Closet Organizer Components

Keeping your clothes and accessories orderly behind closed doors is possible.


Organization of closet space can be difficult and unnerving without appropriate planning and materials. Form an understanding of your space; slight or grand alterations to closet interiors may prove necessary. Determining a project budget is important. However beneficial they may seem, acquiring more possessions only works if they improve the organization and format of an unkempt closet. Though closet size limits the flexibility of closet orderliness, take measures that guarantee regular access and structure to your clothes, shoes and other accessories. Specific organizational components work well despite closet size or shape. Does this Spark an idea?


Shelves


Consider putting bins along shelf units to further distinguish personal items.


In some cases, significant changes to closet shelving make for more appropriately functioning space. Depending on the size of the closet, consider shelf installation. Buy prepackaged shelving that comes with suitable hardware for installation or recycle wood. Shelving is beneficial for bed sheet sets or towel organizing. If drawer space is limited, arrange clothes in stacks, according to style. Some shelving varieties come with cubby holes, which work for separating shoes.


Hooks and Hangers


Hooks and hangers are a cheap and efficient addition to any closet. Both can be purchased in stores or online. If arranged adequately, these tools provide much relief to general closet clutter. Attach hooks to open wall space or to the bottom or edge of shelves to provide quick access to frequently used items such as jackets or housecoats. Hang a fabric or plastic shoe organizer from a hook on your closet door. Such a component also works well for a scarf or belt collection.


Drawers


Stackable plastic or wicker drawers provide an inexpensive solution to limited closet space. Drawers come in many sizes and shapes and can be purchased online or in stores. Drawers of this variety work for personal garments, socks, tights or leggings. Stack drawers on top of each other or side-by-side underneath hanging clothes in tight situations. Depending on closet size and budget, you may prefer wooden or even cast-iron drawers.


Discard or Donate Unnecessary Items


Discarding clothes and accessories that seldom get used or worn is an important component of keeping a closet tidy and orderly. Keeping extraneous objects that don't contribute to your lifestyle is avoidable. Maintain your closet space more efficiently by separating preferred items from articles rarely used. Donate unused things to local organizations or dispose of them. Conserving newly ordered closet space proves more effective if superfluous clothes, shoes and accessories aren't left in the way of your closet organization.
