Almost everyone gets frustrated by the disorganization in their closet from time to time.
Between clothes piling up on the closet floor and lack of space, it’s easy to get overwhelmed.
But with some creative thinking, there are plenty of ways to make your limited storage
space work for you.
Welcome to Jansen's DIY.
In this video we will discuss 22 Super Awesome Closet Organization Ideas to Instantly Double
Your Storage Space.
#1.
Baskets are a great way to store bulky sweaters, off-season items, and accessories such as
hats or scarves.
These baskets also make it easier to organize your closet because you can see what is in
them at a glance.
Baskets that come with handles on the side allow you to easily carry heavy items like
blankets or thick jackets around the house without spilling anything.
The sturdy construction and eye-pleasing colors also make these baskets an attractive addition
to any home.

If you're looking for a way to organize your closet and make it easier to find what you're
looking for, you might want to consider using a rolling cart.
Rolling carts are a great way to store clothes, and they make it easy to move items in and
out of your closet.
However, they might not work well in every situation.
If you have a lot of clothing that needs to be hung up, or if your closet is small or
tight on space, a rolling cart might not be the best option.
In that case, you’re probably better off using shelves or cubbies to store your clothes.
#3.
When you have a lot of clothes that need to be hung up, but not enough room in your closet,
an over-the-door rack is a great alternative.
It's perfect for storing all those dresses and shirts that are too delicate to fold or
hang directly from the hanger rod.
The best part about this solution is that it doesn't take up any space at all because
it hangs from inside an existing door.
All you need to do is put the end with hooks over the top of your door and then hang as
many items from it as you can reasonably fit.
#4.
A box system is perfect for closet organizing because it is versatile and can be customized
to fit your needs.
Adding a box system to your closet will improve both organization and functionality.
By designating specific cubbies and shelves for certain items, you can easily find what
you need and keep your closet looking clean and tidy.
For example, you could use a tall cubby for structured totes, small ones for flat shoes,
and open shelves for folded clothes.
#5.
When organizing your closet, it's important to focus on functional clothes placement in
order to make the most of the space you have.
Clothes that are worn on a regular basis should be stored at eye level, while less frequently
worn items can be stored on higher shelves or in drawers.
Any delicates or meaningful items (like the sweater your mom knit for you) should be stored
on higher shelves, out of reach.
This will help keep your closet organized and make it easier to find what you need.
#6.
When it comes to organizing your closet, one of the most important factors is how to best
store your boots.
Boots are bulky and can take up a lot of space, so it's crucial to find a way to store them
that is both effective and efficient.
One way to do this is to use special hangers specifically designed for boots.
These hangers allow you to hang your boots upright, which helps them keep their shape
and prevents them from becoming creased while also saving on closet floor space.
#7.
Clothing dividers can help you organize your closet and keep track of what clothes you
no longer need.
If you have children, it’s also a great way to check on which items your child has
outgrown.
To create your own clothing dividers, print out a template on cardstock.
Cut out the individual dividers and then use a hole punch to make a hole in the top of
each one.
String a piece of ribbon or twine through the hole and then tie it to your closet rod.
Now, you’ll be able to easily see which clothes you can wear, which ones need to be
washed, and which ones you no longer use.
#8.
Adding a hamper to your closet can help you keep your floor clean and organized.
A built-in hamper is a great way to add storage to your closet, and it can be hidden from
view, so it doesn't make your space look messy.
If you have a lot of clothes, towels or other linens to store, you may want to consider
getting a large hamper.
But if you don't have a lot of space in your closet, you can opt for a smaller hamper that's
divided into two or three compartments.
#9.
If you're looking for an easy way to organize your closet and keep your scarves from becoming
wrinkled, try using shower rings.
Just hang the rings on a clothes rod or a hook, and then slide your scarves through
the rings.
This creates individual holders for each of your scarves, and it’s much easier to take
a scarf off the ring than it would be to take it off a hanger.
#10.
There are a number of ways to organize a closet, and one of the simplest is to make effective
use all of the vertical space.
This can be done by installing a closet system with adjustable shelves, or by using hooks
to hang necklaces, scarves, belts and purses.
This will keep everything within easy reach so you can find what you're looking for quickly.
#11.
One of the best ways to keep everything in order is to hang your favorite accessories
from hooks.
You can hang everything from hats and bags to necklaces and other jewelry.
The hooks will help you to keep these items organized and easy to find.
Additionally, hanging your favorite accessories can be a great way to decorate your space.
You can group items together in neat rows to add a touch of style and color to your
closet.
#12.
One way you can organize your closet is to keep your shoes off the floor with a shoe
rack that will hold all of your shoes and keep them off the floor.
Another way to keep your shoes organized is to purchase cubbies or shelves that hold your
shoes.
You can also organize your shoes by color or activity so you can quickly and easily
find the pair of shoes you need.
#13.
When it comes to closet organizing, one of the easiest and most effective things you
can do is to simply hang up your clothes.
That’s obvious, right?
But what’s not so obvious is that this same principle can be applied to sunglasses.
Not only does this help keep your sunglasses organized and easy to find, but it also saves
space in your closet.

