Closet Organization Ideas — FAQs
Q: How can I organize my small closet?
A: A tiny closet only needs a few upgrades to feel a thousand times more functional. For best results, focus on three main organization tips for small spaces: efficient folding methods, utilization of previously unused space, and dedicated sections for certain items. (And, hey, a biannual purge doesn’t hurt, either.) Additional small-closet organization ideas are covered below.
Q: How do I organize my closet on a low budget?
A: You really don’t need to spend big bucks to make a functional closet. In fact, for a zero-cost closet upgrade, start by only revamping your organizing methods. This means downsizing your wardrobe, rotating seasonal clothing, and using specialized folding and stacking methods — all tasks you can easily turn into long-term habits at no charge to you.
If you’re okay spending a little cash on closet organization, start by shopping for affordable bins or baskets and easy-to-assemble closet systems with simple designs. A few soft boxes, rack dividers, and damage-free hooks won’t run you more than $100, for example. From there, you can DIY all kinds of closet organizers just by repurposing common household items outlined below.
Q: How can I organize my closet without shelving?
A: A great way to organize a closet that doesn’t have built-in shelving (and without having to build new shelving) is to invest in hanging shelf organizers. These vertical canvas “shelves” simply hook onto the closet rod, providing instant cubby-like storage that’s perfect for anything from shoes and purses to sweaters and T-shirts. Some even come with cute canvas drawers.
Q: What is the most efficient way to organize a closet?
A: The most efficient way to organize a closet is to pull everything out; sort items into specific categories; declutter what you don’t use, need, or want; and then put everything back in a way that allows you to find what you’re looking for quickly and easily. Adding canvas storage boxes, hanging shelves, and even low-lying shoe racks can be helpful, depending on what you have in your closet.
When it comes to organizing the items themselves, there are several ways to go about it. You could hang articles of clothing up based on length (shortest to longest), arrange items with other like items and color-coordinate within each section, or you could even hang entire outfits up together (blouse, slacks, and matching necklace) for a quick morning routine. Play around with it and find what works best for you.
Q: What order do you hang clothes in a closet?
A: There’s no one right way to hang your clothes in a closet, but there should be some logic to how you hang them. Grouping them in a way that makes sense to you is the best way to maintain your organization. It can look like hanging all of your short-sleeve tops, long-sleeve blouses, dresses, and pants in their own section; putting your most-worn items at the left (or most accessible) side of your closet; or hanging items by color, with each color grouped together (you can even color code within a subsection of shirts or pants).
Q: What clothes should go on shelves?
A: Any clothing can go on a shelf, but not all pieces are best suited for folding. Pants are easy to fold and place on a shelf — especially denim jeans and spandex leggings — while your linen dresses and wrinkle-prone work shirts are best hung up instead. It may not matter much if your cotton gym T-shirts get some wrinkles, so you can fold those into a neat stack rather than allow them to take up precious hanger real estate. Besides that, your best bet is to fold wrinkle-free fabrics, like polyester, wool, spandex, denim, rayon, and cashmere, to name a few.
Q: How do I organize my closet with too much stuff?
A: To organize a closet with too much stuff, the best way to start is by decluttering. Go through your entire wardrobe and separate everything into keep, donate, and toss piles. Once you’ve narrowed things down, you can take some of the bulk out of your closet by installing a second rod to hang double the articles of clothing.
Q: How do you design a closet layout?
A: The perfect closet layout depends on the wardrobe it’s trying to accommodate, so first you need to take stock of what you have. A giant shoe collection? Try floating shelves or an over-the-door organizer. A million sweaters? Use baskets and cloth storage cubes on the shelf above your closet rod or on the floor below. A bevy of handbags? Suspend them from some “S” hooks or display them on an étagère out in your bedroom. Whatever you do, don’t try to make a closet system fit your wardrobe — design the layout around your wardrobe.

Reviews for "The Fascinating History of Magic House Bookends"
1. John - 1 star
I was really disappointed with the Magic House Bookends. They looked so cool in the pictures but when I received them, they were of poor quality. The paint was chipping off and they felt very flimsy. Additionally, they didn't hold my books properly and kept falling over. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.
2. Sarah - 2 stars
The Magic House Bookends were not as magical as I was expecting. The design is cute, but they are not very functional. They are not heavy enough to hold a decent number of books and kept sliding around on my shelf. The construction doesn't seem very durable either. It's a shame because they would have looked great if they were actually useful.
3. David - 2 stars
I was excited to get the Magic House Bookends for my daughter's room, but they were a big letdown. The idea is great, but the execution is poor. The bookends are not stable enough and don't hold the books securely. They have a glossy finish that easily scratches, and the colors are not as vibrant as depicted in the pictures. I was hoping for better quality, especially for the price I paid.
