Closet Efficiency at Home

When it comes to having closets in a home, it is not necessarily the amount of closets you have but the amount of efficiency you get out of the closets you own. With a good storage strategy, whatever space you have is maximized and all your items are easily accessible. Closet organizers are the perfect accessories to have to turn any bland closet into an efficient storage space.

If you want your closet to be organized quickly, then purchasing an off the shelf closet organizing system is the way to go. There are many accessories available ranging from simple units such as wire baskets and plastic containers to some advanced designs such as a sliding shelf unit or a hideaway vanity. The simpler closet organizer units are easy to install because little or no DIY work is required. The more advanced units will require you to work a bit but these units have been designed with the users in mind so most of the work that needs to be done in installing them are not too difficult. If DIY is not up your alley, then most of the stores selling closet organizer systems do offer installation service.

Remember to consider just what it is that you want to store in a particular closet before running out to purchase closet organizer accessories. Take into account the hanging lengths of your clothes to see if you can implement a multi-level clothes hanger. If there are long clothes involved, maybe a shorter length lower hanger is needed to make room for the clothes hanging from the top. Calculate how many feet of hanging rods or shelving units you will need. Take note that drawers can be costly so you need to decide if an open shelf is acceptable or if a drawer is really needed.

Other than purchasing closet accessories that maximize storage space, you might also want to have a look at closet accessories that add functionality your closet. There are hideaway units such as mirrors which you can pull out of the side of the closet wall. You can install tiny little damper plugs that will avoid the closet doors from slamming when you swing them close. With the modern closet organizing systems available, upgrading your closet can truly be an interesting experience.
