15 Closet Organization Ideas That’ll Change the Game

Shelf dividers are a game-changer for closet organization. If you have a long shelf installed, you can use them to section off areas for purses, tops, pants, etc. so they all don’t run into each other and become a jumbled mess.

One idea for increasing storage is to purchase a new unit. This wardrobe has a home for hanging clothes, shoes, and accessories, plus two drawers. And because it looks so sleek, it’ll fit in with your existing closet or bedroom with ease.

Let’s not forget about the chaos that happens inside closet drawers. These organizers let you separate your intimates, socks, ties, and more so you’re not constantly sifting through a stack of all these little items.

If you like to hang your pants in the closet, it may make sense to pick up a few of these tiered hangers. They use less space overall, and you can even take it one step further and organize each hanger by type of pant.

Anyone who has a smaller closet may need to get creative with additional organization options. A rolling system can be a smart choice, as it gives you options to rearrange where it lives or even hide it away at a moment’s notice.

It can be hard to know what clothes you have for the current season when everything is mixed in together. Consider storing your off-season items in stackable bins that you can store either on your shelves or elsewhere in the home. These have clear windows, which is great for when you need to locate something quickly.

Few things are more unruly to store than shoes. They’re all different shapes and sizes and can’t really be stacked, so oftentimes they end up covering the closet floor. These clear boxes make it easy to spot every pair, and they keep your collection looking impressive.

They don’t necessarily have to be velvet, but having the same type of hanger in your closet can go a long way in making the whole space feel more streamlined. You’ll be surprised at the difference!

You could also organize your hanging clothes by type. You can write on these colorful dividers so you know where one section ends and another begins.

There will always be a leftover pile of stuff you just don’t know what to do with. That’s where fabric bins come in handy—they can house those extras and still not take away from the clean and decluttered look.

Don’t underestimate a good corner! In a closet, you could use this shelf to house oddly shaped items like hats, special shoes you may want to display, the fabric bins mentioned earlier, and more.

Belts, ties, and scarves are difficult to corral. This hanger calms the chaos and helps you see what you have so you can grab your accessory and go.

A garment rack can be a very helpful way to organize your daily routine. Instead of sifting through everything you own in the mornings, you can lay out outfits ahead of time. (This is great for kids, too!) If you live in a smaller space, racks can house bulky items like coats or sweatshirts.

You need a place for your dirty clothes besides the floor. Upgrade your hamper to one that not only looks nice but even has two sections so you can separate your clothes either by person or type.

Hats! What to do with all the hats. Consider using the wall as a storage opportunity and a chance to show off the favorites of the bunch. In a kids’ room, this could even double as fun wall art.
