Organizing Shoes and Clothing With Limited Space

RE: Organizing Shoes and Clothing With Limited Space Post By a person (Guest Post) (08/20/2008) In my closet I have my purses on a shelf lined up horizontally and my shoes on a hanging rack behind my closet door. And with clothes, try rolling them. I have two dressers and you can fit twice the clothes in your dressers when you roll your clothes. Organize them like t-shirts in one drawer tank tops in another etc. Also those little kid cubbies are great to put makeup and hair stuff in. Put the cubbies in front of a mirror and your all set.

The wooden single slacks hanger works great because you can undo the wooden dowl and slip off the bra on the far back without taking them all off of the hanger. The multiple hanger you just clasp the clasps around the rod and they hang well. Easy to see and pick out the one you need.

Or store them underneath your bed. I do my shoes on the side of the bed I sleep on and my boyfriend's on the side that he sleeps on. They also sell those laundry racks at Wal-Mart & Dollar stores that have wheels and a pole on them to hang clothes on. Or you can buy those under-the bed Rubbermade storage containers to store out of season clothes!

How about an open cubbyholed set of boxes that you can use as a giant shelving unit across a wall. The clothing for the next day needs to be selected in advance and hung on hangers to have the wrinkles fall out. Just make sure that this collection of boxes is solid and won't fall over on anyone (like a little kid climbing on it).

If you get a kids one the pockets are smaller so it has at least 12 or more pockets. You must be careful not to overload it and be sure it is a strong one that you can hang on a wooden hanger in the closet right next to the other clothes, except this hanger will save 3x's the space. *Also when you fold the shirts /or pants put each one slightly off to the side(*like a deck of cards spread out*) so you can see all the shirts without picking up the whole pile or messing them up. Here is a link to an amazing T-shirt fold: http://www.milkandcookies.com/links/15594/ Enjoy, Crystelc Report Spam or Abuse RE: Organizing Shoes and Clothing With Limited Space Post By Joan in CT. (Guest Post) (08/06/2005) We put ours in a plastic hanging shoe thingee with pockets for individual shoes. If it's where it will show, place it inside the closet door making sure the door is closed all the time when not in use to help the door frame support the added weight. We do this for quick access. A friend of mine puts hers back into the original box they came in and stores them neatly on the closet floor in rows up, and across. If you have and haven't used the storage space under the beds, you could make some kind of low platform on sliders, or use a large plastic rubbermaid type box with top on to keep dust off them.

Very nice. It is approx. 19-20" tall and 44" wide & fits under the cloths that are hanging. No more problems with shoes anymore, they are hidden. I also bought one to sit at the end of two of the beds to hide stuff in. (art's & crafts supplies & computer supplies) LOL Report Spam or Abuse
