Keeping your storage closet neat makes it easy to find things.
The closet is often the place where a number of miscellaneous items are stored, or where important items are 'lost.' If you've reserved a closet or two in your home as storage units, it's essential to keep these closets as tidy as possible to make overall home organization easier. Does this Spark an idea?
Size
The size of your storage closet will, of course, help you to determine how much can fit inside. The closet's roominess will also indicate the type of items that can be stored there. For instance, a slim and 'tall' closet may be best for housing long winter coats, while a wider closet would be ideal for boxes of summer sandals.
Benefits
The main benefit to having a storage closet -- and keeping it neat -- is that your seasonal items will be easily accessible. If you have certain decorations that you only use during Christmas, Easter, or Thanksgiving, these can be stowed away in a closet that is reserved for holiday home accents. A storage closet will also help you to get your family's recreational items organized, i.e. a closet just for camping and fishing gear, or all the necessary gear for a baseball game in the backyard.
Considerations
To make the most of your storage closet, it's a good idea to install additional shelves on the closet walls to hold smaller items, like Christmas ornaments or winter gloves, that can easily get lost or damaged in boxes. Or, if there's enough space, bring a small bookcase into the storage closet to create removable shelves that will make closet organization easier.
