Is your closet a jungle of clothes?
Here is the thing about cluttered closets: Most people think of closets as “out of sight, out of mind”. Just close the door. Nobody will see it. However, YOU see it!
There’s lost time scouring the closet for missing items and a financial drain of replacing things you can’t find. In fact, research shows there is a physiological impact as well. If you’ve got closet clutter, you’ll experience negativity and frustration because of the physical chaos.
“If your closet is organized and everything is easy to find, it starts the day on a positive note,” says Kathryn Norton, co-owner of The Tailored Closet of Knoxville. “Having a closet designed for your specific needs is worth the time and investment.”
When it comes to closet design and features, depending on the size of your closet, there are probably more options available than most people realize. Besides rods to hang your clothes, some of the most common features people want in their closets are:
Dedicated Shoe Storage
Shelving for shoes makes it easy to see each pair you own instead of constantly bending down and searching the floor for the match to the shoe you want. Slanted shoe racks are one of the most popular ways to store shoes since it is easy to see each pair. Straight traditional shelving provides easier adjustability when you need to transition from winter boots to flip-flops.
Drawers
Once considered a luxury, drawers in a closet are now part of a basic design. Drawers not only increase storage inside the closet, but they allow you to get dressed without having to walk back and forth, back and forth, from your closet to a dresser in the bedroom. Keeping all your clothes in one place is definitely a time saver. And of course, while shelves and hanging rods put your shoes or clothes on display, drawers conceal items, an essential for things like underwear and pajamas.
Accessory Display and Storage
If you don’t have the proper storage for items like jewelry, belts, and other accessories, they often get lost or they’re hard to find when you want them. For jewelry, a dedicated lined drawer with compartments keeps jewelry organized and away from damaging dust. Jewelry drawers can also have locks installed. The most popular accessory is a slide-out valet rod mounted to the side of a panel. It serves as a temporary place to hang clothes as you move them around or place your next-day clothes at night on the valet rod to make getting ready in the morning even faster.
