best way to organize predominantly black clothing?

this might be a dumb question, or maybe it just is what it is. i wear a lot of black. most of my plain tops are black - t-shirts, blouses, tank tops, camisoles, etc. button downs and dresses are hanging in the closet, but soft cotton and similar material shirts are folded standing up in my dresser. the issue is every time i’m looking for a specific top, it’s so hard to find what i’m looking for! my two drawers are just like looking into the abyss, even when neatly organized.

the t-shirts are a bit less of a problem because i can usually feel them out. however the small tops tend to be a similar material and i have to tuck the straps in for them to fold neatly so it’s harder to distinguish them by style or material.

for people with a lot of clothing in the same color: what works best for you? am i the only one with this problem?

Organising the blue section in the middle

https://preview.redd.it/t5cco37ednyd1.jpg?width=674&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77762f425a6fa0fabfa540e942a27ed62948fef1

The closet space is mainly used for storing home clothes. It's 130 cm above ground, with a dimension of 130 cm X 30 cm X 55 cm. Any ideas on how to compartmentalise the blue section in the middle? If I add more shelves, I won't be able to reach deep because I am only 150 cm tall.

Van project

I have a 95 chevy astro passenger van that I ripped the interior out of (mold) and am converting into a work truck. I sell overstock items on behalf of a local charity and need to store packing supplies in it, but also leave space for hauling items for sale. Any tips?

In search of an 11x17 cubby system

I have 140 different kinds of 11x17 prints I need to organize as well as quickly restock and access. Something like this: www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM6MWKC4 would work perfectly for me if it was made in the right dimensions. I've been searching all week and keep coming up dry.

Shoe storage

Getting all new doors in my apartment and excited because now I have more shoe storage (much needed)! Can you help me find a shoe rack/storage for the back of my door that doesn’t show the hinges on the outside of the door (if possible)

Advice needed! Need to redo my room

Hey everyone, I’m in desperate need for advice. My room is an absolute mess. It’s been cleaned throughout the years frequently (once a week) but it hasn’t been fully organized (the entire room and not just a small section) in probably around 8 years. It’s embarrassing af but I just love collecting and keeping things and it just accumulated over the years and I don’t know what to do. I have adhd and if anyone tells me anything about my cleaning it completely puts me off and I can’t continue. I live with my family.

I’m an adult and I have the room of a child and I’ve been sick of seeing it. I need a change and I need a clean room. How do I even start? Everything is so cluttered I can’t even imagine how it would look differently. Also when I clean I do through stuff away and lots of it so I wouldn’t say I’m a hoarder to the extent I can’t through stuff away, but I’m just geniuinly at a point where I’m an adult and I have an adult amount of things and I don’t have room. I also do art and music so I have a lot of supplies and instruments that take up space. Do I just put shelves on all the walls of my room 💀

Helppppp Thank youuuu

Paperwork?

How does everyone organize their paperwork? (Taxes, sentimental cards, mortgage stuff etc). Most of it is digitized but we still have a glut of paper. Right now it’s chaotically dumped in a chest of drawers but we were getting rid of that chest of drawers to make space for a pantry and now I must deal with the drawer of chaos. I know I could put them in folders/accordions but then where do I put THAT? Help.

Has anyone else tried using calendar boards?

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share my experience with using calendar boards for organization in my real estate business. A few months back, I was struggling to keep track of appointments and deadlines. My to-do list was chaotic, and I often missed important tasks, which made me feel overwhelmed.

Then, I decided to set up a calendar board using Hyperdone. I started mapping out my week, blocking off time for client meetings, property showings, and even some personal downtime. At first, it felt a bit unusual, but once I saw everything laid out, it made a huge difference.

One day, I noticed I had a closing deadline approaching. Instead of panicking, I could adjust my schedule to ensure everything was in order. Having that visual representation helped me stay on track and avoid last-minute stress.

Has anyone else tried using calendar boards? How do you keep your tasks organized in your real estate work?

Barcode label system that works offline

I was really excited about ToteScan to organize my storage unit - which is in a climate control building made of metal which has no data or WiFi. And unfortunately their app only works when it’s online which would mean I’d have to, I dont know, drag every tub to outside, do all the scanning, then drag it back up.

Before I email all the companies that make these types of labels does anyone know of a system that will work offline? There’s no reason in my mind you shouldn’t be able to just database photos you’re taking without internet and I can’t be the only person who’s ever tried to use this in a metal building.

How to do a big clothing declutter in small increments of time

I have a lot of clothes and just one day would not be enough to go through everything. How could I work on purging my clothes and organizing clothes over multiple days between work and other chores without leaving my room covered in clothes during that time?

What is the craziest / most tedious things you organize?

Mine isn’t that crazy but I have to organize all my stationary into very specific piles all organized.

Hair pins and hair bands are organized by colour, shape, style & etc.

Essentially I like everything to have a “home” that I can put it back to
