Solutions for a Cluttered Closet

Do you have a cluttered closet? Is something amiss in your armoire? Do you suspect that there are living things amidst the wilderness of your wardrobe? Then take a few minutes to read this helpful article, and learn about the amazing difference hangers, shelves, and shoe racks can make in your disorganized depository.

If you’re taking the time to read this you are probably one of the many who suffer from a woefully dishevelled walk-in closet. One glance at the mangled wire hangers sticking out everywhere and you turn back and begin searching the floor for something to wear. Hangers are not the enemy. Clothes are easily accessible when hung at eye level and properly sorted. Hangers help to keep your clothes wrinkle free and maintain those perfect creases in your dress pants. Get rid of all the bent-out-of-shape metal hangers lurking in your closet. Look for collapsible, multi-tiered hangers, which save space by allowing you to hang multiple garments at once. Dress shirts, pants, and dresses should all be kept on hangers with adequate space between items. It may seem like added expense, but you’re clothes were expensive too, and this will help protect that investment.

Shelves provide compartments to separate different types of clothing. Many home stores, such as IKEA, or Home Depot, carry adjustable shelving units that are easy to install. Stack sweaters on one shelf and t-shirts on another. Baskets can be used on shelves to hold socks, belts, or scarves. Most closets come standard with a shelf above the clothes rod. Install a second shelf a little higher up to create more storage space for off season clothes and shoes.

Shoes have a way of getting jumbled together at the bottom of most closets. Shoe racks keep pairs together and easily accessible. Shoes you wear infrequently can be stored in shoe box size containers and placed on an upper shelf. Choose clear plastic containers for shoe storage so you can view them quickly and easily. Another option is a hanging shoe bag. This can be hung on the back of the closet door and adds additional storage space for those who own more shoes than clothes.

Organizing your cluttered closet should be a piece of cake. Remember, clothes hangers, shelves, and shoe racks provide the structure you need to get started. Leave your wardrobe worries behind and look forward to your coordinated closet. You will be amazed at how much time you save getting dressed in the morning.
