Closet Storage & Organization

What closet storage systems can create more space?

Shelving systems
Closet shelving creates storage space and provides an easy solution to keep items tidy and within reach. Consider the following options for your closet:

· Freestanding shelving units that can be rearranged as needed. Look for sturdy metal or wood shelves in a variety of sizes.

· Wall-mounted shelving to maximize floor space. Floating shelves attach directly to wall studs for a custom built-in look.

· Storage drawers placed under hanging rods or on the floor of a walk-in closet. Drawers keep smaller items contained and organized.

Hanging rods

Closet rods, installed either wall to wall or down the centre of a closet, instantly free up more space. Double hanging rods are ideal for smaller closets as they double your hanging space. Single rods can hold more weight and are better for larger closets.

How to organize my closet of clothes and shoes?

Organize your closet in a flash with these quick tips:

· Group similar items together. Create a designated area for shirts, pants, dresses or skirts, accessories and shoes.

· Use matching hangers. Choose high-quality hangers that properly support your garments.

· Add shelving. Use shelving for folded items like t-shirts, jeans and workout clothes. Shelving also provides space for baskets to store accessories like socks and belts.

· Keep seasonal items separate. Designate one area of your closet for seasonal or infrequently used clothing and shoes. Pack these items in labelled boxes and place them on higher shelves to free up space.
