Closet Quarters

One great thing about our closet is that it runs the length of our room and we each have our own door. Unfortunately since the depth isn't that great, it kind of makes it pointless to optimize the space in the middle where there is no door. We decided early on that when my official job starts after graduation this December that the first thing we'll be investing in is an updated closet! I've already made a closet inspiration board on pinterest if you want to check out my ideas. I think the space would be better if there was more shelves and racks and a new door system that allows us to utilize the space better. Since our house is old, we don't want to do too much construction and ruin the structure of anything. If you do have tight quarters for your closet, the best thing to do is figure out how to organize! Below are some of tricks for closet organization - especially if you have a lot of stuff, and not a lot room to store it.
 Use these collapsible closet organizers for sweaters, purses, or shoes. It utilizes the space better and for me, my small feet, and my shoe obsession it helps save space for other shoes that need to be kept on racks.
 I have been through fifty different ways to store my scarves - including throwing them in a pile - when I finally found this scarf organizer to hang up!
 In the first picture you can see this funny box/ledge on the left side of the closet. I use it for folded casual tee shirts I wear the most often.
 Metal shoe rack from Target for all my heels
 My jeans are folded and displayed on a shelf above my hanging clothes.
 Use the same hangers for all of your clothes so everything looks uniform. I prefer these black and tan felt covered hangers because they prevent your clothes from slipping off!
Display your most frequently used clutches so you can access them easily. Hats can also be stacked and set on a shelf.
