Systems Online for Closets
Unless you've got time to burn, you probably have at least one of those 'mystery closets'. I admit to having two such closets! In case you don't know what we're talking about here, the mystery closet has two major characteristics: you have only a vague idea of what's in it " mainly linens, but who knows what else " and when you open the door, something might fall out.
When you think of cleaning out and organizing your closet, the thought is generally accompanied by a mental groan, followed quickly by thoughts of other organizing or cleaning tasks you'd rather do. By the time you do get around to it, the situation is totally out of control. Now is the time to consider doing the job once and for all. You need a closet organizing system. Once in place, you've got a spot for everything and it's very easy to maintain order.
If you go with the usual sorting of like items on a hanging rod, with similar 'stuff' sorted on the shelves, it's too easy to get back to the cluttered mess you started with in the first place. You get in a hurry, tossing a sweater on a shelf to be folded later, shoes part ways in the 'shoe corner' and you're faced with doing the same task, sooner or later. Searching through the closet for the mate to your favorite pair of shoes is just a waste of time and doesn't do the shoes any good either! Given the relatively small investment involved, you've got to agree that a closet organizing system is the ideal solution.
Before you go shopping for your closet organizing system, measure the available space, leaving an inch or two between each component. Depending on the contents of the closet, decide what really belongs there and weed out the rest. Your objective is to eliminate the clutter in the closet, not simply reorganize everything, whether it belongs there or not! For example, sports equipment or a shoe box of 'important' receipts needs a new home. Sports gear can go in the garage and the shoe box goes to your desk and filing cabinet area " ah, another organizing task.
Most home closets are built in standard sizes and closet organizing systems are built with components that accommodate any size or configuration of closet. For example, if you're working on a clothes closet, closet organizing systems include units for both short and long clothing. Beneath your short closet hanger unit, you've got a perfect spot for a shoe caddy that fits neatly below, with no wasted space. Longer clothes can hang, with enough space for plastic closet organizer boxes to hold sweaters, bedding or linens you use in your bedroom.
Manufacturers of closet organizing systems have thought of everything. You can find rotating racks for belts, ties, scarves and handbags. These are great space savers, freeing up closet space you never knew you had. Another advantage of these closet organizing components is that they are rigid pieces that don't invite tossing a pair of shoes in willy-nilly. Even if you're in a hurry, it's so easy to put things where they belong. The best part is that you never have to do this tedious job again. No more mystery closets. Just neatness and tidiness, every time you open the door. Yes!
