Custom closet organizers help you separate your closet space according to what kind of clothes and accessories you have, and most importantly, according to the space.  When you are a person with many shoes, you may need more space for them. Or, if you are a person with many t-shirts, you may prefer more drawers.  The best part about designing a custom solution is that you can tailor it to exactly fit your own needs and lifestyle.

My Spouse also Needs to Use the Closet, How do We Split It?

If you happen to share a closet with your spouse, a custom organizer may be the best choice for you. You can design your closet to split the space depending on each of your specific needs.

Because you are the designer, if your spouse has few shoes and many shirts, you can design it so that the shoes and drawers are on your side and the long spaces to hang the shirts and jackets for your spouse are on the other side.  This way, you won’t be stuck in the situation where your clothes are mixed together.

A custom closet organizer also can have many smaller shelves for purses and other accessories.  You can go to your local hardware depot or even order them online.  It’s worth the investment so that you can save time and stop rummaging through your closet and making things a mess!

Organizing your Closet Doesn’t Have to Take a Long Time

To avoid these stressful moments, all it takes is a little bit of time to keep your closet organized especially when you have a closet organizer to help you separate and organize your clothes together.   If you don’t have a system like this, don’t worry – you can create a simple system yourselves.  It’s easy to determine where and how you to categorize your clothes. For example, jackets could always go on the right side of the closet.  Shirts can hang in the middle of your closet.  Pants can be hung on the far left.

Some people may be lucky and have a closet that has two racks, one on top, and one on the bottom.  This should be easier for you to organize, since you can hang your jackets and shirts on the top rack, and overlap your pants hanging on the bottom rack.  If there are drawers within your closet, this would be a perfect place to put your socks and undergarments – in different drawers, of course.  It’s always best to maximize the space you have in your closet by putting similar things in the same category, or same location.

Using a Closet Organizer to Store your Shoes

Shoes take up a lot of space and my crowd your closet unnecessarily.  Sometimes people have closets that have shoe storage already built in.  However, most people will find that this space is just not enough for their collection of shoes.  If this is the case, many department stores, (even IKEA) sell simple closet organizer racks or cloth shoe racks that hang either inside your closet or behind the closet door.  Usually these racks will have several slots to put your shoes in.

If you still have too many shoes that fit, it’s better to categorize your shoes by the seasons.  If it’s summer, store all your winter boots into a box and leave them in the garage.  When winter comes around, start storing your summer shoes in the box.  This way, you save a lot of wasted storage space on clothes or shoes you won’t even be wearing for the next several months.  The best thing about this is that you only need to do it twice a year.
