Whether you have new tools, new clothes or something in between you have to find a place for it.
So once you have sorted out, thrown out or recycled the old items you know it's time to organize the space you do have.
Many closets/storage spaces just need to make better use of the space that they already have, so you will probably be able to store your items by reorganizing current closet space.
For instance in an older design closet you typically have a single bar for clothes with a shelf or 2 on the top for other items.
Dividing this same closet to have shirts, and pants one over the other in one half of the closet and adding a shoe rack in the middle will help to get your clothing organized. Having longer items such as dresses, overalls and robes on the other side will not only allow for more storage space, it will also save you time by being able to more easily find your clothes.
Shirts and pants will be less wrinkled. Having shoes at eye level can make getting dressed an easier task since you don't have to hunt for your shoes from the bottom of the closet.
Teaching Your Child Responsibility With Kids Closet Organizer
0 comments Posted by ariya at 2/21/2012If you're like most, you may think that your child's room simply doesn't have enough closet space. Often these are reach-in closets (as opposed to the larger walk-in closets) that contain only a rod and shelf. Unless you are able to knock out walls to increase the size of your kid's closet (not an option for the majority of parents), you need to look for another solution.
The solution to this problem is frequently as simple as adding an organizing system to your child's closet. Many organizers have the potential to actually double the amount of usable storage space.
You can buy a kids closet organizer at home improvement stores such as Lowe's and Home Depot in addition to selected larger discount department stores such as Walmart. You can usually purchase whole kits as well as individual components. Before purchasing any closet organizing items, be sure to carefully measure the size of your child's closet and evaluate you and your child's closet organization goals.
Closet organizing systems come in different materials and styles.g. plastic coated wire, laminates, and solid wood. In addition, you can add components such as shelves, drawers, shoe racks, and baskets to better suit your storage requirements and budget.
Due to its affordability, perhaps the most popular organizing option for a kid's closet is the wire style. Wire systems are usually composed of open lattice type shelves and metal brackets. They also let your child quickly and effortlessly find items in their closet, a good feature if you or your child is pressed for time.
To keep your children in the process of organizing their closet, you should be sure to include him or her in the planning and installation of their closet organizing system. Permitting your child to take an active role in the preparation and installation processes can be a worthy learning experience. They are more apt to be happy with the eventual outcome and will actually make use of, and therefore benefit from, their newly organized closet for possibly years to come. Your child can still take part in the design, even if you hire someone to do the installation.
It might be a slight exaggeration to state that regaining control of your closet can be a life changing event. Nevertheless, the benefits that can be realized, especially when it comes to a kids closet organizer, can be tremendous. After working on your child's closet, if you haven't already done so, you will probably want to start work on organizing your own closet.

But when you have the right type of storage for your closet, you'll be able to find your clothing fast, dress in just the outfit you want, and start the day feeling confident.
TIP: Replicate a Pro Inexpensively
In fact, there are so many storage organizer options for closets that it's a bit overwhelming for the average person.
One great tip is to hire a professional organizer for only a day who'll probably be familiar with all the options. Have the consultant do only one closet or room for you, then replicate the design throughout the rest of your home yourself.
In the meantime, if it's beyond your budget to hire an organizer or to have a custom closet overhaul, here are some ideas which will enable you to find your clothes in a flash.
Organization: Only What You See is What You Can Select
Before you begin, though, it's a good idea to wipe things clean with a damp cloth and vacuum to give you and the closet a fresh start!
Perhaps the quickest way to free up some space and improve storage for closets is to organize your items by design. For example, some people organize their clothing into work, casual and dress. When you can easily locate and select from all the clothes you own, you can start your day looking and feeling more confident.
At any rate, set up a system for organizing your clothing that works for your lifestyle. Do you have specific articles of clothing that are essential for your business? Give these items their very own section in the closet.
Whatever makes sense for you and your lifestyle will work. You can create your own divisions, such as pants on one side, slacks separate from jeans and so forth. Another idea which takes a little time to set up is to organize by outfit ensemble, for example, a business suit and the blouses that go with it.
Shelves as Super Organizers
Do you have room in your closet for installed shelves? Certain clothing items do much better folded and placed on shelves or in drawers. A couple of simple shelves along the back wall will give you added organizational options for storage. This could be a good place for shoes, pajamas or anything else that needs to lay flat.
What's So Good About an Organized Closet?
Right about now you may be wondering why you want to go through the hassle of organizing and decluttering the closet. For starters, you'll feel much better, not only about your home but about yourself. Conquering clutter will give you a strong sense of accomplishment plus provide a relaxing atmosphere.
Again, you'll always look and feel your best when clothing and accessories are easy to put your hands on. No more tossing blouse after blouse on the bed trying to find the one you know is in there somewhere.
Final Thoughts: Custom Closets
If you have the budget to hire a company, a custom-built or renovated closet can be a dream come true. With adequate lighting, multiple bars, drawers and shelving for every conceivable use, the closet can become your favorite room in the house.
Prices vary: For example, California Closets company is expensive, while Easy closets allows you to design and install your own to save 40%-60%, if you wish.
Labels: Closets, Guidelines, Storage
First, it is important to declutter the closet if it has been awhile since this chore has been done. I like to take everything out of the closet and go through each and every item. Getting rid of coats that have been out grown or are worn out, cleaning out the old scarves and mittens, and going through all the odds and ends that end up in the closet can greatly increase your storage space and make the space neat and organized. While everything is out of the closet is a great time for a good, heavy-duty washing down of the space. Any good cleaner will do, or even hot, soapy water. It is amazing at how good the closet smells when you get done!
