Closet Storage Ideas Made Simple

Does your closet no longer have room for all your clothes because it is overrun with other stuff? And your coats and jackets have no more space for storage? Many people recognize that their closet isn’t working when it gets overcrowded and disorganized.  Closets that make insufficient use of space can be frustrating and overwhelming.  Use these closet storage ideas to get your closet under control and your home back in order.

Vamp up your closet and have everything out in front of you in a closet for a great way in managing your wardrobe more efficient and effective. Consider first your personal needs before you make a closet system. Using shelves is one way to make room for winter and summer clothes, so that you don’t have to toggle out wardrobes when the seasons change. This can significantly cut down on the labor and storage space that it takes to swap out clothing every few months. Begin with two hanging bars on one side. This will be where all of your pants, long sleeved shirts, dresses, suits, and coats will go.  On the other side of the closet, you can install all shelves. Fold and stack all of your t-shirts on one shelf. Use the next shelf for shorts and sportswear. Use baskets and bins for socks, underwear, swimwear, gloves, hats, or whatever else you have that needs to be separated. Use hooks for things like robes, baseball caps, and purses. Use specialty hangers for scarves, belts, ties, and skirts. Your clothes hangers can make a big difference in how much you are able to keep in your closet. A sturdy wood hanger or coat hanger should be used for heavier coats and suits. However, you can use hangers that save more space, like cascading hangers or slim hangers.
