Friday’s Game Plan: Closet Overhaul

Everyday Life Featured Home

My closet never seems to have enough space for all of my things! This weekend I plan to get it under control by making a few key purchases. The following items are on my list to help me makeover my closet!

1. Velvet Hangers serve two purposes, for one they are a great space saver. Uniform hangers allow for more space within the closet. Secondly they keep my clothes from slipping off.

2. Handbag organizer – I came across this unique organizer, which helps preserve the shape of handbags! You can also use this organizer for linens or towels. www.bedbathandbeyond.com

3. Sweater Organizer – this organizer adjusts to your closet dimensions. You can use the shelves to store jeans, sweaters, and other garments. It also has four stretchy side pockets for storing belts, scarves, and other small accessories. www.bedbathandbeyond.com

4. Underbed Storage Bags – these work great for storing items you don’t need at the moment. They protect sweaters, off-season clothes, linens, and bedding.

I’m looking for other suggestions, what are some of your favorite closet products?

Great article. I’m a London (UK)-based stylist. I use a lot of these clear shoe boxes when I’m doing wardrobe weeds for clients: http://www.lakeland.co.uk/shoe-storage-boxes/F/product/8615?src=gpsto&sq=lakeland%20shoe%20boxes

Also, I’ve installed some lovely chrome bathroom towel knobs – the long thin rectangular ones with lots of pegs from DIY shops. I’ve drilled those into the wardrobe, sometimes on the inside of the door, so you can hang accessories like necklaces and beads. Then they’re accessible. See them, wear them! If they’re jumbled up in a shoe box under your bed, you won’t get them out.

I sort clothes by occasion, once the sartorial white noise has been weeded out. Then I group the occasions by colour, so it’s easy to put looks together.

A few bits to chew on there. Thanks for the great post!

Warm wishes, Mandy

Hi Mandy, thank you so much for your comments and ideas! I love the clear shoe box and the bathroom towel knobs. I’m definitely going to give that a try! Thank you!

I use Huggable Hangers (now available at Target). They are like the velvet hangers-they save space, look nice and nothing slips off!