I like to take baskets to organize items. Put gloves, scarves, and other miscellaneous winter wear in one basket to help keep these items together and organized. Putting like items together ensures finding matches quickly. It saves precious time while everyone is trying to get out of the house. Baskets, such as these, fit perfectly on the shelves. Shoe racks on the floor of the closet are great for holding all of the winter boots and shoes. These two items alone help to keep the closet neat, tidy, and organized.
If you have small children in the home, hanging hooks low in the closet on the wall helps them learn how to be organized themselves. Instead of them throwing their coats on the floor, and someone else coming along behind them and picking up their stuff, they learn how to neatly put things away. Backpacks are easy to keep track of this way too. When the kids need to retrieve something out of their pack, it is within easy reach and they are self-sufficient.
Once you get your closet cleaned out, it is easy to maintain. The hardest part is training everyone in the family to help out. But even if you are the ony one in the family taking care of the closet, these time-saving tips will help you out tremendously. Being able to find things quickly and easily makes my day go much smoother. It is my belief that home organization is the same as keeping life simple.

Closet Makeover: Organizing Tips for Bedroom Closets, Clothing and Accessories
0 comments Posted by ariya at 12/01/2011Then it's time to reclaim your closets and convert that overstuffed space into usable storage.
Declutter Closets First
If you have a whole room to clean up, start with the closets first. The things in your storage spaces often haven't been touched in a long time. You may even have forgotten you even have them. You're much less likely to feel an emotional connection to them than you are to things you use more often.
Make room for the things you're using now by getting rid of some of the old, unused items from your closets.
Clearing out bedroom closets can be an especially helpful step in gaining emotional freedom from your clutter. Why? Because the clothing, shoes, and accessories found in bedroom closets can carry a big emotional charge, especially for women. It can be emotionally freeing to weed through your personal things and keep only the ones you really need.
Why Are Your Closets Packed with Things You Don't Use?
You may be keeping clothes you don't wear in your closet for lots of different reasons. Some of the most common ones:
It's out of style.
You need to have it cleaned, altered, or repaired.
You don't like the color any more.
It doesn't fit any more.
You don't like the way you feel when you wear it.
It doesn't fit with the things you like to do now. (This is a frequent occurrence for women who leave the professional world to stay home with children. Their business clothes don't fit the new life of driving the carpool or going to the playground.)
You have so many of that item (shoes, sweaters, black dresses, jeans, etc.) that you just never pick this one to wear. If you have multiples of a certain kind of clothing, here's your chance to keep only your favorites and find new homes for the ones you don't like as well.
It's a gift from someone special, but you never liked it much. It won't do anyone any good hanging in your closet or stuffed in a drawer. Acknowledge the good intention behind the gift, then regift it to someone who will really enjoy it.
How to Let Go of Unused Clothes
It can be useful to take a good look at why your closets are full of things you don't use or enjoy. Take a few minutes to look through your closet. As you pick up each item, ask yourself, "How long has it been since I wore this?" If you haven't worn a piece of clothing for several years, it's highly unlikely that you're ever going to wear it again. Then why are you keeping it?
People have a number of reasons for holding onto clothes that they haven't been wearing and aren't likely to wear in the future. Here are some common ones:
They were expensive, and you don't want that money to go to waste. Often that is true. It's also true that keeping clothes you don't use doesn't bring the money back. What if you freed up the physical and mental space those clothes occupy for things you want to use today? You can sell clothes that are in good condition at a resale shop. The truth is that most used clothing isn't worth much. Donate them to charity and you'll get a tax deduction and can move on with your life.
You plan to wear them after you go back to work or lose some weight. But in fact, you're not going to want to wear old, out-of-fashion clothes You'll want to show off your new figure with stylish new clothes. You'll have the same reaction if you go back to work after staying at home for a while. Fashions and office trends change. The clothes that worked for you in your last work situation probably won't make you feel your best when you go back to work.
These clothes bring back memories you want to hold on to. This is a great reason to keep a few special items. But just keep a few, not every single item from those times.
All these reasons for keeping old things share a focus on the future or the past, not the present day. Getting rid of unworn clothes can mean giving up the person you used to be before your life changed. It also means letting go of dreams you may have had for your future, dreams you cherished before your life took a different turn. Giving up old dreams is the way you open the way for the real you to live your best life in the here and now. Sometimes that's hard. It's important to admit to yourself and respect exactly what you've let go.
Give Yourself Permission to Grieve
When you give up your collection of stiletto heels, your size 6 wardrobe, your old hunting clothes, or your corporate suits, you're acknowledging an important change in your life. Sometimes those changes hurt. Allowing yourself to feel the sadness, anger or regret helps you prepare for the real adventure: living your life for today.

Though it can be difficult to find gaps in a busy schedule to organize a closet, the end result is well worth the time invested. An entire weekend may be needed in order to complete this project. The payoff for doing this will certainly be worth giving up your social life for a couple of days. Imagine flinging your closet doors open and immediately seeing everything from accessories for your head to your shoe collection, and everything in-between. Picture how wonderful it would be not have to pull everything out making a huge mess in the process to clean up later, just to find one particular clothing item or accent piece.
It is time to stop dreaming about it and to start making an organized closet a reality. This may seem like a daunting task with a mountain of disorganization from your closet seemingly taunting you. Fear not though, you can do this! A good first step is taking a good look at the current setup of your closet. You want to make sure that your closet features storage capabilities designed to encourage organization, draws on every inch of closet space available, and that is handy for you to use.
