10 Tips for Organizing Your Closet

Posted on Sunday, January 28, 2024

Walk-in closets are a wonderful thing. Of course, they don’t do you much good if they aren’t organized. Customizing your closet organization to fit your specific needs can help create a functional and visually appealing space. How? We have a few ideas.

Double Hanging Rods

Install a second hanging rod below the existing one to maximize vertical space for shorter items, like shirts and blouses.

Shelving Units

Add adjustable shelving units to accommodate different items such as folded clothes, shoes and accessories.

Built-In Drawers

Incorporate built-in drawers for items like socks, underwear and accessories. This helps keep smaller items organized and out of sight. Use drawer dividers to keep folded items, such as T-shirts and sweaters, neatly separated.

Shoe Racks

Utilize shoe racks or shelves to keep your footwear organized and easily accessible. Consider stackable shoe organizers for smaller spaces.

Baskets and Bins

Use baskets or bins on shelves to store accessories, scarves or items that don’t hang well. Use transparent storage bins to store off-season clothing, making it easy to see what’s inside. Labeling them can make finding things even easier.

Hooks and Pegs

Install hooks or pegs on the inside of doors or walls for hanging bags and hats. Hang a jewelry organizer to keep necklaces, bracelets and earrings tangle-free. Install racks specifically designed for belts and ties to keep them neat and easily visible.

Under-Shelf Lighting

Install under-shelf lighting to illuminate the contents of your closet, making it easier to find what you need.

Pull-Out Hampers

Incorporate pull-out hampers to keep dirty laundry out of sight. If your closet shares a wall with your laundry room, talk to your builder about adding a door so you can just toss dirty clothes into the wash.

Seasonal Rotation

Rotate your wardrobe seasonally, keeping current and seasonal items within easy reach. Store off-season clothes in plastic bins and in labeled garment bags.

Mirrored Doors

If your layout permits, opt for mirrored closet doors to create the illusion of more space and provide a full-length mirror.
