HOW TO ORGANIZE PAJAMAS

If your dresser drawers are overflowing or jumbled, you’re likely wasting so much time looking for things and also damaging your clothes as they are being jammed and snagged in your drawers. So, we continue my series on clothing organization. I covered cami and tank top organization in my previous post. Here I continue with how to organize your pajamas from the lightest of summerwear to the heaviest of winterwear. And, did you know, you can also organize your spaces according to your organizing style? You can find out what your organizing style is here.

Before organizing your pajamas, you must purge the pajamas that you do not like and no longer use. Be ruthless and purge the excess so you can more easily store what you do need and use.

In my freebie library here, I include guides which help walk you through the organizing process and help you decide what to purge and keep. I also include my declutter and organizing challenge calendars and guides to help direct you through each area of your home. These guides ensure you get through every nook and cranny and finally get to the other side of clutter … an organized and functional space!

In this post, we focus on how to organize your pajamas. Below, I share ideas on how to organize your pajamas with different types of organizing solutions that will work for your organizing styles and spaces. I also share how to organize workout clothes and swimwear.

Folding Techniques for Organizer-Free Drawer Organization

You don’t always have to use drawer organizers to have efficiently organized drawers. My best tip for having pajamas nicely contained is to use my folding techniques which I share here and in my updated video here:

Filing your clothing helps you to see everything at a glance so you don’t have to dig through piles and jumble up your drawers while you try to find what you need. Here is my own drawer with my pajamas stored without organizing products:

I live in southern California so these are all my pajamas. During colder seasons, I simply layer on a robe and I am all set! For those who need lots more layers, I share more organization system tips below.

How to Organize Pajamas in the Closet

In my first few apartments, I lived just fine without a dresser and contained all my clothing, including my pajamas, in my closet. I used the top shelf of my closets along with shelf dividers. The same way that you are able to see all of my pajamas filed in a drawer, they were all visible at a glance folded and piled on my closet shelf between shelf dividers. I share more tips and tricks for how to use shelf dividers here. So, for apartments that have the standard closet rod and shelf across the top, utilizing a closet shelf divider like this can replace the need for a dresser (found here):

If you prefer drawers, a small drawer system, like this one below, might be the perfect solution for you. I suggest keeping pajama tops in one of the larger drawers and pajama bottoms in the other larger drawer. Then, you can store layering items like thermal tops, thermal bottoms, and extra thick socks in the three smaller drawers (found here):

How to Create a Seasonal Storage System

Within your dresser or the drawer system above, you can store the pajamas you need for the current season. Then, you can store your out of season pajamas in a container like this on the top shelf of your closet or linen closet, etc. (found here):

Or, you can use containers like these underneath your bed (found here):

You honestly don’t need any kind of special subdivsion or organization within your out-of-season containers as you aren’t going to be accessing the items contained off season. You simply want to keep your current pajamas organized for easy access to each piece. Labeling your off season container “Out of Season” should be all you need to change out your pajama storage.