After inspecting your closet, you may have discovered that it is lacking in some needed items for organizing. Items such as hanger extensions, adjustable shelves, hooks, a shoe or sock caddy, bins, baskets, stackable boxes, floor or hanging racks, can provide the appropriate configuration to organize your belongings. You cannot expect to organize a closet and keep it that way unless everything has a specific space provided for it within your closet.
Once you have taken care of equipping your closet with various storage features, you can begin using these space savers and organizational products to help organize your closet. This should make it easier to keep it that way once you get everything into place.
Generally speaking, clothes occupy the majority of the space in any closet. Optimize the use of your closet space for hanging and folding your clothing. Extension hangers that can accommodate the hanging of several pairs of dress slacks or jeans on a single hanger are great closet organizers. Hangers made for attaching an additional hanger to them permit you to hang two shirts in the space previously only housing one shirt.
You do not have to hang all of your clothing in your closet. You can in fact store more clothes and find them with less hassle by folding some of your clothes versus hanging them up. Of course, you may want to give priority-hanging space to work and special occasion apparel to reduce the chances of wrinkling them. However, folding your causal clothes for storage will not hurt them, and makes more room for your more dressy clothes. Some shirts may wrinkle when folded, while other clothing is wrinkle-resistant. Does a wrinkle in the comfortable clothes you wear around the house matter all that much? Will anyone really care or even notice wrinkles in the shirt you wear while tending to your garden? Probably not, but considerations such as these can help you make logical decisions for storing your clothes.
Whether a sweater is for casual or formal wear, professionals recommend you always folding sweaters instead of placing them on hangers in your closet to help them retain their shape and to last longer. Sweaters can be bulky when folded. It is best to store them on an open shelf. However, they also fit nicely in sweater bins to be stored on a closet shelf or on the floor.
Another way to organize your closet is to fold and place seasonal clothing in plastic containers to prevent insect invasions, and store those containers on very high closet shelves when not in use. This frees up eye-level space for hanging and folding clothing that you wear every day, or that is in season for quick and easy locating.
The best way to keep your closet organized after a spring closet cleaning or organizing spurt is to remember to put things back in their place after laundering, or should you grab something to wear and change your mind. It only takes seconds for the roots of disorganization to begin growing. One blouse tossed aside in favor of a trendy t-shirt instead of put back in place will soon have other shirts joining it to wreak havoc on your closet organization. Thinning your wardrobe annually and donating unused clothing to charity also goes a long ways towards helping your closet to stay organized.
Now that you have an organized closet, open the doors and see how refreshing organization in your closet looks and feels. You may decide that the rest of the house could benefit from some organization too.

Lavender is a mild sachet scent option that works great and has been used for centuries for just this purpose, in order to keep closets and other methods of storage fresh. People have been utilizing the mildly sweet and soothing scent of lavender to refresh body, soul, and mind for many years, and it works great in small tight places or large open ones. Because the smell is mild and disperses quickly in a breeze, it is a good option for those who get headaches that are triggered by scent.
Pine is also a very common scent choice, but it can be overwhelming if you are not careful with the brand name that you choose. For those who want a pine scented sachet in the closet to keep things smelling fresh, be sure to choose a name brand instead of a store brand. Cheap imitations often overpower the entire space in pine, and it can saturate everything inside just as heavily as the musty stale odor you are trying to avoid. No scent is a good one if it is overwhelming.
Floral scent sachets have waned in popularity, but milder scents are becoming trendy again as new ideas are introduced that are less overwhelming. Although the name implies a wonderful walk through your flower garden, most floral scents more closely resemble those cans of bathroom freshener that we all avoid in the grocery store. Be wary of any scent that you cannot first smell for yourself, and consider a different selection if the scent seems strong at first. In cases like this, it is better to make a different choice than to be bowled over by the smell of cheap flowers later; and if you discover that the scent is acceptable later, sachets are very easy to swap out.
More modern ideas such as charcoal make a lot of sense if you want freshness without scent in your sachet. It may sound odd at first, but charcoal seems to soak up the scent without dispersing its own scent, meaning that you eliminate staleness and mustiness without adding any other scent. People with medical problems such as chronic illnesses made worse by scent, frequent headaches, allergy problems, and similar issues can choose to keep the closet fresh by using a charcoal sachet that neutralizes the odor. Charcoal is also a very eco-friendly idea, especially when combined with environmentally friendly packaging such as a bamboo sachet pillow or closet hanger.
Get Organized With Custom Closets and Bathroom Storage Units
0 comments Posted by ariya at 6/28/2011Have you ever heard the phrase "band aid for a bullet wound"? That's basically what cleaning is: a stopgap. You're picking up your items, folding them, putting them into drawers, but without closet organizer systems to keep you in check, you're eventually going to wind up with the same old mess on your hands. Getting organized allows you to break the cycle.
For example, let's suppose you pull clothes out of your hamper to separate the lights from the darks. You only have room for one load of laundry at the time, leaving a pile of darks (or lights) all over the floor. And then something good comes on TV, and your best friend calls you on the phone, and suddenly that second load doesn't seem so important. It just stays on the floor. For days.
Sound familiar?
Fortunately, laundry problems are very simple to fix - all you need is a wicker laundry hamper with sorting capabilities. A laundry sorter hamper will have separate compartments for lights and darks, allowing you to organize as you go instead of every once in a while when you decide to do laundry. Some of these wicker laundry hamper products even come with three or four compartments for other categories of clothing, like delicates.
