Ideas For Organizing Closets

Closet organization offers a variety of options to suit your needs.


Closet space is at a premium in most households. Many people who complain that they just don't have enough closet space are actually being misled. The typical closet is not used to maximum effect because of disorganization. Properly organized closet space throughout the house has the potential to reveal as much unused space as would exist with the addition of a brand new closet. Does this Spark an idea?


Storing Foldable Clothing Elsewhere


Make organizing your closet easier by removing some of the clothing that really serves no purpose being in there. Any kind of clothing that has to be folded over a hanger can withstand the effects of being folded to fit inside a drawer. Start your closet organizing process by giving yourself more room in which to work by whittling out any items that can be placed elsewhere.


Adjustable Shelving


When installing shelving in your closet, always ensure that they are adjustable. Adjustable shelves are a key principle to successful organization because they allow you to tailor that organization according to changes in need. Another good tip for using shelving as closet storage space is to group like items together on the same row so that you can more quickly pick out what you want.


Pullout Drawers and Trays


Drawers or trays that pull out are an effective organization tool because they can be introduced into just about any size or shape of closet. Pullouts also afford the opportunity to use the interior of the closet as space for organizing items that may not be obvious closet objects, such as things that normally take up space in a junk drawer in the kitchen.


Clothing Arrangement


Organization of closets does not have to mean manipulating storage space. For more efficient processes involving clothing choices, you can choose to arrange items in a number of ways that better facilitate your daily routine. Rather than organizing your clothes according to what they are, you might do better to organize by color. Another good organization strategy is to arrange outfits in the order in which you wear them: pants, shirt, jacket, tie that all work together to form a specific ensemble. Repeat this organization so that you have at least a week's worth of ensembles already assembled in order when you enter the closet to pick them out.


Organizing According to Use


A large closet can benefit from an organizational design that situates clothing according to use. This tactic will help cut down on the time wasted flipping through clothing that you rarely wear. Take an inventory of the clothing you wear the most consistently, and organize your closet space so that these items are up front and easily retrieved. Clothing that you wear less often or for special events should be placed in the back or even inside another closet in the house.
