Closet Organizer

Before buying any closet system step one is to literally pull everything out of your closet and clean out. Get rid of things that are worn and haven’t been used in a year. When you’re done with that, you can assess your organizational needs more effectively. Take count of sweaters and other bulky items that need shelving, look at the numbers of pairs of shoes, count up the pants and shirts, etc. Also measure the interior of your closet, and how far off the ground the clothes bar hangs. Have that final tally and measurements in your hand and go surfing.

Closet organizer sets such as this one will retail for about 200-400 pounds

The internet is a great one-stop window shopping system. You can go to a variety of sites that offer closet organizers and see what’s out there. Try to be forward thinking. Your closet changes with the seasons and often with personal interests. You want a closet system that can adjust to those needs, one that?s durable, and one that still allows fast, easy access to items when you want them. For example, an opaque plastic container is nice if you’re putting something away till Fall, but you can’t see what’s inside so now you’re labeling everything.

Wooden Closet Organizers

An alternative are hung wire baskets that slide in and out. You can easily see the sweaters in layers from the front of this system. Try not to buy anything that’s much deeper than 16. Anything bigger than that tends to bury stuff at the back of the shelf.

An inexpensive way of making more space is simply adding another hanger rod either above or below the present one. The top bar becomes space for long items and the bottom bar can be used for folded or shorter pieces of clothing. I also recommend good lighting fixtures , if you have the ability to see the whole closet, you?ll also be able to keep it better organized (seasonal items being cycled to the back or high shelves as needed). Another cost effective option are basket systems to go on shelves. This allows you to divide items by type and effectively double, triple or quadruple the storage space on one shelf.

If you’re willing to spend a little more money there are wooden organizers available. These won’t crack like plastic or bend under weight like an aluminum shelving unit, but they do cost more and you’ll have to be especially careful in your closet measurements to make sure it fits. If there’s a stud in the wall to which you can connect a wooden unit, all the better. This insures your new organizer won’t topple over if stacked oddly.