Speaking of clothes, let's talk about closets. The phrase "custom closets" might sound expensive, but this is only describing customization that you can do yourself using closet organizer systems. You can buy a system with various configurations of shelves, drawers, and hangers, then move the different components around to perfectly fit your space. Whether you have a walk in closet or a teensy enclosure, you'll be able to find something that fits, since closet organizer systems come in all shapes and sizes.
To compliment your closet organizer systems, consider investing in some new closet hangers as well. You probably have a hodgepodge of cheap plastic hangers from clothing stores and bargain bins, but it's possible to upgrade to closet hangers that will help keep your clothes wrinkle free — they might even help you fit more in your closet!
There's one important room we can't forget, and that's the bathroom. Like closet organizer systems, bathroom storage units can help prevent clutter by assigning a place for all of your items. Some bathroom storage units are designed to hold your shampoo and body wash in the shower, while others can keep your hair dryer or curling iron in a safe, dry place. Alternatively, people looking for a major storage upgrade should check out larger bathroom storage units like cabinets and shelves.
Unlike closet organizers, a shoe closet is more than just a bunch of boxes glued together to make a shoe cubby. I have nothing against shoe cubbies, mind you. They can be a practical, inexpensive and functional addition for closet or bedroom. But nothing beats a nice piece of furniture. I'm not talking custom cabinets, here - that can be a very expensive proposition. However, there are alternatives that can stills be attractive amenities to your home.
Shoe closets are available in a plethora of styles, types, and finishes. There's sure to be one that appeals to you and that coordinates with your existing decor.
The bench types are functional and attractively upholstered with a shoe cubby in the base. They come in a variety of cushion patterns and colors, and materials including leather. I love their versatility. Because they come in a range of widths, they can easily be incorporated at the foot of just about any bed without taking up precious wall space. They're just as functional in a walk-in closet as they are in an entryway. Some even have sock drawers located just below the bench cushion.
There are also bench styles with drawers that pivot forward, just like the freestanding types with the same style drawer. (Those come in single to triple high units in various furniture styles and finishes. Most are "assembly required", so have a handyman ready if you're not good at following directions or handling a screwdriver.)
If you can't deal with neatly placing matching pairs of shoes on a shelf that folds into the bench, perhaps a basket type unit would suit you better. Multiple baskets that slide in and out of the base under the cushion(s) seem to work well for reforming slobs and training children, (ie. husbands and kids - sometimes indistinguishable from one another.) Each one gets their own basket and all they have to do is toss in their shoes. It may take a bit longer to find a pair, and you can't be picky about the bottoms of shoes touching the tops of others, but it's better than tripping over them as you walk through the front door.
For those with extra wall space, the double door type cabinets with built-in shoe cubby are a beautiful addition to your bedroom ensemble. You can get these in single door widths, too, but obviously, those don't hold as many shoes. Both widths are available with sock drawers above the shoe cabinet. For an organization junky, this is the coup de'tat: shoes and socks in the same place!
Of the myriad of choices in shoe closets, there is sure to be one that will turn out to be the best buy you've made since those purple Prada's were on sale at Neiman Marcus. Okay, so you get your shoes at Payless - you'll still wonder how you ever got along without this awesomely practical and totally cool looking piece of furniture.

Ordering anything online can be a little scary, and ordering a custom product can be even more challenging. Here are a few suggestions to make ordering custom closets online a little easier and more secure.
1. Get familiar with your closet layout. Take exact measurements of each wall including the height of each wall. If the ceiling height varies in your closet, determine exactly where the change occurs. For wall widths, take measurements at both the floor level and at the highest level you can reach, and if you want to be extra careful take measurements mid-way. You'll want to use the smallest of these measurements when designing your closet, since this is the most restrictive dimension.
2. Make a simple sketch of your closet using a heavy lead pencil or pen and notate the measurements of each wall. You don't necessarily need to make your sketch to scale, but that would help you understand the potential of your closet.
3. Now that you have a sketch of your closet's layout start thinking about a logical floor plan. When designing your floor plan be realistic about the size of your space and any obstacles in your closet. Most people tend to over design a closet space in a effort to maximize storage area. Don't make a plan that blocks a door from swinging completely open or would create a cramped space. Better to move items to another storage area than create a tight and difficult closet. Remember that hanging clothes need at least 24 inches of depth and the minimum shelf depth for folded clothes is 12 inches.
4. When you have your closet floor plan finished begin assessing what type of articles you need to store in your closet and how much space you need for each type. Most people need more space for hanging clothes followed by folded clothes, shoes, purses and dirty laundry respectively. Determine if you want to have drawers in your closet and how many you need. Having drawers in your closet can free-up additional space in your bedroom.
5. Now that you have a rough ideal what you are going to store and how you are going to store it, it's time to create your closet design. The best way to do that is to find an online design program that can can design your closet to-scale. Several closet companies have online design programs geared to their individual products. Some of these online programs are very complicated and take some time to learn, but there are also some easy to use programs.
6. You need to design your closet one wall at a time. However, you also need to consider how the designs on each wall will meet at the corners, in walk-in closets. Some online design programs don't connect closets at the corners because of style of the product they offer. It's better to use companies that offer closet systems that utilize all of your closet space including the corners. After you find a program that you like start designing.
7. Some professional designer tips:
Try to create a balanced and visually appealing design. You're investing your time and money, be sure you like the finished product.
Locate drawers at the center of your closet design, directly across from the door so they are the first thing you see when entering the closet. Drawers make a good visual focal point and they typically need the extra clearance provided by the central location.
