A Guide to Maximizing Closet Space
When we bought our first house, the closet space was virtually non-existent. It wasn’t until we found some good organizational tools that we started utilizing the space we did have to create a functional, livable home. Small closets can be a bummer, especially when you have so many items that need to be accessible on a regular basis. With the right storage and organizational techniques, you can turn your small, inefficient closet into a functional and stylish storage solution. Whether you're reviving an older home or simply looking to make the most of your current space, these tips will help you maximize your closet and keep your belongings organized.
Utilize Vertical Space
One of the biggest mistakes people make when it comes to small closets is neglecting the vertical space. Instead of just using the floor and a single hanging rod, take advantage of the walls and install additional shelving and rods up to the ceiling. This will give you more room to store items, such as shoes, bags, and seasonal clothing.
Hanging Organizers
Hanging organizers can be a lifesaver in a small closet. They are great for maximizing space and keeping items organized. Consider using hanging organizers for items such as belts, ties, scarves, and even jewelry. This not only saves space but also makes it easier to find what you're looking for.
Invest in Custom Shelving
Custom shelving is another great investment for maximizing closet space. With custom shelving, you can make use of every inch of space in your closet, including the awkward corners and angles. Plus, you can design the shelves to be the right height and depth for your specific needs.
Relocate Out-of-Season Clothing
If you're struggling for space in your closet, consider storing out-of-season clothing elsewhere. This will free up space in your closet for the items you use more frequently. You can use under-bed storage boxes, vacuum-sealed bags, or even a separate wardrobe for seasonal items.
Over-the-Door Hooks
Over-the-door hooks are a simple and effective way to maximize closet space. They are great for hanging items such as purses, hats, and even clothing. Plus, they are easy to install and won't take up any floor space in your closet.
