You’ll have a beautiful blank canvas to work with after your custom closet is completed when you start to arrange your belongings within. Naturally, you’ll want to arrange each item of clothing so that your new Custom Closet remains as organized as possible. Try the following professional advice to keep clutter at bay so you can make the most of your new closet and maintain a flawlessly arranged collection of stuff.
Use Dividers For Drawers And Shelves
You most likely take care to keep your clothing nice and divided whether you put them in a drawer or stack them on a shelf. The order begins to disintegrate, though, as soon as you start removing items off of shelves and shifting them about or opening, shutting, and searching through drawers. You quickly have a shelf or drawer full of wrinkly and unfolded clothing.
When you need anything from the back, bottom, or side of the shelf or drawer, it might be tough to avoid disrupting your orderly piles. However, the more distance there is between each stack and the one after it, the less noise you’ll make as you use the shelf and drawer space. Use dividers for both shelves and drawers so that each stack has a barrier on each side rather than many stacks that interfere with one another as items are moved around. This keeps the objects more orderly by preventing the various stacks from mixing and by limiting how far each section’s contents may move.
Handy Stepladder
If you’re making the most of the storage space in your custom closet, you’re probably keeping certain things up high and out of reach. To store sweaters, boxes, or blankets instead quickly and conveniently of leaving them in a pile on the floor, have a stepladder nearby. To reach the highest shelves without straining your arms or neck, place a tiny step ladder in a closet corner or on a wall hook.
When possible, Roll Your Clothes
What method of folding conserves the most space so you can make the most storage use of your drawers because they aren’t always as huge or deep as you may like them to be? Compared to hanging or folding, rolling your garments takes up less room. Don’t be concerned; anything that can be safely folded can typically also be safely rolled. There are only a few exceptions, like bras and delicate linen or silk goods.
Rolls may be stored either horizontally or vertically, and they can fit more clothing in a stack and into nooks and crannies where folded goods wouldn’t fit. Rolls kept vertically don’t collapse when one or two things are removed, unlike systems that are folded vertically, also known as “file folding,” which tends to do so. When you leave on vacation or relocate, your rolled-up garments will be ready to be packed up neatly.
Keep Shoes Behind The Door
Utilize the space on the back of your door to store shoes and organize them in your affordable custom closets. Most shoe racks hang comfortably over your rear door and can free up room on your shelves and closet floor. For space-saving purposes and to aid in organizing your closet, we advise utilizing a hanging shoe organizer.
You may store your other accessories, such as jewelry, makeup, and hair tools, in a shoe organizer. Utilize your creativity and many pockets to your advantage. However, we advise you to reduce the amount of your shoe collection before you begin organizing. Throw out outdated pairs, give away ones you don’t wear, and save the ones you wear all the time. They will take up less room since you will have less to store.
Have A Solution For Storage
You may save all the emotional objects you don’t wear but wish to keep because they are special in one box. You shouldn’t hang these items in your closet with the clothes you wear. It’s time to go with some of the less emotional items if there isn’t a place in that sentimental box for fresh additions.
Create An Accessories Plan
Accessories come in a wide variety of sizes and forms, necessitating a custom storage system to hold everything. If your dressing space is your closet, set up a tiny vanity with a mirror as a makeshift grooming station. Your morning dressing process will be made easier by a jewelry tree or jewelry box.
Another option for storing jewelry is in drawer organizers if you feel more comfortable keeping things hidden. Small clutches fit wonderfully in shoe cubbies, and purses may be hung up neatly on hooks and hangers. Put seasonal accessories like hats, gloves, and scarves in containers with lids. Walk-in closet organizing using adhesive storage labels speeds up searches.
Do Not Clutter Up Your Closet Doors
Although it might seem like a no-brainer closet storage solution, using the back of your closet doors for additional storage has disadvantages. Theoretically, those hanging shoe organizers that hang above doors appear to be a useful storage solution. However, they make opening your closet doors more difficult and heavier. They don’t seem attractive either. Since mesh seldom has a highly fashionable appearance.