Use the corners for hanging space not shelves. Corner shelves are sometimes too deep and clothes get lost, but corners work well for hanging clothes.
Don't underestimate how much space you require for hanging clothes, and don't plan too much area for long hanging. With today's fashions most people don't need more than 12 to 24 horizontal inches of long hanging space.
8. Now that you have the perfect closet design let's talk about the products available online.
The Material- Almost all of the online closet companies use particle board with a melamine laminate veneer finish. Particle board is a very versatile and inexpensive material primarily used for the manufacture of low-end furniture. Unfortunately, particle board can also be brittle and vulnerable to moisture. The only company currently offering an alternative material is Speedy closets. These components are constructed using MDF (medium density fiberboard) over a real wood frame. This is the same type of system used for the doors in your home. The system is very strong and highly resistant to moisture. All online closet companies use a melamine veneer as the surface material. Keep in mind the quality of melamine varies from the paper thin stuff you see on the cheap furniture from big box retailers, to high impact resistant melamine that looks and feels like real wood.
Closet Systems- Most of the online closet companies offer very similar style closet systems. These systems are usually held together using plastic fasteners and are hung on the wall like a kitchen cabinet without doors and the shelves are typically adjustable. The disadvantage to adjustable shelves are the hundreds of unattractive holes that line the interior of the closet sides. High quality custom closets never have numerous visible holes on the surface. Speedy Closets offers a floor based closet system with no visible holes lining the interior of sides and the highest quality melamine veneer online.
Price - Be sure you are getting an acceptable quality for the price of your closet. Compare the price from at least two online companies for similar closets systems. Be sure that you are also comparing similar quality products. While price is important, make sure the final product will be acceptable to you. Conversely, if you don't plan on staying in your present residence for long, perhaps you don't need to be concerned about the durability of particle board or wall hung closet systems. However, if you are concerned about aesthetics and quality of your closet system, be sure to do your research on the materials and style of closet you want.
Installation - Installing a closet can be a difficult and time consuming task even for someone handy with tools. If you have large closets you could find yourself sorting literally hundred of parts and spending days assembling your system. However, there are several companies that offer pre-assembled closets at no additional cost. With pre-assembled closets you can install your system in a fraction of the time and usually without any power equipment. Regardless of which type of system you order, always secure your closet to the wall using the hardware provided with the kit.With these insider tips you should be better equipped to order your custom closet online.

Custom Closets Can Quickly Eliminate Clutter and Organize Your Closets
0 comments Posted by ariya at 4/26/2011People who live in older homes can often become frustrated with their closet spaces since previous generations simply didn't use closets the way we do nowadays. For one thing the closets in older houses tend to lack depth and be quite small. Also there is usually only one pole for hangers and maybe a few hooks. Trying to fit all of your belongings, shoes, coats, hats, and clothes into the tiny space, let alone organizing it usually is a disastrous experience. Custom closets are extremely popular because they offer a solution to the frustration of crammed, messy closet spaces. With just a bit of planning and small cash investment you can easily and very quickly de-clutter your closets and create organized, easily accessible closet spaces.
Custom organizing closets didn't become popular until the early 1980's. They actually owe their popularity to a few companies who created their businesses around the idea that using a different method for how people stored the items in their closets could make their closets much more efficient and easy to use. Based on the success of these companies many other business ventures, both large and small have hopped on board to offer homeowners a ton of closet service choices to choose from. In addition, a number of other companies have opted to focus on the do-it-yourself type homeowners with a wide array of ideas, tools and accessories to revitalize their cluttered closet to a model of organized storage use.
Companies that specialize in organizing closet spaces generally provide closet system design. Using their services is easy. You just schedule an appointment for a free in home consult. When the consultant arrives at your home they will measure your closet spaces, inventory the items you wish to store there and discuss any other needs you may have regarding your closet. After reviewing this data they will then recommend a system they think will give you the best closet for your needs.
Before you call for your custom closets free in home consultation, you need to take a few actions to prep for the meeting. If you're like most people, there are many things in your closet that you no longer need. There's simply no reason to pay money just to store items you're never going to use. If you remove all the unnecessary stuff that has piled up in your closet it will save you time and money on your new closet system. Remove anything you don't absolutely love or haven't used in a year or more. You will probably have a few things that have sentimental value that you'll want to keep - like your wedding dress. No matter how old it is, it is okay to keep it. Just think about whether it really needs to be in the closet. Perhaps it can be boxed and stored in a different location. Now when the consultant arrives they will only be taking an inventory of what you really need to store and have easy access to. Custom closet organizers provide a really good service; but there are also a number of companies have developed products that let you do the job yourself. If you have a really small closet or limited storage needs, it could be smarter to consider completing the project yourself. If you're fairly handy you could easily complete a closet rehab project with very little expense.
With a bigger closet, it will probably be best to have a pro do the installation for you so know it is done right the first time. A professional installer will give you a complete closet transformation. You will get the closets of your dreams with no real effort required from you. A pro can overhaul your entire system from the bifold closet doors to the very tiniest detail. Commonly added organizational items include things like shoe racks, pull out drawers for sweaters and socks, shelving units, and tiered clothing hangers.
The cost for custom closets vary widely. Pricing can range from several hundred dollars to several thousand depending on the size of your closet and the features you choose to have installed. Before signing any type of agreement for the sale, make sure you ask these critical questions:
• Is there a warranty provided with your service?
• Will you be using plastic or metal hardware?
• What is the depth of the shelves?
