Installing A Closet Organizer On A Budget

One rod and one shelf is typically what most closets consist of these days. Combine that with smaller closet sizes in newer homes and you aren't really left with much space to store and hang your clothes. By adding a closet organizer to your closets, you not only keep your clothes neat and organized but you also increase what storage space you have by sometimes double. This is especially important when your closets are extra small.

Unfortunately, having a closet company come to your house and install closet organizers in all the rooms (or even just the master closet) is not really in everyone's budget. The good news is, you can have well organized and efficient closets in your whole house by purchasing closet organizer kits. And they don't have to cost you an arm and a leg.

Need more tips? Here are a few to help you to have an organized closet:

Tiered Hangers

Instead of hangers with only one horizontal bar to hold your slacks or pants, try three- or five-tiered hangers. These hangers really help to maximize space and keep your pants from wrinkling.

Extra Hanging Rod

A hanging rod is simply an additional (often shorter) rod that hangs from your existing rod from a hook on each end. They multiply your hanging space instantly.

Specialized Shoe Racks

There are a lot of shoe rack options available to add to your closet. An inexpensive way to organize your shoes is to add a hanging pocket shoe organizer. These pocket organizers come with hooks on the top so all you need to do is hang them on one of your rods.

Make more room available in your closet, if possible, by taking out clothes that aren't in season anymore or that you seldom use. Storage sheds or plastic bins that are put out in the garage are perfect places to store most of these items.

You should be able to shop online and find the right organizer for your needs and any accessories to have fully organized closets in your home and not break your budget to do so.
