It’s one of the most popular home organization questions I get asked. What is the best way to organize a closet? Trust me, I get it because in my lifetime I’ve had closets of varying sizes – ones with wire shelves, ones with hard to reach areas, walk-in closets, standard closets with sliding doors or just one door. You name it, I feel like I’ve had to organize it. So today I’m sharing some of the best items to use when organizing a closet that should work across the board, no matter the size.
Favorite Finds for Closet Organization
Velvet Hangers
These take up less room than plastic or wooden hangers so you can fit more in the space and they look better, too.
Sliding Rack
Take advantage of the depth in a closet with shelves. These pull out to easily access clothing items.
S Hooks
Perfect if you have more hanging space than drawer or shelf space. A great way to hang pants to see them lined up in a row. Also good for bags, ties, and scarves.
Back of the Door Organizer
Gain space anywhere you can, like the back of the door. With this you can store accessories or use on the door of a linen closet or pantry.
Valet Rod
Easy to install on the side of a shelf or wall. A valet rod isn’t so much for organization but it’s great for extra hanging storage when sitting out outfits or for steaming them.
Over the Door Hanger
An alternative to the valet rod, this gives extra hanging storage.
Shelf Dividers
Place these on shelves to separate items by type or to help give structure if lining up shirts or towels and sheets in a linen closet.
Sheet Organizers
The best way to store bed sheets in a linen closet if you don’t want to store them loose on a shelf.
2 Pack of Bins
You can’t go wrong with bins for placing on shelves and storing clothing, bedding, towels or miscellaneous items to keep them hidden.
Rolly Hanger
Love this for hanging bags, hats, scraves and more. It rotates 360 degrees so you can easily access items in the middle without having to remove all the items in the front or back.
Storage Rack
Perfect for additional shoe or bin storage. Place on the floor under hanging clothes.
Hanging Bag Organizer
Have more hanging space than shelf space? This is perfect for hanging bags.
Shoe Bins
Another option for additional shoe storage that you can stack on shelves or on the floor.
Clear Handbag Organizers
Love these for storing bags on a shelf or on the floor. The door opens out so it’s easy to access contents inside without removing bins or items stacked on top.