• Will the price of installation include getting rid of the old closet?
• Is paint touch ups and dry wall if needed included in the job?
Once you have selected the right plan and features it is time to get started. If this is going to be a do-it yourself job, you will need to set aside a weekend for properly completing the installation. If you're having your new closet professionally installed, you simply need to schedule the install date. It's best to schedule the project for a day when you can be home to answer questions if needed.
After the project is completed, it is time to take a step back and soak in the beauty of your new closet. Now everything in there has a place, and even better, everything is in its place.

The thought of closet organizing makes most people groan. But it doesn't need to be this way! Starting with a messy closets, you can get that closet organized and keep it organized in just 5 minutes a day.
Set a timer and let's get started!
-- Day 1.
Your first 5 minutes will be devoted to staring at the contents of your closet. With pen and paper in hand, jot down what items you haven't used in years (be honest). You will be throwing or giving these items away. If you can't bear to toss an item, give some thought as to where the item could go for a new home and a new life.
When your timer goes off, stop. Put the pen and paper on the closet floor and close the door. You'll be back tomorrow.
-- Tomorrow is here!
Continue your closet organizing adventure. Go to your closet and pick up your pen and paper. Keep on creating your list of what in your closet you can get rid of and what items need to find a new home. Use as many 5 minute sessions as necessary on this step. Feel like you're not getting anywhere? Nonsense! This step makes all the difference down the road when you are maintaining your organized closet.
Simply stated, it will be A LOT easier to keep your closet organized when it only contains what you truly use and is not being used as your personal archive. (In fact, it will probably help you if you can designate one closet or space in your home as a storage container for all those items you need seasonally or for keepsakes. Things you only access occasionally.)
In addition, doing this one step over several days will give you a chance to really think about those items you have collected over the years. You'll find you're ready to give or throw away things on Day 5 that you couldn't bear to part with on Day 1.
-- The next step to your closet organizing.
Once you have completed the list of unnecessary items in your closet, grab a couple of boxes and your timer. Set your 5 minutes and, using your list, toss the trash in the trash box and the give-away items in the give-away box. If this takes you more than 5 minutes, stop and continue tomorrow. This step will go fairly quickly, however, if you've done a thorough job with your list from Day 1.
-- Moving right along.
Now that all the excess stuff is gone from your closet, you can get down to organizing what is left. Use your 5 minutes to genuinely study what's remaining in your closet.
* Which items do you use everyday?
* Which items can be stored together?
* Which items can be stored on shelves?
* Which items can be stored in drawers?
* Which items should be put in bins?
* Which items simply don't belong in this closet?
Take notes during this step and use as many 5 minutes as you need. Again, doing this over several days gives you time to consider how you use each item in your closet each day and what type of organizational system will make the most sense for you. You're aiming for usability here and it may take a bit of trial and error. That's fine because the end result will be a closet you can easily keep organized without even thinking about it.
-- Time to organize your closet.
Using your notes from the previous step, get the supplies you need to organize your closet. Again, take your time with this step, noting what is working and what is not along the way. Tweak as necessary.
* Need more hangars, bins, baskets? Put them on your shopping list for next time you go to the discount store.
* For starters, use whatever organizing supplies you already have including old boxes. It can help to live with your ideas for a week or two to enable you to understand exactly the type of organizing supplies that will serve you the best, so feel free to use temporary containers while you're at this stage of your closet organizing project.
* OR...if you're unsure about sizes and shapes of organizing products, buy just a few samples, leave the tags on and try them out. Then return what you don't need and purchase what you do.
This step can either be completed as part of your normal shopping (requiring no extra trip to the store and keeping within the 5 minute concept) or simply dive in and do one big shopping trip. Your choice.
-- Live with it.
There's no substitute for living with your organizing to see what you've accomplished and what you need to change. Use your 5-minutes-a-day to ask yourself what you like and don't like about your newly organized closet. Take notes and make changes.
-- Last step.
This is the maintenance step and it's easier than you think. For your closet organizing enterprise to give you the results you want, you'll need to take 5 minutes each day and put things away in your closet where they belong.
But beware. Skip this step for just 7 days and you'll need to put in 35 minutes to get back on track. Maybe you don't have 35 minutes to organize your closet, so you don't do it. It won't be long before your closet will be in chaos again and you're using EXTRA time every day just to locate items that should be at your fingertips.
That's right, you're going to use the time anyway. Being disorganized is a huge time waster. So stick to your 5 minutes a day, no matter what. It won't be long until your new habit becomes second nature and you can't imagine NOT doing a quick tidy-up each day.
All it takes is 5 minutes.
How to organize a walk in closet is not the easiest thing in the world to learn. First thing you have to do is acknowledge that you did it. You achieved the American dream of owning a large enough home that your closets can be big enough to house all of your clothing, shoes, hats, purses, sweaters, jackets and more. This is a major accomplishment in itself and should be celebrated.
Ok, now that we have that out of the way, let's realize that there is much work ahead of us because obviously, this walk in closet doesn't have enough room for you to operate or else you wouldn't be here reading this article, would you? No, you would not, you would be sitting on that big deck in the back enjoying a mojito and the sun set if it was enough space. But since, we are here, let's make sure that we learn a thing or two in the process.
How Does Walk In Closets Get Full
The problem you and many others in this world are having with their walk-in closets is that they are filling up with clothing. This can be a baffling situation as the thought is that this closet is much bigger than the regular closets that we are use to, so this closet should not ever get to the point that it is full and we cannot find the clothing that we are looking for. When the truth of the matter is much different from our thinking.