Adding a drawer organizer to your closet is a great way to keep everything organized.
If you’re on a budget, good news: you can make one yourself!
You can use different materials, such as fabric, wood or cardboard, to make your own drawer
organizer.
You can also customize the size and shape of the organizer to fit your needs.
Add more compartments and dividers as needed to create more space for socks or underwear.
#15.
Soda tabs can be used to double the hanging space in your closet when you’re on a budget.
Simply pop off the tab of a favorite soft drink and use it to double up on your hangers,
instantly creating more space to hang clothes.
This quick tip will make finding what you need a breeze and free up some much-needed
space in your closet.
#16.
One great way to utilize fabric bins is to organize your closet with them.
You can place them in your closet to store clothes, accessories, or any other items you
need to keep organized and accessible.
To make your own fabric bins, all you need is some fabric, a sewing machine, scissors,
and thread.

Organizing your closet can be a daunting task, but it's a lot easier when you have some acrylic
holders to help you out.
Acrylic holders are a great way to organize your closet, as they can hold clutches, wallets
and other small items without taking up a lot of space.
To secure the holders to the wall, use Command hooks or Velcro strips.
Not only will this make your closet look neater, but it will also make it easier to find what
you're looking for.
#18.
Closet organizing is all about using every nook and cranny to store your belongings.
This means filling empty shelves with bins, jewelry organizers and labeled baskets.
You can even add smaller fabric bins below clothes rods to store belts and other accessories.
By doing this, you’ll reduce the clutter and save time looking for things.
#19.
Are you a parent with kids and limited closet space?
You can use over-the-door pantry organizers to save major closet space and keep things
tidy.
An organizer like this not only saves space, but it also maximizes your storage potential
by utilizing that extra inch of clearance between the top of the doorframe and the ceiling.
To make it even more organized, you can label the sections, like top shelf for stuffed animals,
middle shelf for board games and bottom shelf for dolls.
#20.
Who doesn’t want a well-organized closet?
The easiest way to make this a fun task is to pick your colors wisely.
For example, choosing all-white hangers makes your closet look super clean.
Using light blue containers adds an element of calm and relaxation, whereas sunshine yellow
bins will add a cheerful mood.
This is a great way to make your closet look amazing and make it a space you can enjoy
looking at every single day.
#21.
If you have trouble keeping up with organizing your closet like I do, here's an idea: hang
purses on hooks!
This will keep them from getting crushed or dirty, and if they’re wet, it allows them
to air dry instead of retaining water and getting mildewy.
It's also a great way to keep track of which bags you’ve used recently and which ones
you haven’t taken out for a while.
Add a few of these to your closet for a cleaner, more organized space!
#22.
There are many ways to organize your closet, but one of the most popular and effective
is double-duty storage.
With this system, you can store shoes on the bottom shelf and use the top shelves for accessories
such as scarves or belts.
This arrangement makes it easier to find what you need quickly because everything is in
one place.
It also maximizes the available space in your closet since there's no wasted floor space
from a clunky shoe rack taking up valuable room!
A well-organized closet can help you feel more in control of your life and your belongings.
When everything has a place, it's easy to find what you need and put it away when you're
done.
