Stop Closing the Door on Your Closet
There’s one area of your house that - we’d argue - gets the most use, but the least amount of love: your closets.
Whether it’s a front hall or bedroom closet, our closets are the keepers of “the stuff,” & because we can literally shut the door on them, they’re one of the last places in the house we think about organizing.
When it comes to your closets the goal is simple: if the door was ever left open, people would find an organized & visually appealing space.
Here are our go-to fixes to spruce up any closet:
start by switching out your bulky hangers for the non-slip suit hangers from The Container Store. The design of these hangers not only keep your clothes from slipping off, but they allow you to fit even more in your closet.
add cute forms of storage, like the rectangular Montauk basket or the Artisan Rattan Cane bin with a bin clip & label, to keep smaller items like gloves, hats, belts, even purses, categorized & contained. Depending on the size of your closet or the type of closet - think coat vs. bedroom - you can designate a basket to each member of your family & avoid the “have you seen my _________?” conversation.
shoe storage always seems to be our clients’ biggest problem, so depending on the closet, we have several shoe storage solutions. If you have the vertical height in your closet we recommend a clear shoe box with a drop down top. These can be stacked on top of one another making your closet not organized, but visually appealing. If you’re not into the acrylic look or really want your shoes to shine in your closet, we suggest using the Marie Kondo Shoji Slatted Wood Shoe Rack.
if you’re looking to elevate your primary closet to a boutique feel, we highly recommend calling us, but if that’s not in your budget, think about displaying your key pieces like purses with an acrylic easel stand from Amazon or your jewelry with the beautiful stacker line from The Container Store.
feeling like your closet needs more than product? Maybe your closet is in need of a major overhaul. If that’s the case, we suggest an Elfa system! Elfa is an affordable & beautiful closet design that will completely transform the space. From pull out drawers, to melamine tops in a wide range of colors to shelving galore, your options are endless with Elfa.
The possibilities are infinite when it comes to organizing your closet! Don’t let your closets continue to be the catchall areas of your home. They deserve to be organized, too!
