Whether it’s a tiny apartment, or a spacious house that you live in, storage management can very often be a real challenge. Raise your hand if shoving clutter in your closet without proper organization is a thing you do very often. Don’t worry, all of us do it too. However, we all know that a clean, organized closet is simply priceless, especially in those chaotic weekday mornings. This is why we gathered a list of 10 simple and practical closet organizers that will help you get the whole storage area under control once and for all!
Great job, you decided to take matters into your own hands, and finally get rid and organize the stuff that had been piling up for some time around the house. Before you buy anything that should help you keep your closet organized, there are a few things you should know.
Be honest with yourself: are you really going to wear those ripped jeans or dress you wore only once like 10 years ago? If the answer is no, then it’s time to take everything out and decide what you want to stick with, and what you should say goodbye to. Decluttering is an essential part of reorganizing your storage space. Besides, many people actually say that they enjoy decluttering and it’s a relaxing activity that provides them with a feeling of relief.
Hanging up clothes randomly without even thinking about it is the perfect recipe for a disorganized closet area. So that is why you should consider rearranging and hanging your clothes separately. Whether it’s in sections depending on the season, or the type of clothing or even colours, strategical hanging is actually a thing. It might sound like just another dull household chore, but trust us, once you get used to closet organizers, you will wonder how you haven’t started with it earlier.
No closet space? No biggie. Consider using some of your other rooms in your home to store your stuff. For example your office. You can turn one entire side into a closet area. That way you won’t have to share storage space with anyone else other than yourself.
It’s about time to switch to a better, more unified look and get rid of the plastic or deformed wire hangers. These thin hangers come in a set of 100 pieces which will not hurt your budget. Their velvety surface is here to ensure you that your clothes wouldn’t slip off, and they don’t have sharp corners so you won’t have to worry about dents on the shoulders of your blouses. Plus, they are very strong and durable, but are very thin at the same time. And believe it or not – these hangers will increase your closet space by as much as 50 percent!
If you are looking for a temporary shelving addition to your closet at a very reasonable price, definitely go for these. This hanging storage offers six shelves with a great load capacity. Even though it might seem that this storage item isn’t very durable, it proves to be quite the opposite. These shelves are perfectly designed to fit any folded clothes. The worst thing that might happen is that if you put too many heavy stuff inside, it may sag a little bit.
Yes, shelves are very handy closet organizers, but even when storing items on shelves, items can easily become chaotic. These shelf dividers are here to make sure everything stays in its place. T-shirts going into the blouses’ territory is no longer a thing if you use them!
We had to include them on the list, even though you probably have at least a few around your home. They are a must, since let’s face it, closets get messy and storage boxes are here to keep things neat and organized at all times. You can find an array of different colours and sizes, and opt for storage boxes that fit your needs and style. What makes them so convenient is that they are light and can be easily carried around. Plus, you can use them for a variety of things, from clothing to toys and even food.
Tip: If you are feeling creative and crafty, you don’t have to buy storage boxes. Instead, you can make your own, and stuff it with all of your favourite things. This way you can add a kind of a personality stamp to your storage items.
