No matter how big your closet is, chances are it does not seem big
enough. Fortunately, you can maximize your closet space with
closet organizers. In fact, with the right closet organizer,
you may even be able to double or triple your storage space.
More than 2,000 closet-organization companies are out there, eager to help you organize your shirts, shoes, and sweaters. If you decide to hire
a professional, the National Association of Professional Organizers can help you find someone in your area.
Keep in mind that the average custom closet costs from $3,000 to $5,000.
For a less expensive option, you can install your own closet organizing
system from an off-the-shelf kit bought at a home improvement store.
Types of Closet Organizers
Whether you have a large walk-in closet or a smaller reach-in closet, you
can find a closet organizer that will help you get organized and increase
your storage space. Closet organizers are typically either wood or
wire, and are easy for a do-it-yourselfer to install. Wooden closet
organizers look more elegant, but wire organizers tend to be more flexible
and affordable. They also offer more ventilation for your clothes.
Components of a Closet Organizer
Before you buy your closet organizer, you need to decide just what kind of
storage you need. Typical components of a closet organizer include
shelves and shelf dividers, hanging rods at various heights, and special
storage units for accessories such as hats, ties, and shoes. Shelves
may be hung from the wall or be configured as stackable units that sit on
the floor. Hats and ties are typically stored on racks, while shoes
can be stored on racks or in hanging shoe bags. Closet organization
systems may also include various crates, bins, and cubbies for storing
miscellaneous items.
Before selecting your closet organizer components, you should think about
what kind of clothes you have and how you want to store them:
Do you prefer your pants to be hung or folded? Do you have a lot of
scarves or purses you need to store? Do you want a space for storing
seasonal clothing? You want to match your organizer system as much
as possible to the types of clothing and accessories you own. If you
can't find a closet organizer kit that meets your needs, you can buy the
components you want individually and create your own perfect space!
