Tips For Making a Killer Closet

Whether you have a huge walk-in or a tiny reach-in closet, rooting through wrinkled piles of clothes every morning isn’t a particularly soothing way to start your day. Here are some ideas on turning storage space that’s killing you into a “killer” closet.

Purge

Go through everything in your closet and get rid of anything you don’t wear. Be relentless. If you haven’t worn it in a year, toss it.

Store Your Off-Season Stuff

Put your summer clothes into airtight storage containers and stow them on a shelf, under your bed, or in your storage room, laundry room or attic.

Plan

Understand what you need to put in your closet. Hundreds of shoes? Lots of long dresses? Work shirts and pants?

Use Rods and Shelves

  • Rods hung at 64 inches (162 centimeters) are good for floor-length gowns, robes, and coats.
  • Rods at 54 inches (137 cm) work for shorter dresses and pants hung by the cuff.
  • 38 to 42-inch rods (96 – 107cm) accommodated shirts, jackets, and folded pants.
  • Double your hanging space by using a rod that can be hooked directly onto the one above – no carpentry skills needed.

Think 360 degrees

Use every inch of available space. Add a shelf just below the ceiling to store extra blankets. Put hooks onto any open wall space. Install a shoe rack on the back of the closet door. Use roll-out storage boxes on the floor.

Customize

Utilize every inch of space with a customized closet system. You can do it yourself with a range of options available at your local home improvement store – including expandable systems that don’t require cutting or installation tools.
Alternatively, work with a professional or company that specializes in closets. They can be pricey, so be specific about what you want and shop around.

Design With Visibility

Instead of using closet drawers where you can only see the top layer of clothing, install wire baskets or see-through plastic bins. Stack sweaters and t-shirts on open shelves piled three to four high so you can pull out the bottom item without knocking over the whole pile.

Make A Spot For Shoes

Keep the floor tidy and your shoes protected. Build in cubbyholes, slanted shelving, or use clear plastic boxes. Pocket- style shoe racks or canvas shoe “shelves” suspended from a rod are good options for quick and easy installation.

Use Good Hangers

Wood, padded or sturdy plastic hangers help keep the shape of your clothes. Avoid wire hangers. They do horrible things to shoulders and get tangled easily. Recycle wire hangers at your local dry cleaner.

It’s often the personal items and accessories that fare the worst when storage space is tight – ties get rolled up in drawers, belts fall into the dark depths of the back of the closet.
