Clothes storage can be challenging for many people. You may be like so many others out there who have a lack of organization in their home. Unfortunately, if your closets look like a wreck, then you need to do something about it! You don’t have to spend thousands on new clothing racks or get rid of everything you have in the closet. All you need is a few tips and some time to put things where they will be handy.
Closets
Closets are the forgotten storage places in many homes. Most people only use their closets to pack for vacations, but this doesn’t leave much room for other types of clothing. So before you do anything else, make sure your closet is tidy. Use a combination of rods, cabinets, and hanging racks to maximize the space you have.
Create Clothes Storage Space, use a Combination Of Dressers, Closets, and Shelving. A combination of two dressers, a few shelves, and hanging racks will convert an empty closet space into an efficient storage unit. Start by using taller clothing such as coats and dresses to create more space in the higher cabinets. You can store long-term clothes at the top level, while shorter items can be stored at the bottom. And if you’re storing long-term items such as suits, then you’ll want to be sure that your clothes are not wrinkled before you store them in the storage unit.
Utilizing Vertical Space
Another way to create a more efficient storage space is to use the vertical space of your closet. Adding hooks on the ceiling, wall, or even a rod to hang up a dresser is an easy way to increase the amount of vertical space in your closet. You can also add accessories to accent your closets, such as scarves, hats, scarves, belts, purses, bags, shoes, gloves, and more. If you have enough closet space, you may consider putting an entire floor-to-ceiling closet organizer to hang more than one clothing item. You can use this for shoes, belts, dresses, coats, etc.
Use Closet Organizers and Boxes
Closet organizers and boxes are great space-saving storage tools that you can buy or even make yourself. Closet organizers come in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit your specific wardrobe. You can buy shelves, boxes, hanging racks, cubbyholes, or any other type of organizing tool to maximize and increase the amount of space you have in your closets.
