Nothing brings on a desire to organize the closets like a change in the seasons does. When you have to dig through everything in search of your favorite sweater or fall jacket, and still fail to find it, you begin to realize that it may be time to put some real effort into your closet. The good news is that there are plenty of tools out there to help you.
You can use whole closet systems to organize your closet space so everything is easy to find in a timely manner, or you can pick and choose between closet cabinets, closet organizers and a whole new closet design. There are plenty of options available, no matter which route you decide to take.
Your closet space should fit your needs, so the way you organize your child's closet may not be the same way you organize your own. You need more room for longer, larger clothes, while he or she may need more room for smaller items and accessories that you simply do not use. The first thing you need to do is go through your closet to find out what kind of space you need, taking into account room for jackets, sweaters, and even larger footwear items such as winter boots.
Once you decide on how much space you need in order to put your clothes away, consider all the shoes you own.
If you don't own a lot of shoes, you may not want to use smaller closet storage systems that include multiple shelves for shoes. However, if you plan to keep a lot of other items in your closet, you may find those shelves to be helpful.
You will also need overhead shelving to hold some of the boxes and other items you store in your closet. Essentially, what you want is to open the closet door and find that all of your items are easily accessible and there is no wasted space. Fall makes the perfect time to make this happen because you are already sorting the closet to get ready for the colder seasons that are just around the corner.
