You do not want to spend hours looking for a pair of socks or that lipstick you love, right? A beautifully designed and well-organized closet improves your bedroom look and provides adequate storage space for all your clothes, shoes and accessories. You are probably wondering how you can improve your closet to resemble that classy one you saw in a magazine. Follow this home improvements tips:
Invest In Storage Units
Choose the kind of storage unit that best suits your closet size and the items you have. From hanging, to using a drawer, basket or shelves, the market today has a lot of options to offer. Wire drawer units are great and can be stacked to occupy minimal space. What is more, you will have no problem setting your eyes on everything inside the wire drawer. The design in this case allows maximum air circulation. It’s along the same lines that you can use drawers or filing cabinets to store extra items. Even so, ensure that you label all closed-in storage units.
Utilize All Available Space
Check inside your closet for any unused vertical space. You might notice some space between the top shelf and the ceiling, or perhaps there is unused space below your hanging rail. Purchase several shelves to cover the top space and invest in additional hanging trails. Shift the existing trail upwards and fix the new trail below it for extra hanging space. The back of your closet door can also provide storage space. Hang a transparent bag with several pockets and store some of your accessories or other items there. You might also notice that there is a small space between the wall and the shelves where you can place a wire hanging shelf unit or hooks.
Change the Door
If your closet door seems like it has seen better days, it is time for a door change. A plain door is okay, but does not add any interest or character to your closet or even the entire bedroom. For instance, you can choose a French door that has glass panels and pair it with vibrant colour shades. Curtain panels are classy and also add some privacy. In case your closet has swinging doors, replacing them with modern sliding doors to create space for more bedroom furniture is ideal.
Tidy and Organize Your Closet
Tidying and organizing your closest is the easiest and sure way of creating more space in your closet. Remove everything from the closet and arrange it in different piles. Items used frequently, those used occasionally, and things that should not be in the closet as well as things not used should all be separated. The second step is to group the items in an ideal manner. For instance, you might choose to hang your dresses and fold your trousers. Proper organization allows you to quickly pick items even when time is not on your side.
Store the less frequently used items in cardboard boxes or plastic storage bins and label them. It would be a good idea to place the storage units on the top shelves in your wardrobe. If that does not work, you can create more space outside the closet or add an extra closet for the less frequently used items.
Maintain Cleanliness
Cleanliness is mandatory for every closet; otherwise, dust will build up, and mould or dew will damage your clothes. Replace the worn-out carpet with a better option. You can try vinyl or wood which are easier to clean and maintain. Carpet stores moisture and dust thus not the best option. Ensure your closet is well-ventilated to prevent mildew or mould.
As you can see, revamping your closest isn’t as hard. It’s now time for you to make it happen!
