Tips For Closet Makeovers

Merging two lives into one closet can seem like an enormous challenge, but with a few tricks, you can give your closet an effortless “his and her” organizational makeover. This video by TheNestTV provides nine tips for creating a well-organized closet:

1. Divide and conquer: Create boundaries and separate your clothes by using rods or decorative beads or drapes.

2. Be creative with floor space: Try adding baskets or drawer organizers for holding everyday items. Put them in a spot where you can slide them in and out easily.

3. Make room for boxes: Use overhead space to store off-season items. Set up some cute-patterned containers and label them “His”, “Hers” and “Ours”. Make sure to measure your space to ensure the boxes fit.

4. Claim your space: Use slim padded colored hangers. Establish an open middle shelving unit for items you use on a daily basis.

5. Shoe solutions: See-through shoe drawers are a great solution for creating more storage. A silver shoe wheel can hold about 30 pairs of shoes and is compact enough to be tucked away in the corner.

6. Use empty wall space: Add an expanding coat rack at eye level to store your handbags.

7. To have and to fold: You can save a lot of space by folding your shirts the right way. You can cheat by using a split laundry folder.

8. Color your closet: Color coordination provides instant order. Separate tops and bottoms, sort your prints, and then arrange by hue.

9. Eco organize: Go green by using sustainable bamboo hangers, a cedar shoe rack, or a recyclable hamper made from leftover flip flops.
