Optimizing apartment closet space includes utilizing storage solutions like baskets and shelves.
No matter what size apartment you have, chances are you wouldn’t turn down the opportunity for more closet space. While Beechtree Apartment homes have walk-in closets suitable for housing your favorite clothing and accessories, closets are always a home space that can fill up faster than expected. The change of season is a great time to sort through your closets and make space for the future. So, as you start fall cleaning and making space for your end-of-year sweaters and boots, remember these tips for optimizing your apartment closet space.
Start with a Closet Purge
What takes up space in your closet but doesn’t need to be there? Take out old sports team jerseys, ill-fitting clothing, and broken shoes. Truly sentimental items can be stored away somewhere more special. Otherwise, you can remove items and sort them into throw-away or donation piles (only donate items in good condition). You can also remove hangers or boxes that went with those items.
Store Seasonal Items Elsewhere
Be intentional with your closet space. Keep clothes for the current season hanging up there so you can find what you need. You can remove off-season clothing and store them in protective, well-labeled bins under the bed or on top shelves so they stay out of your way.
Get Organizers
Use bins or baskets to optimize your apartment closet space. These bins can collect smaller items like belts, scarves, and hats. Adding hanging organizer shelves attached to your closet rod with hooks can also provide extra storage and keep sweaters or extra linens tidy.
Utilize the Closet Doors
A simple shoe organizer hanging on the inside of a closet door can provide you with easy access to shoes and more. These cubbies can also hold toiletries, makeup, small linens, and any other small accessories you want easy access to.
Add Storage Under Hanging Clothes
In walk-in closets, you can use lots of floor space to your advantage. One way to optimize apartment closet space is to add storage beneath hanging clothes. Place a low dresser or shoe rack on the floor of your closet. Or, you can place bins of seasonal clothing on the floor if they are too large for the shelves.
Use the Right Hangers
Switching out bulky, mismatched hangers for thinner velvet options can optimize your closet space and help your closet look neater and more uniform. Plus, the velvet grips clothing much better, so you can prevent shirts and dresses from falling off the hangers and piling up on the floor.
Move Everyday Items Out of Your Closet
If you have space near your front door, consider placing a shoe rack or coat rack there for accessibility to your everyday items. This will free up more space in your closet and allow easy access to those items you’re always looking for when leaving your apartment.
