An Expert Explains the Best Way to Organize Your Closet (from House Digest)

Key points include:

• Closet Sizes & Organization Needs: Older homes typically have small walk-in closets (around 3x3 feet), while newer homes may feature larger closets (up to 12x12 feet with an island). Larger spaces allow for more customized organization.
• Essential Closet Components: According to Kirsten Fisher, a certified professional organizer, an ideal closet should include: Short-hang sections for shirts, blouses, skirts, and pants. Long-hang sections for dresses and coats. Dedicated shoe storage. Shelving and drawers for accessories and folded items.
• Optimizing Hanging Space: Use double-hang rods to maximize space, placing tops on the upper rod and pants/skirts on the lower rod. Limit long-hang space to necessary items and repurpose extra space for shoe storage or drawers.
• Shoe Storage Solutions: Avoid placing shoes directly on the floor to prevent clutter. Use stacking shelves, over-the-door storage bags, or boxed storage for better organization. Store flat shoes in compact spaces while reserving special storage for heels and boots.
