Closet Organization Tips!

One area in the home which often needs an organizing lift is the closet.  Here are some great tips in getting your closet to function the way that works best for you!  

  1. Items you use at least once a week, should be stored at a height between your shoulders and your knees.  Higher or lower than that, and you will find it harder to put things back. You want to develop a system that will make it easy for you to maintain.
  2. Consider all of the space in your closet, look vertically.  Add a shelf if you have empty space between your top shelf and the ceiling.  If you have a door, how can you use the back of the door for space? 
  3. Consider what you are hanging and what you need folded in your closet.  If you have items that could be folded and need more space – consider a 6 shelf canvas sweater organizer.
    4. If you have more shirts to hang and less pants – consider a double up adjustable closet rod.  This is also great in children’s closets, it gives them easier access to the clothing you want them to be able to reach.  
  4. For shoes, try to get them off of the floor.  A closet will look and feel more organized if there is not a bunch of mismatched shoes on the floor.  Consider a 20 pocket shoe holder that can go behind a door.  You can use this item for other things than just shoes, think about scarves, gloves, belts, accessories. etc.  
  5. Store out of season clothing towards the back of your closet or in a different area all together.  This includes shoes that are out of season.
