Storage Tips For The New Yorker With A Small Pad
Plastic bins are a miracle for anybody in similar situations. My plastic bins hold the dog food; with room for only one dresser a plastic bin holds all of our socks and underwear (we call it the sock box); and there is a three-drawer bin next to the table I use as my desk. It holds all of my office supplies like computer paper, pens, pencils, my calculator, and important folders and documents. It even holds a lot of books, and because...continue reading

Cabinets, Cupboards, and Counters
Cabinets and cupboards are generally about one factor: space; the more food, appliances, and other household items that can be stored, the better.

On the other hand, large kitchens need to be designed to bring the needs of the cook within reach of a few steps...continue reading

Customize Your Bedroom Closet

Are you unhappy with your bedroom closet? If you are then you should know you are not alone, and most people wish they had a closet that was organized and met their specific needs. You can customize your bedroom closet so that it fits your individual needs, including organization and storage components. You can have the closet of your dreams, where there is a place for everything and you know where each item is. You do not have to live with a bedroom closet that is stuffed full, or that has an untidy jumble of shoes and other accessories littering the floor. When you custom design your ideal bedroom closet, you can add any components you want to help you keep your closet neat and organized.

Shelving should be a consideration if you want your bedroom closet organized and tidy. Shelves can hold folded clothes, linens, boxes, and store other smaller items as well. You can also add drawers, to make your closet user friendly and easy to put stuff away. The materials you choose will depend upon your budget and preferences, and you can choose from many types of wood, plastics, laminates, and others. Cedar makes a fabulous wood for closet organization, and this wood has a fabulous smell and an extra benefit as well. Insects which like to munch on clothing, including silk and wool, will avoid cedar and this makes it a terrific closet material.

You can also add shoe racks, hanging rods, cabinets and cupboards, and other unique components to your closet to make it perfect for all your needs. When you custom design your closet there are a few different ways you can do it. You can choose some of the do it yourself closet organizing kits and components, or you can hire a carpenter or hire a contractor to perform this job for you. The closet remodel can be as simple or as elaborate as you want, depending on your available space and budget.

A doubled hanging rack, can double the storage and hanging room of your closet. Very few clothes take up the entire space, so adding a hanging rod halfway down the closet will allow you to add a second row of hanging clothes without enlarging your closet any. With proper organization, the closet which looked overstuffed and very messy can become one of the neatest areas in your home. Small cubicles can be added to put shoes, boots, sweaters, sweat shirts, and other clothing and accessories in for a neat and orderly appeal.

If you have a large number of hats, gloves, and other winter clothing, you can design your closet so that these items have a place to neatly reside. You can create a drawer or cubicle where you can deposit all of your gloves, scarves, ear muffs, and other winter gear. Bins also work well for clothing and items that may not fold neatly. You can also add in a built in dirty clothes hamper, so that it is convenient and helps keep all your dirty laundry in one single spot. Put up hooks or multiple row hangers for belts, scarves, neck ties, and other long accessories.

Hiring a professional to organize your closet is the best way to go if you can fit the expense into your budget, but even if you can not afford to have a professional help, you can still end up with a fabulous closet if you are wiling to spend a little time planning out what you want and need, and organizing your closet to meet these needs. Your closet does not have to be a disaster area, and with proper organization this area of your home will be one you love to visit, instead of one that you dread using to get dressed and ready every day. Organizing your closet also means that you should go through everything, and sort out the clothing and items you still wear and use so that they can be kept. Any clothing and shoes that you have not worn and have no sentimental attachment to should be donated or discarded. This will also help free up some closet space and make it easier to organize the remaining clothing and footwear. Closets which are crammed and unorganized can cost you hundreds of hours every year, because this is the time spent by the average American rummaging through bedroom closets looking for a specific item. Whether you do it yourself or hire an interior decorator, organizing your closet is a great way to tidy it up and make it a place where you can easily find your clothes and accessories.
