You have a lot of clothes but limited closet space? No matter how big your wardrobe is, you always feel like there’s not enough room to store everything.
But you don’t need to buy a new closet or expand your space, you just need some organizing tricks to make the most of your closet space. Say goodbye to the jumbled mess of clothes in your closet.
Use thin, matching hangers
A set of thin, matching hangers not only makes your closet look more stylish but also helps save space by keeping the clothes closer together, allowing more room for other items in the closet.
Distribute hanging space for long and short clothes
Instead of folding skirts and dresses, arrange the hanging space to cater to different lengths. For shorter items, you can add an additional rod underneath for shorter hems. This way, you’ll be able to find the desired piece easily and without sacrificing too much space in the closet.
Store seasonal items in lower compartments
Keep those seasonal items like swimsuits for summer and hats, gloves for winter in baskets or lower compartments. When the season changes, you can easily bring up the basket for that season and move down the previous season’s basket.
Use hanging jewelry organizers
If you don’t have a separate drawer for jewelry, you can purchase a hanging jewelry organizer with multiple compartments to store small items like rings, earrings, and bracelets. You can also use these organizers for storing socks and underwear instead of using a separate drawer for them.
Make use of office accessories
Folders, compartmentalized zip bags, and other office accessories can be repurposed to store small items like scarves, belts, and ties, instead of using a separate drawer for them.
Maximize every inch of space
Utilize the small corners near the closet by hanging hooks or adding shelves to store items like hats, scarves, and necklaces.
Invest in over-the-door storage bags
If you have bulky items that are hard to fold, like scarves, belts, or thin blankets, you can purchase over-the-door storage bags or organizers with hooks. This will provide additional space and keep these items neatly stored.
Extend the hanging rod
Maximize your closet’s vertical space by requesting a higher hanging rod to create extra space underneath for additional items.
Allocate one section for bags
Save a dedicated section for bags and purses within easy reach. It’s best to store them upright to maintain their shape.
Hang scarves creatively
If you don’t like putting scarves in hanging organizers, you can create a unique storage solution by adding hooks to the closet door or near the closet wall to hang your scarf collection.
Hang large bags on the closet door
Large bags can take up a lot of space in your closet. You can hang them on the closet door using hooks or hangers. For lesser-used bags, you can also utilize them as storage for small items like swimsuits, sunglasses, or wallets.
Embrace storage boxes
There’s always a lot of miscellaneous items that you’re not sure how to organize or hang. This is where storage boxes come in handy to tidy up and store those miscellaneous items.
Utilize the top space
Many people overlook the usage of the top space in the closet. You can create additional compartments or shelves in this area to store less frequently used items.
Store sweaters in storage boxes
Use baskets, boxes, plastic containers, or even create your own boxes from discarded cardboard boxes to store sweaters. This is the best way to keep these bulky items neat and tidy.
Get a clothes rack
If you still need more hanging space, install a clothes rack in any available corner of the room to create additional hanging space.
Use wallpaper
A small wardrobe doesn’t have to be boring and plain. Make your wardrobe space more interesting and personal with the use of wallpaper on the empty spaces.
Remember, these are just some ideas to help you make the most of your small wardrobe space. You can mix and match these tips to create a customized solution that works best for your specific needs.
