Solutions For A Tiny Closet

It's important to be inventive with the tiny closets in your home.


If your house or apartment has small closets, chances are you'll have to come up with creative alternatives for storing items. While the limited space presents a challenge, there are several cost-effective solutions that will make tiny closets more useful and contain clutter. Does this Spark an idea?


Get Specific


When your closets are small, it's best to use each closet for a specific purpose to keep them organized and functional. For instance, a hallway closet near the door to outside can be reserved specifically for coats and rain gear.


Add Features


Shelves and coat hooks added inside a closet provide more storage and keep items such as purses and stacks of sweaters off the floor. Add dividers to shelves to store accessories such as belts, ties, and jewelry.


Get Your Closet a Neighbor


If you simply can't get more space out of your small closet, purchase an armoire or chest of drawers to hold clothing. Add a bookshelf if you need to store documents, boxes of photos, or a large collection of shoes or accessories.
