<\/a>Seasonal Clothes Storage ideas. Keep them out of closet!<\/p><\/div>\n
3. Now that you’ve decided how to store your seasonal items, it’s time to decide how to store the rest of your belongings in your closet. Think about all your items in compartments such as belts, shoes, hung clothes, folded clothes, scarfs, purses and accessories.\u00a0Some of these solutions can happen outside of the closet!\u00a0Here are some more creative storage solutions to consider when planning out your closet:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Modify a wooden hanger to hold your belts (or buy a belt hanger). This one allows you to keep it consistent with your other closet hangers: Belt Hanger<\/a>.<\/li>\n
- Use shoe organizers to hold leggings, stockings or anything else you need space for. (Tip from Better Homes and Garden<\/a>)<\/li>\n
- Utilize shower curtain hangers to hold your jewelry on a towel rod or use them to hang your scarves on a hanger!<\/li>\n

4. Add Shelving and\/or clothing racks. \u00a0If you are reading this post, you need them!<\/p>\n
- \n
- Hung items:<\/strong> The best way to plan for clothing racks is to determine how many long items you have (Dresses, long skirts and winter coats), and how many shorter items you have (pant, shirts, skirts, etc…). Then measure the longest of each of these groups to determine the minimum spacing required between racks. If you plan on putting shelving above the lower racks, then allow space for items to be placed on the shelves without interfering with the hung clothes above.<\/li>\n
- Folded Items:\u00a0<\/strong>First consider whether you have room for a dresser or cabinets in the closet. If not, you will probably need to add some shelving. When spacing the shelving, think about how many items you can reasonably stack on top of each other without them toppling over. If you plan on stacking too many items high on one shelf, you are opening yourself up for a messy closet after the first time you need the item on the bottom!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Below are a few closet arrangements that may work for you: (I threw in a good one for kids closets too!)<\/p>\n
