Do you need to organize your closets? Do you spend long periods of time trying to find something? I don’t mean spend long periods of time deciding, I mean actually looking. Are your closets so full that you can’t move a hanger one inch? Is the floor covered too? If you’ve answered yes then it’s time to organize your closet. The closet in my youngest son’s room used to be so full of baby clothes that I couldn’t find anything. It took us two days to empty it, clean it and organize it and now it’s not a nightmare to go into it.

So. Start by cleaning your closet. Get rid of things that don’t fit or that you don’t wear. Then put some time and thought into what type of organization system would work best for you. Might it be another bar to hand things on? Might it be some shelves? Might it be something hanging on the door? Do your research on what works and what holds up well. Another factor to consider is installation – who does it and what does it cost? Then do some comparison shopping before you make your purchase. Remember, not everyone needs a closet organization system. There are also ways to organize inexpensively yourself, without purchasing a storage system, but I’m saving that for another post.
