If organizing your closet in on your mind, there are a lot of things to consider. Let’s take a look at how to organize your closet with six things to keep in mind.
Shoe storage
Storing all your shoes can messy and disorganized in a hurry if you don’t have the right system. But if you do, you can breathe a sigh of relief when you walk into your closet, because all your shoes are displayed easily, so you don’t have to hunt for them. Storing shoes is a big component of many people’s closets, so it is important to design a space that works well for you and the space and shape of your particular wardrobe area.
Multi level poles for maximum storage
Maximizing your vertical space can make a world of difference for storage capacity. Instead of all your items in piles, they could have their own rack!
What about those bulky items that take up a lot of space? They don’t need to clutter everything up. You can be as tidy as your heart desires with multi-level pole storage!
Extra shelving
When considering how to organize your closet, extra shelving is the first thing a lot of people think of, and for good reason. Extra shelves are an excellent catch-all to help you get organized. If building extra shelving is something you don’t want to tackle yourself, hiring a handyman is something to consider.
All those things that end up on the floor of your closet or shoved into corners can find a place to live with extra shelving. Feel the calm of walking into an organized closet!
Are there enough supports to properly hold the shelves?
Before building extra shelves, it is critical to ensure that you have enough supports to hold the anticipated weight that they will hold. The last thing you want is shelves that sag and even collapse due to insufficient supports. That problem is very easy to avoid with proper planning. To get help with that, consult a local handyman.
Drawers for closet organization
Do you have a vision for what your closet needs to be tidy and organized? Many times that can include in-closet drawers to supplement what you have in your dresser, or even replace it altogether. Imagine a closet where every pair of jeans, socks and stray item has a home. An organized, clutter-free closet is well within the realm of possibility.
Mounted mirrors in the closet
A finishing touch to a closet overhaul, that has the potential to bring everything together nicely is a mirror or two. Having mirrors in the closets offer two benefits:
- It gives you a chance to see how you look in your outfit before you leave the house. A full length mirror is a good idea for this.
- It gives your closet the appearance of greater depth and size.
Even if no one sees your closet but you, having that added dimension can help give your closet a roomier feeling that could add to the overall Zen of your personal space. And after all, if you’re going all in on organizing your closet, you might as well turn over every stone and get the job done, completely, right? At least that is how we feel about it.
