The biggest problem area in any home is cluttered up closets. Year after year, we gather new and improved clothing to stay with the current trends, meanwhile keeping everything else we own and have not worn in years and in some situations, keeping them for decades. This is where closet organization has to come into play and the best way to do this is with a sound closet organizer system. Now this sounds like a lot of money, but in essence, it can be accomplished for very little money. Start by brainstorming closet organization ideas before you start, so that you are prepared ahead for things you may need to purchase.
If you have the chance to build a home to your specs then chances are you had a closet organizer custom built into the home so this does not become an issue. However even a custom organizer can be overloaded with too much stuff, thus leaving you scratching your head as to where to put things. First things first you need to purge old items of clothing that you have been hanging on since the eighties.
Let us face it, you are not going to wear them again so give them to Goodwill and let the less fortunate benefit from your good deed. Now you are ready to tidy up your closet. If you are overrun with stuff and simply do not have enough room, then look into storage cubes or boxes. These are bins that can be clear or colored if you prefer and you can stack them on a shelf or in the corner of the closet. If the issue is that your closet is too small, consider purchasing additional space, like with portable closets.
If you do not have a bedroom closet organizer and need one for a very low budget then perhaps you could look into hanging closet organizers. This setup lets you organize essentials in a timely fashion while hanging from your existing closet rod. It allows some kind of order in an otherwise cluttered up part of the house. There are compartments for shoes and accessories to help you keep the closet clean. You may even consider getting totes or storage boxes with lids to keep stuff that is out of season stored until needed. This keeps the closet less cluttered, and only seasonal clothes in there, which will keep the look of your closet much neater.
You can also invest in a wire closet organizer, which mounts into the studs of the wall and is typically white coated. These are great for hanging and storing in boxes on the shelf. The best part about the wire organizer is that it is fairly inexpensive and can be purchased at your local Home Depot or Lowes. These are just a few of many how to organize closet tips.
