Whether you’re remodeling your home or just want to organize your space, your closet has a lot of potential. Have a lot of old clothes and shoes in your closet that are cluttering the space? After deciding what should stay and what needs to go, it’s time for the fun part!
How do you want your closet to look? A custom closet remodel can help ensure you make the most of your space and get a closet that is as efficient and attractive as possible.
In general, however, here are some closet organization tips that can help increase efficiency (and make your space more attractive):
- Maximize vertical space – if your closet is on the smaller side, building up is going to really help. People often overlook the vertical space they have, which is underused in many closets!
- Use racks – racks are perfect for belts, ties and shoes. If contents in your closet are hidden away, they are more easily forgotten. But having a hanging belt or tie rack where everything is neatly out on display allows you to see everything but maintains a clean, de-cluttered look.
- Light the space – lighting is essential, especially for bigger closets. It can also help create ambiance and enhance the overall look of the closet interior.
- Add accessories – there are a number of handy closet accessories that increase storage space and maximize efficiency, from jewelry trays to pull-out baskets to shelf dividers.
- Store shoes wisely – you have many different choices for shoe storage! If space permits, cubbies work well, but so do collapsible hanging racks. Rubbermaid, who we partner with for storage and shelving solutions, offers a number of convenient closet accessories, including:
- Drawer cubes
- Dual access shoe boxes
- Nestable bins
- Collapsible hanging shelf units
- And more
If you have a walk-in closet, as opposed to a smaller reach-in closet, you can even consider adding an island with shelving, drawers, etc. and smooth counter surfaces ideal for folding and laying out clothes.
