There are very few people I know that would say that they have more closet space than they need! Instead, I think most of us want to make the most out of every square inch of our closet space while also keeping things neat and orderly so we can find what we're looking for! This is why I gathered together 12 organized closet ideas to inspire all of us to get organized with our closet storage (and make it all look pretty too!)
Get an Organized Closet by Maximizing Your Hanging Space:
The easiest way to make the most of your hanging space is to double what you can hang on each hanger. I love this super simple idea from Shabby Creek Cottage to hang a soda can tab on each hanger so you can loop the second hanger through the tab!
And these S-shaped hangers This is an affiliate link: MomOf6 earns a commission if you purchase, at no additional cost to you. will allow you to hang up to 5 pairs of pants or scarves in the same space as one hanger. And because they are made of stainless steel, they are strong enough to handle the weight of the garments.

Making the Most of Storage Behind the Doors:
If your closet has a door that swings out, make sure that you are maximizing the space behind that door.
