Granted, you have a small closet. And you probably stuff your clothes wherever you find space. The results are predictable. A jumble of crumpled clothes, badly in need of ironing. It’s enough to make you weep.
However, making the impossible possible is our specialty. We will show you how to achieve a well-organized closet with the little space you have. It is surprisingly easy and you will realize that there is enough space in your closet after all. Without further ado, let’s check out these interesting tips.
Storage containers to the rescue!
Zip-up storage containers are a blessing when you are short of space. Stuff that you don’t use regularly, such as your woolens or jackets, can be placed at the bottom. Segregate the rest of your stuff and pack it separately. This means the pile of T-shirts will be in one container and the underclothes in another. Pick the sizes according to what you want to store in your box. It makes sense to evaluate your stuff before you purchase your boxes. Once you have stored the stuff in your boxes, pile them one on top of the other, depending on what you need first. And hey, go for transparent containers so that you don’t have to hunt for your stuff.
Wall space can come in handy too
If you have a tiny walk-in space, make optimum use of the wall space. Hook racks are ideal for your purses and belts. While they may not look aesthetically appealing, the space you save in the bargain is a huge plus! And why waste precious closet space on bulky jackets? Let them mingle with your purses on hooks. It’s handy and saves you space too!
Use a mix of dividers and drawers for extra storage
A close look at your closet will tell you that a lot of space goes to waste when it isn’t well-organized. This is especially true for deep shelves that have empty space behind, or the top of your pile of T-shirts. You can easily harness all that room by using dividers or drawers. Pullout drawers are functional and you get to use the space at the back too. As for dividers, what better way to corral bulky sweaters than confining them in tight slots? You get the picture…
Need to refresh your interiors?
Reach for the sky
Admittedly, the sky is a stretch. However, you can let the shelves go all the way up to your ceiling. This will give you plenty of space for your luggage, blankets, extra pillows, and winter storage. To make your task easier, ensure that your storage boxes have labels so that when you climb up the ladder and zip out the container you need in a jiffy.
The space inside your wardrobe shutter
The inside of your wardrobe shutters is a treasure trove of space and is the perfect home for hooks to house your bags, belts, and even little trays for your perfumes or makeup. Cloth bags with pockets are ideal for footwear too. To give it a fancy look, pick hooks that elevate the look. Space them in a way that they don’t bang into your shelf edge or you won’t be able to close your cupboard.
Light it up!
Proper illumination is essential in wardrobes and closets. You don’t have to hunt for stuff in dark corners and can see the colors clearly. Yellow track lights are gorgeous, but they give off a lot of heat. A sweaty face isn’t the perfect look when getting dressed! LED lights are a better option for this space.
Summing up
Where home decor is concerned, you will find that there are easy solutions for most problems. The closet is no exception. It’s how you store your stuff that matters.
