Design Apartment Walkin Closets

An organized closet provides the most space.


When designing your apartment walk-in closet, you'll want to create a pleasing appearance and an effective method of organization while maximizing your storage space. In order to achieve these goals, you'll need to choose from several types of storage systems and products. You'll need to find the right combination of elements to add to your closet to figure out what's best for your individual storage and design needs. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Choose to hang or fold your items.


Assess your space. Decide if your walk-in closet mainly has hanging areas, shelves or floor space. Plan to store your clothes and items accordingly. You can hang everything from shirts and pants to scarves and belts. If you have more shelf space than hanging space, fold as much as possible, and hang only necessary items.


2. Wooden hangers add a classy touch.


Use specialty hangers. Hangers come in all shapes and sizes, including slimline hangers, multi-level hangers, pants hangers, suit hangers and collapsible hangers. You can find a variety of innovative, space-saving hangers at specialty bed and bath stores. If you have abundant space, use wooden hangers for a classy look.


3. A wicker basket is a nice storage piece.


Purchase some accessory bins. You can choose large bins, small bins, compartmented bins or stackable bins. You can purchase a hanging storage solution that holds folded sweaters, jeans or accessories as well. For more specific organizational solutions, try a store that specializes in providing a variety of containers.


4. Shoes can be displayed in a variety of ways.


Find a shoe solution. Consider where and how you would like to organize your shoes. You can purchase a variety of shoe organizers depending on whether you want to display them vertically, on a floor rack or in an over-the-door shoe display.


5. Purchase elements to help you get organized.


Consider purchasing a modular system. Most department stores offer modular closet systems comprised of several parts that are designed to work together. Purchase the parts separately to create the best fit for your closet. You can purchase as many or as few parts as you need.
