Are you ready for week 3 of our organizing challenge? This week is closets! I have to say one of my favorite things in the world is an organized closet. I love having everything in it’s place and knowing right where to find what I need. Even though everything in a closet is behind closed doors I still like having it neat and tidy. What about you? Have you been organizing your closets?
I haven’t had the money to update our closets with new systems so I do the best with what I have. I know a lot of you are in the same boat so I hope this will give you some ideas. I have used these Closetmaid shelves in many homes and like them because I can change them around and move them anytime I like. Just make sure to secure them to the wall. I also like to use bins and baskets on the shelves to keep things corralled. My #1 tip to keeping closets organized is to purge regularly. If you’re short on space always think vertical.
I also like to use the doors for storage whenever possible. Over-the-door shoe organizers are one of my very favorite organizing tools. And apparently I like hooks too. I love the ones I added to the inside of Zach’s closet.
If you don’t need a closet for what it was intended, turn it into something else. Our coat closet was teeny tiny and wasn’t being used well, so we built a mudroom (that I will share with you later) and turned the coat closet into a movie closet. Hubby built the shelves and I painted. It took a day and about $25.
What do you do if you don’t have a linen closet? I have 3 bathrooms and not 1 linen closet. A woman did not design this house! Here are some ideas if you don’t have a linen closet like me. I also store guest towels in a basket in my laundry room.
