Closet can get stuffed, disorganized and messy, but purchasing storage systems for every closet in your home can be expensive. Instead of looking at pricey and cumbersome solutions that take up your whole closet, look for easy, affordable closet storage solutions that use some everyday objects to help you gain control over the clutter in your closet. You'll find that some homemade or do-it-yourself solutions work just as well, if not better, than expensive commercial solutions from organizational stores. Does this Spark an idea?
Shoe Organizer
Any woman can tell you that those over-the-door, hanging shoe organizers won't do much for her excessive show collection. However, that hanging shoe organizer can be used for another application, for which the transparent pockets are perfectly suited. Think about all the times belts, ties, hats and accessories end up on the floor. Instead, use a hanging shoe organizer to coil your belts and ties and place them where you can see them, and where they can be easily accessed. It gets your small clothing items like belts and scarves off the floor.
Milk Crate Shelving
Purchasing shelving units for each of the closets in your home can do some serious damage to your wallet, but you can create your own shelving for free or very cheaply using milk crates. Visit a local dairy or grocery store and ask for their leftover milk crates. They are stackable, and just the right size for puffy sweaters and denim jeans. Bring them home, and use screws to bolt them to the wall so that they don't tip over. The best part is that you can unbolt them and rearrange them any time you need a different storage configuration.
Utensil Drawer Organizing
If you are forever looking for missing earrings, necklaces, gloves or accessories through the mess in your closet, find a way to keep them all in one place by repurposing an old utensil drawer organizer. You can even paint it with acrylic paint to better match your closet decor. Placed on the top shelf of your closet, it is just the right shape and size for laying our bracelets, stashing necklaces and earrings, and even keeping those small bags with spare buttons for your coats and sweaters. Your closet can be organized and neat with affordable solutions made from things you probably already have.
