Reorganize Your Small Closet For Under $100

January 11, 2016 · In: Organize, Projects

See how an affordable closet shelving kit can reorganize a small closet and increase useable space to store and hang clothes.

I have a lot of clothes. Like, a whole lot. I’m not afraid to admit it. And a lot of shoes. And a lot of accessories.

But you know what I don’t have? A big closet to put them all in. When we moved into our house last March, I just shoved everything I could in the closet and threw in some random containers to corral what wouldn’t fit on the rod, and I left it there.

This is what I was working with. (Don’t judge.) Until one rainy Sunday at Lowes. I was killing time because the rain was really coming down, and I didn’t want to go out in it. So I walked up and down every aisle and looked at every single thing in the store. I found these Closet Shelving Kits, brought one home and spent the rest of the day ripping out the old closet shelving and building a custom design.

I never realized how useless that one rod was until I set up this system. Now I have shelves and rods and multiple levels and baskets and boxes and—oh, how I love it.

Every time I walk into the closet I am amazed at how much I’m able to fit in such a small space, and the fact that it’s all on a track system means that I can rearrange the layout easily anytime I want.

Roll Tee Shirts and Keep them in large baskets

The boxes are perfect for belts, hats, gloves, and bathing suits; and the baskets hold t-shirts, shorts, and pj’s. I didn’t get rid of those two plastic drawers, either. I stacked them on top of each other and put them in the corner behind the clothes. They now hold sandals and handbags.

Use a cedar chest for shoe storage

I utilized storage in other places to hold the overflow. Between the shared dresser with my husband, the under-bed rolling drawers, the scarf rack on the door, and the cedar chest for part of my shoe collection, I’m able to store all my stuff without having a morning meltdown. Not bad for a hundred dollar shelving kit, huh Now on to the rest of the closets in the house!

Do you have a command center in your house? If you Do you have a command center in your house? If you’ve been planning on adding one, here are three tips for customizing it so it works for you:
1. Add a calendar so the whole family is on the same page about what’s going on that month.
2. Decide what needs to be stored in your command center and add storage based on those needs. Don’t worry about what other people use or keep in their own command center because we all live different lives and need different things.
3. Don’t try to make your family change their habits. If they’re used to dropping keys on the counter, a hook may not work for them. Instead, give them a bowl or tray to drop keys in. And if they’re used to sticking reminders on the fridge, add a bulletin or magnet board so they can put them there. Work *with* your family’s habits, not against them.
See the full project and get more command center setup tips in my newest YouTube video. All the product sources I used here are saved in the description of that video too. 🙌🏼

Can I tell you a secret? I’ve never been a fan o Can I tell you a secret? I’ve never been a fan of doing yard work. The gas was stinky, the tools were loud, and the garage was a mess. But all that changed when I switched to @HARTtoolsUSA battery powered outdoor equipment.
Now I love the ritual of cranking up music in my earbuds, taking all the tools off the wall, and the instant satisfaction of the yard going from a chaotic mess to a well-manicured lot.
No joke, our neighbor who was using a gas powered mower actually apologized for the “noise” after hearing our 40V Supercharge Brushless Mower. 😅
Between the HART 40V Outdoor Power Equipment and the Garage Rail System, summer yard work has never been easier. Find them all online at walmart.com. I also saved all the info to a Story Highlight for you too!

Have you tried museum gel before? One of the most Have you tried museum gel before?
One of the most asked questions has the most simple answer. Museum gel comes in either sticker form like these dots I’m using or in a jar. It keeps things in place without permanently adhering them to a surface. Trays can be removed for washing then put right back in with the same piece of gel.
🛒 I saved my favorite types of museum gel to my Amazon Storefront, but you really can’t go wrong with any brand.

If your jeans still look messy when hanging in the If your jeans still look messy when hanging in the closet, they may just need to be turned around. Make sure the booty seam is facing backward so all you see is a nice straight line.
Slim line hangers and arranging from light to dark shades also make your denim stash look just like a store in your closet.
