The first step is to discuss your needs and their needs.  An important thing to keep in mind here is that women, most of the time, require more space than men.  While men, on the other hand, require quick, in-and-out access to their items.  These are just two of many things to discuss and consider.  In the end, make sure that both of you compromise, and have in mind how the closet will be delegated.

Lastly, implement your plan of attack, and make sure that it’s going to work for the both of you.  Remember to keep it tidy and clean, so all your hard work doesn’t go straight out the window.  Follow these simple tips and you, and your partner, will be free of any closet sharing woes.  Good luck!
