Get and Keep Your Closets Organized

June 22, 2020

Whether you’re dealing with small closets or massive walk-ins in your master suite, there are many ways to maximize the space available. These simple and inexpensive ways to organize your closet will make your life much easier. 

Use Hanging Shoe Organizers for More Than Shoes


All those little cubbies in a hanging shoe rack just scream, fill me with shoes! Another idea is to use them for rolled up jeans, leggings and other bulky items and just slide the items in and out when you need them. 


Hang Shoes on the Door

Instead of using valuable real estate on the wall or floor for shoe shelves, consider a door hanger made especially for shoe storage. There a quite a few styles to choose from and there are boot organizers available that hang from closet rods. '


Change Heights 

You don’t have to settle for just one bar hanging at one height. You can move them and add more, which can sometimes more than double the amount of space for hanging clothes. Move existing bars up higher and add one underneath.


Use Baskets

For Extra Storage Not just functional, pretty baskets and large decorative boxes on closet shelves look nice too. You can pack them with items you may not use all the time. 


Be Creative 

If you have extra wall space that you’re not sure how to use, hang towel bars and utilize them for accessories like belts and scarves. You’ll be able to find what you’re looking for immediately! 


Hang Your Purses

Purses can be bulky to store. Instead of putting them in a box or on a shelf, hang shower curtain hooks on your closet rod, and hang your handbags from there. It will not only help them keep their shape, they’ll be easy to access when you need them. 


Clean, organized closets always bring joy! Spend a little time planning yours and we’re sure you’ll be happy with your efforts.
