Use Clothing Dividers
Dividers are a good way to separate your clothes by size, occasion and season. For instance, you could divide summer clothes from pregnancy wear. In the same vein, use clothing divider tags to separate office wear from gym outfit.
Moreover these printed dividers are cost effective. Actually you can make them yourself using a cardstock or any hard paper, labeling it and cutting it to the shape of your choice.
Ensure that even when you are putting back clothes you have not worn or had taken for laundry you follow the guideline of the dividers. Avoid putting clothes just anywhere because you are tired or have no time because then, the dividers would be rendered useless.
Use Shower Rings
You can also use shower rings to arrange a number of clothes on just one hanger. These are ideal if you have to hang scarfs, belts and even bras. With shower rings, you don’t have to tie scarfs on a hanger as a way to fasten them since knotting scarfs creates major wrinkles which require you to iron before you use them.
Shower rings also can be decorative if you play around with different colors and the way you organize them. A dozen of 24 pieces of shower rings on Amazon costs between $4.99-$25 depending on type, size, color and durability.

Utilize the Vertical Space
You realize most closets have a lot of free vertical space. Use it for a number of purposes. For instance you can add hooks to your closet door, sides and any other open space to hang bags, belts, jewelry (Necklaces), hats, scarves, purses and hair wigs.
You can also use these hooks to hang coats, and other clothes you don’t necessarily have to fold.
Use Reusable Labels
If you use a shared closet with your better half or kid, you might need to separate and label each person’s section with reusable labels.
Use them to separate the closet but also in each person’s section, use them to separate clothes, accessories, and underwear. This makes the closet organized which saves time and energy because you can easily identify what you want.
Hang Your Favorite Accessories
Instead of having to look in the drawers for bags, jewelry and hats, it’s easier if you hang them for easy identification.
Hanging also keeps them safe for long especially hats and bags which shouldn't get folded or just piled on top of each other because they wouldwear out fast. Also, if you mix different colors, it is a beautiful sight and decorative.
Install a Hidden Hamper
In case you are installing a shelving unit in your closet, consider incorporating a built-in hamper which will provide more storage space for other linen and clothes.
You can put in clothes and linen that you rarely use at the moment. For instance, keep warm clothes, blankets and scarfs in this hamper when it’s a hot season and do vice versa for a cold season.
Use Soda or Tin Tab
Utilize soda tabs or any tab from the tinned foods to hold two hangers together. For instance you can put shirts on different gangers and double or triple tem up using this tin tab. This is ideal for long closets as opposed to wider one because you get to use more vertical space.
Bottom Line
As opposed to what people think, you don’t need to much space, a walk-in closet or a big budget to have an organized closet. Like you have seen from the ideas above, you only need to be creative with the space in any size of closet that you have.
One important thing is not to keep a lot of things that you don’t need as they use up too much space.
