How Custom Closets Can Help You Tame These Common Clutter Issues

Clutter is one of those things that almost everyone deals with to some extent. You don’t have to become a minimalist to address your issues with clutter. The key isn’t in not owning things; it’s in having the right spaces to corral, separate, and organize those belongings.

Custom closets can help you deal with clutter in a number of different ways. 

• Don’t Let Clothes Pile Up on the Floor
• Get Accessories Under Control
• Give Shoe Collections Some Structure
• Bring Order to Toys in Kids’ Closets
  

Take a look at some of the ways custom closets help control clutter.

One of the main things a closet is supposed to do is hold your clothes, so how do you wind up with clothes piled all over the floor? There are a couple of possibilities. Either you don’t have a place to put used clothes, so they end up on the floor until you collect them for laundry, or you don’t have enough room to store clean clothes, so they end up dropping out of overstuffed drawers and off of hangers. In the worst-case scenario, you have both problems, which can mean that you not only have both clean and dirty clutter, but the two are probably mixing.

Having tilt-out hampers installed in your custom closet can help prevent dirty clothing from building up. Installing custom drawers and cabinets or additional rods and shelves gives you more room to store clean clothes without them being crammed together or overflowing from somewhere and winding up on the floor.

Clothing accessories can be overlooked because they don’t seem like they should take up very much space. However, they can cause bigger storage problems than their size would suggest. Take belts and scarves, for example. Neither of these items is very large, so you would think they’d be easy enough to store. Soon, you find that these items will slide off the hangers and wind up on the floor. They clutter up drawers and surfaces by taking more space than is really needed to store them. 

In a custom closet, this can be solved by installing a tie rack or loops made to hold scarves. This keeps them in place without taking up undue space that you could be using for other things.

If it’s not your closet that you’re worried about, but your child’s closet, you’re not alone. Kids’ closets have additional elements that often make them more prone to clutter than adult closets. One of the big ones is that kids’ closets are often the place where toys are stored as well as clothes, shoes, and accessories, and toys can rapidly become disorganized if you’re not careful.

Customize your child’s closet by adding cubbies and bins. Cubbies are great for storing kids’ books and small toys that your child wants easy access to. Other toys can be stored in bins with lids. You can label them or use different colors so your child knows exactly which kinds of toys are held in which bins, which means that they can grab what they want without pulling out everything and making a mess.

Clutter caused by closet confusion can quickly get out of control, but there are ways to deal with clutter problems in custom closets. You can give yourself places to store dirty clothes and extra storage space, keep accessories out of the way, and streamline your shoe collection. In your child’s closet, keeping toys organized makes a major difference.
