Be relentless. If you haven\u2019t worn it in a year, toss it.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 0px 0px 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: Georgia; color: #323333;\">Store Your Off-Season Stuff<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3>Plan<\/h3>\n<p>Understand what you need to put in your closet. Hundreds of shoes? Lots of long dresses? Work shirts and pants?<\/p>\n<h3>Use Rods and Shelves<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Rods hung at 64 inches (162 centimeters) are good for floor-length gowns, robes, and coats.<\/li>\n<li>Rods at 54 inches (137 cm) work for shorter dresses and pants hung by the cuff.<\/li>\n<li>38 to 42-inch rods (96 \u2013 107cm) accommodated shirts, jackets, and folded pants.<\/li>\n<li>Double your hanging space by using a rod that can be hooked directly onto the one above \u2013 no carpentry skills needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Think 360 degrees<\/h3>\n<p>Use every inch of available space. Add a shelf just below the ceiling to store extra blankets. Put hooks onto any open wall space.\u00a0Install a shoe rack on the back of the closet door. Use roll-out storage boxes on the floor.<\/p>\n<h3>Customize<\/h3>\n<p>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 \u2013 including expandable systems that don\u2019t require cutting or installation tools.<br \/>\nAlternatively, work with a professional or company that specializes in closets. They can be pricey, so be specific about what you want and shop around.<\/p>\n<h3>Design With Visibility<\/h3>\n<p>Instead of using closet drawers where you can only see the top layer of clothing, install wire baskets or see-through plastic bins.\u00a0Stack 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.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 0px 0px 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: Georgia; color: #323333;\">Make\u00a0A Spot For Shoes<\/h3>\n<p>Keep the floor tidy and your shoes protected.\u00a0Build in cubbyholes, slanted shelving, or use clear plastic boxes. Pocket- style shoe racks or canvas shoe \u201cshelves\u201d suspended from a rod are good options for quick and easy installation.<\/p>\n<h3>Use Good Hangers<\/h3>\n<p>Wood, padded or sturdy plastic hangers help keep the shape of your clothes.\u00a0Avoid wire hangers. They do horrible things to shoulders and get tangled easily. Recycle wire hangers at your local dry cleaner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you have a huge walk-in or a tiny reach-in closet, rooting through wrinkled piles of clothes every morning isn\u2019t a particularly soothing way to start your day.\u00a0Here are some ideas on turning storage space that\u2019s killing you into a \u201ckiller\u201d closet.
