Lisa Adams, founder of Los Angeles-based LA Closet Design, has transformed even the most chaotic of wardrobes into serene and soothing spaces where every item has its place – down to the smallest earrings and skinniest belt.

Adams, who was born in Honolulu and is of Korean descent, has worked with A-listers in the league of Reese Witherspoon and Christina Aguilera.

Her techniques, though, would serve anyone seeking a wardrobe upgrade – and it doesn’t have to be painful.

“The biggest misconception around wardrobe reorganising is that it is a yearly, daunting task,” she says. “I design a purging liner in my clients’ hampers so that if they pull something out that doesn’t fit, has a stain or is out of style, they have a place to put the items to take immediate action – and to not put it back into the wardrobe. This way, it becomes a daily task and in no time, becomes a habit, an instinct.”

Organising your wardrobe doesn’t have to be a painful experience, Adams says.
