The home is often a troublesome place to keep clean and that is never more evident than in the closet. Closets are the nemesis for most homeowners but it is mostly due to the fact that there simply isn’t enough room for everything. Unless you custom built your home to your specs chances are your closet just doesn’t cut it. This is where closet organizers can help you in a big way. I have a mediocre sized house nothing fancy with small walk in closets that consist of nothing more than a rod and shelf. Most closets have this setup but there is so much more closet organization to be done by implementing a closet organizer system.

Closet systems make the best use of what little closet space is available. Shelving, rods, storage cubes and drawers can all help tidy up a closet by giving certain items a designated area. If you have a small walk in closet then walk in closet organizers can make make use of walls and floor space. For example a Rubbermaid or ClosetMaid closet system can give you wire or metal shelving additions with hanging options as well. Going vertical in a closet is always a good idea to help get things off the floor and help store seasonal items.

Storage cubes or bins can store bulky items that take up hanging space on a rod. Fill a storage bin and label it then store it up on shelving. Use storage racks for shoes or hanging storage bags if your shoe collection is modest. Over the door shoe storage is great for hiding and storing shoes. Companies like IKEA have excellent choices for shoes and other small items. They have Skubb hanging organizers that will house shoes, folded clothing and accessories or personal items. An Ikea closet organizer is great for being able to utilize every square inch of closet space. They are designed to accommodate and size closet with various sized closet tools.

If you have trouble deciding where to start go to Rubbermaid or ClosetMaid online and make use of their interactive closet design tool. It will allow you to put in your closet dimensions and decide on the appropriate system should you want a do it yourself setup. If you have an IKEA storage close by then take down the dimensions of your closet front to back and top to bottom and go to IKEA. All of IKEA’s products dimensions are listed on the label so you know immediately what will fit into your closet and how much space it will consume.
