Closet Organization

Just like the laundry room, your closet is a hidden room in your house but one where organization is

incredibly important. Often times we overlook our closets because they are out of sight. When clients

come to us requesting a bedroom renovation, a more organized closet is a frequently-expressed

desire. We can help when it comes to great closet organization solutions; today’s home storage and

organization products are highly customizable. We will discuss your lifestyle, your closet, and your

storage needs to create the perfect fit, whether you have a walk-in or a reach-in closet. Do you need

to reorganize a closet in a room other than your bedroom? We can customize a closet space anywhere

in your home: bedroom, bathroom, kitchen pantry, utility or laundry room, garage, or family/common

room. Stop into our showroom to see examples of how you can create a more organized closet for any

room in your home, but in the meantime, we will share a few tips for what you can do—right now—to

make your closet a more usable space.

1. Purge: Regularly cleaning out your closet is not the most fun task in the world, but there is

hardly a room in your house that will collect clutter faster. Donate items you no longer wear to a

charitable organization and enjoy a tax deduction, too.

2. Hangers & Shoes: Good hangers keep your clothes in great shape, longer. They are a little

more expensive than cheap wire hangers, but the extra mileage you get out of your clothes

is worth it. The right hangers also reduce the amount of ironing you have to do—a real time-

saver. At Cabinets & Designs, we carry a pull-down wardrobe lift, allowing easier access to

hanging clothing. We also have pull-out slack racks to keep your pants in perfect order. When

it comes to shoes, there are many ways to organize. Some people prefer to keep shoes in their

original boxes, others use hanging storage, and still others prefer clear storage bins so they can

quickly see and select the shoe they want. We have a variety of shoe storage options, including

adjustable, angled, and pull-out shoe shelves. We can and have created custom shoe storage

based on exact shoe heights, including flats, heels, and (of course!) cowboy boots.

3. Seasonal Rotation: Stash unused items away when they are out of season. Moving bulky

sweaters and coats out of the way during warm months saves a lot of room, and removing

swimsuits and shorts from the rotation during winter months mean less digging for other base

items you wear year-round, like tank tops and t-shirts.

4. Think small: Belts, ties, socks, cufflinks, jewelry, lingerie, swimwear, hats, scarves, purses—small

items that can end up causing big delays when you have to hunt through your closet to find the

right one. Use hangers, drawers, storage cubes, and wall hooks to keep these items easy-to-find

and within reach. Cabinets & Designs has pull-out tie, belt, and scarf racks; maple and acrylic

drawer dividers for socks and undergarments; jewelry trays are perfect for everything from

bracelets to cufflinks.
