhaps you need a new staple coat or an extra pair of boots to get you through the season.

ADJUST YOUR WARDROBE FOR AUTUMN
Now comes the fun part: setting up your wardrobe to suit your needs. Your storage should adapt to your lifestyle, not the other way around. Take a moment to assess how your autumn wardrobe differs from your summer one.
- Need extra height for those long coats? Adjust your hang rails to create more vertical space.
- More shoes this season? Reconfigure your shelving or add a shoe rack.
- Love a good knit? Make sure your chunky knits have a dedicated, easy-to-reach space.
Your Moduspace wardrobe is designed to adapt to you - so make the most of it! Customising your wardrobe isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about making everyday life easier.
When everything has a place that makes sense for your lifestyle, getting ready becomes effortless. No more rummaging through piles of clothes or struggling to find space for your favourites - your wardrobe works with you, not against you.

CATEGORISE LIKE A PRO
Once you’ve finalised your collection, it’s time to get organised.
Arrange your clothes by type first (coats with coats, knitwear with knitwear) and then by colour. This not only makes getting dressed a breeze, but it also makes it easier to put things back - no more guessing where that jumper belongs! When you know exactly where everything is, you’ll find yourself spending less time searching for outfits and more time enjoying them.
A well-categorised wardrobe also helps you mix and match pieces more effortlessly, making styling your outfits more fun and stress-free. Plus, putting things back in their designated spot becomes second nature, reducing the likelihood of your wardrobe becoming cluttered again.

KEEP IT UP: SMALL HABITS, BIG IMPACT
The key to an organised wardrobe? Staying on top of it. It’s not just about setting up your wardrobe once—it’s about maintaining it with simple daily habits.
- Hang up your coat instead of draping it over ‘the chair’ (we all have one).
- Give your boots a quick wipe before stashing them away to keep them looking fresh.
- Fold or hang things properly rather than throwing them in a pile - future you will be grateful.
It’s the small habits that make the biggest difference. A few seconds of tidying here and there prevent the dreaded build-up of chaos. Instead of a seasonal overhaul every few months, you’ll have a wardrobe that stays effortlessly organised all year round. Little habits, like putting things back where they belong, can make a world of difference in keeping your space looking pristine and functional.
With these simple tweaks, your wardrobe will be autumn-ready in no time. You’ll feel the difference in your daily routine, knowing that every piece of clothing has its place and is easy to access. And who knows? You might even enjoy getting dressed on chilly mornings when everything is beautifully arranged and easy to find.
After all, when your wardrobe is as effortless as your style, every outfit choice feels like a win.
