I'm lucky enough to have a fair sized closet and all of my stuff goes in there. No dresser (I have a little cart on wheels for underwear, bras, tanktops, and things that don't hang up. (Single, living alone) BUT, the biggest thing for me to whittle down the wardrobe is that I only keep two seasons of clothes out at a time. (Summer clothes get packed away in the winter and vice versa). Whenever I switch out the clothes I turn around all of my hangers so they are backwards. Whenever I wear them and put them away, I turn the hangers back to normal. At the end of the season, anything that hasn't been turned around gets donated to charity. (Unless it is for a special function). I've always lived in tiny apartments and this keeps me from having a ton of clothing that I don't wear or doesn't fit right. :D

The IKEA pax wardrobe (though a little on the pricey side in my eyes) is a GREAT solution for this. It gives you TONS of wardrobe storage in your "night" area, and with some fun fabric, creates a "wall" to anchor your "day" area. :D I used this same idea in my studio for years.