First of all, there is a great phenomenon at work here than we are giving credit to. We think that just because the closets are larger, then there should be more space, but let's analyze the situation a little further to see if we can discover more.
People with larger closets, especially larger walk in closets, tend to make more money than those that don't have walk in closets, right? Obviously, walk in closets are associated with larger homes, and larger homes are associate with larger incomes. This is all very logical. But what we are leaving out of the equation is the tiny economic principal that I learned back in collect that says, "Peoples expenditures will rise to meet or exceed their income."
Think about this for a moment, if you are making $50,000 a year, then most people tend to spend at least $50,000 a year. And if this person were to receive a raise of say $25,000 a year and they are now making $75,000, then you would think that they would have an extra $25,000 to save from year to year.
But the research that has been found is something totally different. In fact, it is mind blowing. This research shows that the axiom I discovered in economics is true, people's expenditures will rise to meet their income level. So this person that was making $50,000 that is now making $75,000, will find a way to spend the extra $25,000 to allow their expenditures to meet their income level.
This is very easy to imagine as their friends, family, and ego step in to show them things that at the previous level they paid no attention to, but now that they have to means, they are spending like crazy to take up that extra money. This is a phenomenon that I think we all have fallen victim to and I swear this is the last time for me as I plan on getting it right.
How does this economic axiom apply to Walk in Closets?
It is actually very simple. As you make more and more money, you tend to buy more and more and more things. You buy a bigger home, bigger furniture, bigger cars, and more clothing to go with all the other trappings. Therefore, before you had the extra money, you were find with packing out a small regular bedroom or hall closet. But now that you have more money, your expenditures go up and this applies to your clothing, jackets, shorts, shirts, sweaters, shoes, purses, hats, and much, much more. Before long, you look up and that overgrown, massive walk in closet has been reduced down to not having enough space that you need to house all of your belongings. So, what can we do?
How to Organize a Walk in Closet.
Yes. I know, we took the long way to get to this point of how to organize a closet, but it is was important to get you to see that just because you have more room than you are use to having in the past, that your actions and your economic behavior has a strong tendency to take up much of that extra space and room as well. As your income rises, your expenditures rise and this brings more and more clothing and materials into your home to fill up that space.
But know that we are aware of this phenomenon, what do we do to make sure that we don't have this problem in our walk in closets and there is more than enough space to fit and easily find what we need to fin in it?
1) Donation
You obviously have more than you know what to do with or need. Therefore, you should take some of that wealth that you have accumulated in material things and give it to someone that is much more needy than you are. This is a great double win for you as you gain more space in that already overcrowded walk in closet and the people that you make the donations to have something else to wear.
The general rule of thumb is that if you have not worn it in the previous 365 days, then you are not going to wear it. And you should donate it immediately or give it to friends that are less fortunate than you.
2) Organize
Obviously you came here for organization, but this should be done by seasons. If you live in a place where you get to enjoy multiple seasons, they you can group your clothing accordingly. This is great because clothes in the off season can go into storage or the attic. And closets that are in season will instantly have more space and room to fill out your closets. This will make everything much more easy to access in the future.
3) Boxes and Hooks
Make sure you are using dead space in your walk in closet by ensuring that you have boxes and hooks on the wall that certain items can be hung from. This will do wonders for you as you try to find enough space for everything that you have left.
The combination of understanding how you accumulate all of these clothing items over time due to your rising income level, donation, organization, boxes, and hooks should serve you well when you take on the task of organizing your walk in closets.

Custom Closets - 6 Top Benefits of Having a Professionally Designed Closet System
0 comments Posted by ariya at 2/05/2011Benefit #1: Making Efficient Use of Available Space
To the layperson, a closet has a limited number of possibilities; to a professional closet designer, it is filled with opportunities. The fact is, those who work on designing closets for a living look at space a lot differently than average folks do. Where you may see a small rectangular space, a professional designer sees floor-to-ceiling shelves, elegant drawers, first-rate racks and oodles of bins, cubbies and other closet storage elements. By bringing a pro on board, you dramatically increase your odds of making the best use of the space that you have.
Benefit #2: Gaining Access to Creative Design Ideas
Even if you consider yourself to be a fairly creative person, that creativity may not extend to designing the layout of a closet. People who design custom closets for a living know all about the most cutting-edge features - and they know precisely how to make them fit into virtually any design scheme. Better still, a professional closet systems designer will know how to seamlessly blend time-tested features with new-fangled options, ending up with an eye-pleasing - and extremely useful - whole.
Benefit #3: Incorporating the Right Lighting
Your storage closets aren't going to do you a whole lot of good if you can't see what's in them. All too often, amateurs attempt DIY closet design projects - only to forget all about lighting. Truly exceptional closets include thoughtful lighting elements that help to make the most out of their designs. After all, there's no point in adding a few drawers to a wardrobe closet if you can't make hide or hair about what's inside them. In the end, a poorly-lit closet will be no better than any old run-of-the-mill closet. With professional design, the right lighting can be included.
Benefit #4: Creating a Strong, Durable Solution
A knack for carpentry isn't generally enough to produce a truly exceptional closet storage system. Many times, ambitious DIYers achieve a look that is eye-pleasing enough; when their work is actually put to use, though, disaster often ensues. What's the point of having first-rate closet shelves, for instance, if they can't bear the weight of more than a few sweaters? Why bother with the hassle of installing drawers, when they fall right out of their tracks? With a professionally designed closet, you don't have to worry about such issues.
