There comes a point in everyone’s life when you stop growing. After this, you’re pretty much stuck with the same clothes until they tear or stain. Unless you donate or sell them at a garage sale, it’s likely your closet is overflowing with all sorts of old stuff. To counter this, we put together some ideas below for how you can save space and effectively organize your closet.
Over the Door Shoe Rack
It can be frustrating to have to rummage through the dark, hard-to-reach crevices of your closet just when you need to grab shoes. Place a shoe rack over your closet door for quick and easy retrieval of them. Although the issue they fix isn’t completely pressing, implementing an over the door shoe rack could save you tons of precious time over the long haul.
Wire Shelving
Are there any bare walls in your closet? If so, these empty walls are great opportunities to save space by adding wire shelving! As mentioned earlier, it can be quite a struggle to sift through the many items that take home in a closet with only so much space to use. With its sturdy brackets, wire shelving can firmly sustain the weight of heavy objects such as boots, toolboxes, containers storing seasonal items, and whatever else you may need to store. Use wall-mounted for extra overhead storage or a smaller 2 or 3 shelf unit to place below your clothes.
Garment Rack
Your standard closet contains both a rod to hang clothes and floorspace to store shoes. The thing is, space is quickly eaten up after you store your dress clothes, informal garb, and everything in between on just one rack. Wardrobe kits allow you to bring order to these otherwise disheveled interiors. Generally coming with several levels with rods - each at different levels of height - you’ll have ample opportunities to file your clothes and other possessions into conveniently spaced-out categories.
Storage Bins
When it comes to storing a multitude of goods like towels, scarves, old books, or memorabilia, storage bins are a invaluable utility. Bins that are stackable provide the greatest convenience as they facilitate maximum usage of space and can be accessed without struggle when placed atop wire shelves.
Hooks
With the right placement, a set of hooks can serve as an extremely helpful way to store awkwardly-shaped goods. Things like umbrellas or scarves and ties are perfect items to store on hooks since their shapes don’t cater to conventional storage devices.
There you have it! We hope these ideas gave you some inspiration for how you can create space and convenience for your closet. Good luck!
