Different Types of Closet Organizers
If you have ever tried to hang some freshly ironed clothes in your closet and found that there was just no room, then it is probably time to organize your closet. Closet organizers are ingenious arrangements of shelving and hanging systems designed to give you much more storage space without your clothes getting creased and rumpled.
Most of these closet organizing devices tend to be affordable as well as easy to put in, and also there are many various products in the marketplace geared to just about all needs.
Before you decide on any particular type of closet organization systems it is a good idea to sort through your closet and maybe have a clear out. Remove every item you are never likely to want again and bag up all your unwanted things to give to charity or even hold a garage sale. Once you have cleared out any unwanted items you will have a better idea of the organization system you will need.
You will want to take into account the quantity of clothing that needs to be stored on hangers and whether it is all short items like shirts and pants folded over; or whether there are any longer items like evening dresses. Decide whether you need to store shoes in your closet as well or is it to be exclusively for clothing.
There are some very fine closet organizers on the market made from wood that are not only efficient but also look attractive. A John Lewis Home closet shelving system in Red Mahogany, is a standard 12 inch depth, and could solve all your closet storage needs. However, this is not a cheap system and will cost around $300 to over $500 depending on the components wanted. A far less costly, but just as efficient system is one by Rubbermaid – their titanium colored Deluxe Custom Closet Kit comprises everything you need for an average sized closet and costs less than $160 including shipping from Amazon.
Many closet organization systems include drawers to give a tidier look to the interior of your closet. Alternatively they may have storage compartments or pockets. Decide in advance the type and size of items you will be keeping in the storage pockets. Larger pockets tend to be more suitable for holding footwear, whilst smaller pockets are best suited to accessories. It is possible, in most custom systems, to incorporate a simple footwear rack should you need additional shoe storage. If you don’t wish to store your shoes in the closet a simple over-door shoe rack will keep your footwear collection neatly put away and off the floor.
If you are used to an old-fashioned closet with just a single clothing rod to hang all of your clothing, plus maybe a few drawers with storage boxes for smaller items, a well designed closet organization system could literally change your life. A system containing enough shelves, plenty of hanging room as well as including what ever required add-ons fit the bill such as footwear holders, drawers, belt hangers and accessory storage pockets, all the mess is going to be removed and your closet organizing will be complete.