Additionally, some of these organizers are ineffective in keeping your shoes firmly in place. When you constantly have to put your shoes back where they belong, it might harm them and become a hassle. Don’t overdo it with the hooks on the back of your closet doors, though.
Keep, Toss, And Donate
It’s time to play the “keep, toss, or donate” game, so get your bags ready. Put on the outfits and footwear that still make you happy. Put such items in your keep pile if they fit and you feel good wearing them. Uncertain about a few things? When making decisions, consider the following questions:
- Do these things exhibit my fashion sense?
- When should I wear them?
- Would I purchase this in a shop today?
- Do I adore these shoes or these clothes?
Put anything with rips, holes, or other irreparable damage in the trash. Put any gently used children’s clothing and shoes into a donation bag. Take the goods you have chosen to donate to a donation center as soon as you have searched through all of your closets and made your decision.
Make A Plan To Be Used While Hanging And Storing Goods
It’s crucial to know what kind of clothing you have and where it makes the most sense to hang it before putting any of it on a hanger or a rod. For appropriate hanging, longer skirts and pants require extra height. However, you may utilize the space behind shorter items like shirts and blouses by adding a level of hanging clothing or by creating bespoke shelves. For a sense of consistency, use hangers in the same design throughout. Additionally, the closet now appears much tidier and more organized. Put your jeans on hangers designed for this purpose to prevent creases and wrinkles. Organize the same type of clothes in one place.
Pants, shirts, blouses, belts, and even scarves should all have a specific place in the closet. All fragile items should be hung. Folded and piled on shelves or in cubbies is the ideal way to store heavier goods like sweaters or jeans. Folding sweaters prevent shoulder bulges from a hangar, helping them keep their form. To prevent crushing and wrinkling of the folded goods, be careful not to pile too many folded items onto a shelf. This also applies to your hanging garments. When hanging clothing, give it enough room so that it may breathe after use. Avoid hanging or stacking things like corduroy or velvet close to ones that shed.
Bring The Light In
Dim light tends to make a closet appear disorganized or unattractive. If you’re remodeling your closet, think about switching out the lighting. Your closet will seem bright, tidy, and organized if you add light with floor lamps, table lamps, or pendant lights.
Spend Money On High-Quality Hangers
It’s worthwhile to invest in good designs since at least part of your clothing will stay on the hangar for longer than they do on you, protecting them from damage and mishaps. Your garments will remain in place on sleek, non-slip velvet hangers, which also have the advantage of taking up less room than bulky wood or plastic hangers. A multi-layer hanger allows you to elegantly double up on items so you can hang more in a smaller space without it seeming cluttered if you’re running out of hanging space.
Choose Storage Boxes That Meet Your Needs For Organizing
Consider your container choices when you arrange your high end custom closets. In certain closets, stacking objects one atop the other and on a shelf may be sufficient to properly arrange your belongings. For instance, blankets and towels are typically placed right on the shelf.
On the other hand, if you use containers for other objects, organizing may prove to be a lot simpler. You may organize comparable goods into baskets and boxes to make it simpler to find what you’re looking for. You may need boxes for scarves, hats, belts, gloves, and other accessories while organizing your clothing closet, for instance. You might want baskets to contain your rags or your bottles of cleaning materials if your linen closet also houses your cleaning supplies. Additionally, you might want to include boxes for things like art supplies or sentimental objects. Photos and picture albums that are generally stored in the closet may be included.
Choose containers that are reliable and useful. In addition, “pretty” is a plus, especially if you have an open closet design. But before selecting the container for your closet, you should verify the durability of each one. In a well-organized closet, a highly practical, long-lasting container will be more likely to endure the test of time.
Use the Area Below Hanging Clothes
If you do want to maintain the single rod, you might want to think about putting a small cabinet or shelf unit between the clothing hanger and your shirts to make room for extra baskets and shoes. Small accessories that could otherwise be overlooked among your closet organizing ideas can also be stored in this area. Even if the area underneath your hanging rods is limited, you may add a small shelf or shoe rack near the floor to provide additional room.
