Closet shelf organizers can help take the tornado out of your closets. If you're anything like me, you have the best of intentions, but some days, especially at the end of the day, it's just quicker to throw everything in, close the door quickly and forget about the mess.
Short term, that's a plan and it works just fine. But do that too many days in a row and you'll be living in a permanent state of rebellious-closet syndrome.
The solution is a series of closet shelving organizers so easy to use, and so efficient, that they entice you into better organization.
Here are my top three picks:
Top Pick 1: Drawer Dividers
You can buy these ready assembled and either spring-loaded or regular. They are useful for subdividing everything from ties and socks to makeup and underwear. If you want, you can make your own by taking shoeboxes and adding cardboard dividers stuck down with sticky tape. Younger children will enjoy making these as a craft project and painting them in different colors and designs. The more they have invested effort in making them, the more they are likely to use them, too.
Top Pick 2: Shoe Racks
How much time have you wasted looking for the other shoe? If you ask me, there's a conspiracy and I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. The easiest way by far to keep shoes together is to invest in a shoe rack. There are essentially two types and which one you prefer depends on the space you have available. If you have plenty of floor space, go for the horizontal racks which sit neatly underneath hanging space. If not, and you have either free hanging space or an available door, get the hanging racks which have cubbies for each pair of shoes.
Top Pick 3: Shelf Dividers
However carefully I fold and stack clothes in the kids' closets, it's a matter of days before everything is chaos again. Part of the problem is just that the built-in closet they use has a long stretch of horizontal with no upright to stop things getting out of hand.
The solution is shelf dividers, used at regular intervals along the shelves, which keep shirts, shorts, jeans and everything else in their allotted space. It's a quick way to reclaim order out of chaos.
If you don't want to splurge on shelf dividers, simply buy inexpensive plastic baskets which are the right shape and size for the clothes you need to corral.
So there you have it. Three simple ideas for closet shelf organizers which will stop you cringing every time you leave the closet door open.
