If you have a lot of clothes you like but do not wear, consider letting them go. Picking out the things you have not worn in a year, or more, will help you make sometimes hard decisions. You can either donate these clothes to a charity or store the clothes in a separate closet in a basement or garage. For out-of-season clothes, such as heavy winter coats in the summer, you can purchase an inexpensive rolling garment rack with moisture resistance to store the clothes safely for next year.
Coating a corner closet or clothes hanger rack floor with shoes creates clutter and confusion. If you have a plethora of shoes, picking through to see which shoes you will need for the current season can help you organize your collection. Getting a hanging shoe rack--either a traveling plastic sheet with slots or a wire rack--helps you store your shoes in a convenient, accessible system so you don't have to scrounge on the floor for a matching pair as you head out the door.
Individual hangers take up a lot of room, especially thick plastic hangers. A clothes hanger organizer, however, lets you hang multiple or even quadruple clothing items on one hanger vertically. These hangers help to save space and, by default, help organize. For instance, you can hang an entire outfit--shirt, sweater and pants or skirt--on one hanger.
Because the clothes hanger takes up a corner of your room, consider installing an additional corner cubby hole storage area above the closet. Ideal for organizing odds and ends like jewelry, underwear, ties, tights and workout clothes, the cubby hole system is also accessible. You can slide the clothes hanger to the side to get to cubby if you want it hidden, or reach above to closet to reach extra items.
