Let us quickly check the tips and tricks of organizing a small closet:
Purge the closet: Do a thorough cleaning of the closet and decide the clothes that need to go inside the shelf and that can be donated. Then start organizing the things in the closet strategically.
Hang the rod higher: Hanging rod at a higher level helps in hanging the longer clothes from dragging on the floor but also free up space for second row of clothing.
Add storage under clothes: Often when we hang the clothes inside the closet, there will be some space left blank in the bottom. Utilize this space to keep the boxes of small clothes.
Get Shelf Dividers: Use shelf dividers as they are really helpful to store items that we don’t want to hang up such as sweater that stretch out if it is hung in a hanger. Roll them up in the basket and place the basket neatly in the shelf.
Wicker baskets: Stack storage baskets to store jewellery, accessories, smaller clothes, bags and more. Storing the things in the baskets makes the closet look neat without clutter.
Hang accessories: Use shower hooks to hang the purse and bags on the hanger rod. Use the ring hooks to hang the scarves, ties and belts.
Utilize the doors: Hang the bags, jewellery and other accessories in the door using hooks instead of leaving the space unused.
Organizing shoes: The idea to fit more shoes in the shelf – is by positioning each shoe facing in opposite direction. Try cubes to help keep the shoes tidy.
Sliding Doors: if the room is too small to have bigger closet, install a closet with sliding doors that don’t need too much space for the doors to open. This is a great space saver especially in tight corners.
Wall shelf: Use multi layered wall shelf to store the extra clothes. The shelf can be done easily at home using wooden planks and ropes. Brackets also can be used to store extra place to hang things.
Use small wall to save space: Instead of hanging scarves, belts and similar accessories on the hanger in the closet, attach a towel bar on the smaller wall to hang the accessories.
Get a Clothing Rack: If the tiny closet is already full with no additional space, bring a clothing rack as lifesaver. It will help in hanging the clothes that can be easily pulled out even during busy morning hours.
Use coat rack: Like the clothes rack, using a coat rack that takes just the corner space of the room is also a better idea to hang the clothes when the closet runs out of space. Bulkier items like coats if hung neatly in a coat rack saves space in the closet.
Get creative: There are a lot of DIY storage ideas. Like, hang a branch on empty wall to hang purse, bags or hangers to hang clothes. Or use PVC pipes to build clothes rack.
Create a jewellery wall: Create a jewellery wall hanger to store the jewellery in style. Customize the jewellery hangers as per your collection.
