Nice. Those extra shelves really add a lot of space. I tried that recently with my closet and it add lots more room.

Great ideas. I would take it one step further and build in a closet system. I do like how you organize everything.

Great tips. It helps to have some storage containers that are labeled to make it easy for you to find stuffs when you need it. In that way also it is easier to let out one old useless thing when you are getting yourself a new one. That’s always the case for organizing. When you have a new one to add you have to take away an old one as well.

My husband and I rented an apartment for a few months after we got married. No linen closet, so we put up wire shelves on a strange angle wall behind the bathroom door. I used small and large white bins…One small was for first aid, another bin stored shaving supplies for my husband, etc. That way, I always knew which bin we needed. Keep going!

I also loved your ideas, but I need more info on the panytry. How do you categorize everything into a few boxes?
Thanks for your ideas!

Glad I’m not the only one who puts plastic tubs in the pantry. I use them in the cabinets too! Love all your ideas!

Thank you all so much for your kind comments! I have had so much fun organizing my closets and I’m glad a couple other people have been inspired as well.

I will say that some of these pictures make the closets look larger than they really are. Don’t be discouraged if your closets are small – just do what works for you.

Love your fabric covered boxes! I had my husband add an extra shelf to my craft room closet and will be adding extra shelves to my walk-in soon. These boxes will be great for my sweaters and seasonal nightwear. Also wonderful for those gift items we pick up early at great prices. I’ll be off to the fabric store soon. TFS

I use bins in my pantry and I love it!! Using bins and baskets keeps food from getting lost in the back of the pantry and we all know what happens to food that gets lost in the back of the pantry (it expires and gets thrown out).
