Having a photo-worthy closet may be lovely, and it's possible when you add your own personal touches. What you really want, however, is a functional closet. After all, what's the use in having all the bells and whistles a closet can offer if you can't find a thing to wear? Luckily, there are a few things you can do to be sure that your closet works for you and looks good, too.
- Clear everything out of the closet and make the necessary decisions about what to keep and what to dispose. There are lots of worthy causes that would love to receive your clothing donations to help others in need, and your closet will be filled with only the things you'd love to wear.
- Use the slim, velvet-coated hangers consistently for all hanging items. They look good, keep clothing from slipping, and because they are space-saving, you'll get to sneak in a few more pieces.
- Extender rods and expandable shelf organizers essentially create twice as much space. Take advantage of using over-the door organizers for shoes and accessories also.
- Keep purses and stacks of jeans or sweaters from toppling over with shelf dividers.
- A wall sconce, a mirror, baskets to corral smaller items, and a valet bar are special touches that will give your closet personality.