Benefit #5: Enjoying Inventive, Practical Organization
To the uninitiated, a small closet has very limited possibilities. It's all too easy to assume that your dreams of having elegant melamine or solid wood closet shelves are totally unattainable. However, a professional closet designer has the experience and foresight to know that just about anything is possible. Better still, the right designer will know how to put your ideas to practical use. That way, you don't end up with a bunch of very nice-looking - but utterly unusable - closet storage elements.
Benefit #6: Adding Exceptional Value to Your Home
Although you may fully intend to remain in your current house for many years to come, it never hurts to think about the future. Someday, you'll probably want to sell your home. That's why it pays to consider the value that a professionally designed closet can bring to the table. When the time comes to place your house on the market, your exquisitely designed closet system will be something that you can highlight to prospective buyers. Everyone loves a nicely appointed closet. A professionally designed closet will serve you well right off the bat - and well into the future, too.

Justifying the negligible added expense of a custom closet is actually quite easy to do.

The proper closet Layouts are critical to maximizing the efficiency of your storage spaces. For every given storage space there are literally hundreds design options available. If you use computer aided design software (CAD) finding the closet layouts that meets the needs of your home or business is relatively easy. A quick check of the Internet will provide you with lots of design ideas. Most of the top closet design and installation companies provide good online software that allows you to initially design your storage area. Depending on your needs and budget you may want to call in a closet design specialist to assist you.
In the past closet design and construction were relatively simple. You basically had one clothes pole or rod that ran the length of the closet with a single shelf located above. If you have ever been in any older home you have seen these age old designs. When in use these closets have the top shelve full of boxes and on the floor is a mixture of footwear, boxes and bags of clothing. The clothes pole is full from wall to wall with very little organization. Any clothing removed from the closet looks just awful with wrinkles and stretched fabric. These old closets were fine back when most people had few clothes and only one or two pairs of shoes and boots.
Today's closet layouts reflect the changes in our lifestyles. Analyzing what you are going to store in your closet or storage area is a critical first step in any design. Obviously storage areas for a business, home, basement or garage are all going to have different requirements.
Never the less there are still just two basic types of closets. The "reach in closet" consists of a single wall layout that can be accessed from outside the closet simply by opening the closet door or doors. All shelves and/or clothes poles are located along the back wall of the storage area or closet. Reach in closets are the most common closet found in any home or office. Again maximizing the efficiency of this space requires you to itemize all the possible items that would be stored within the storage space.
Walk-in closets come in many different size and shapes. The largest walk-in closet layouts allow for at least 3 walls of shelving and clothes poles. In general well designed U-shaped closets and storage are very efficient in maximizing space. Proper design and installation of a walk-in closet will most often require the expertise of a closet or storage space specialist or contractor.
Locating the expertise that you need will depend on where you live. One of the easiest places to find assistance is you local home improvement store. Both Lowes and Home Depot provide simple closet layouts assistance. They also have contractors that can install your closet for you. If you live in an urban area most likely there will be closet and storage space designers and contractors that will provide you with the ideas and options that will meet all your storage needs.

Today's market crisis encourages families to remain within their houses, at least until the next market rise. Because of this, the thought of closet system design has become much more popular with its cheap way of making a home better and improving functional home outlets that are usually ignored.
Redesigning home areas that are unimproved can help pass a family's time if they have plans of moving homes later on. This improved area can show off a brand new home feature, which can encourage families to stay, in order to make use of the brand new space that is especially designed for their personal needs.
It would be essential to generate system designs of custom closets whenever you area taking remodeling projects into consideration. Even though they are comparatively small, it would be essential to be very accurate when it comes to personal design needs in order to ensure that further complications will not occur down your journey. Measuring every closet dimension twice would be essential since closet organizers tend to depend greatly on accuracy when it comes to sizes and can help you figure out what your closet can fit.
From your closet's wall length to walk-in closets, designs exist that can fit any home closet size. Such designs are made to make the most of closet space to make organization and storage the top goals of your brand new closet. Measurements aside, it would be essential to bring about every item that you want to store inside your closet while working with a closet system design.
A lot of individuals tend to overlook simple items whenever they design their personal closets, which later leads to stress and headaches when items are left over and have no space. Poor design is only going to lead to clutter yet again, with extra costs for the dysfunctional closet design. Sit down and list various activities that you do every day and which items you visit your closet for.
Clothing would appear to be the most obvious, but a lot of designers concentrate too much on hanging clothes without thinking about folded clothes found outside of the dressers. Storage of shoes is also important, so you can get rid of shoe piles that the majority of families collect on their closet floors. When choosing custom closet organizers, it would be essential to choose features which specifically relate to your existing needs, not to any needs you want to have.
After making your decisions, several easy steps exist that each installer must follow to get the most out of their closet. Never remove items from the closet without filtering through them first to find ones you can donate or trash. The majority of people do not have the ability to identify what can currently be found inside their closets. If so, those things are probably not needed.
Ensure that the demolition is organized and clean. Novice constructors tend to get tempted to hit closets with sledge hammers and start destruction. However, keep in mind that such reckless demolition could damage spaces which you aren't trying to replace, such as walls and floors. Your closet might require brand new cosmetic repairs and paint jobs so your old closet cannot be seen within your brand new closet system design.
After your brand new closet is finished, you might come to find that your old closet door requires some improvements. Basic installation of bifold closet doors could improve your closet more while giving your space some functionality. Closets play an important role in everyone's daily life and making the most of this space's use could prove to be highly beneficial for any bedroom owner.
