No matter how big your closet is, it is important to have it organized in such a way that you can find what you want when you want it, and remove it, with a minimum of fuss and bother. And, just as important - put it back!

Large or Small, Closets Need Organizing If your closet isn't very big to begin with, then it is imperative to take advantage of as many closet accessories as you can to help you keep your clothing easily accessible and well cared for.

Accessories are made to fit the needs of both men and women.

What special accessories do men need?

Well, tie and belt holders for a start. Don't stuff them together in a drawer when you can hang them up properly and make sure they are easy to find. Such companies as Hafele and Easy Track make such devices which you can install in your closet to make life a little bit easier. You place your ties and belts on the rack in such a manner that you can easily spot the one you need.

Men can do with a shoe storage system as well.

You can go with shoe cubbies, basically a system of utilitarian shelves in which you place your shoes, one set to a cubby hole. If space is at a premium you can even get what's called an overdoor shoe rack, which is a system you install on the back of your door in which to place your shoes. Most of these types of systems can hold 15 pairs of shoes for you.

Of course shoe storage systems aren't just for men. If you're a woman you know that typically you'll shoes than men, and so its imperative that you have a neat space for them. From shoe cubbies to overdoor systems to drawers, there'll be something to fit your needs.

Then it's time to look at shelving systems. Some people will need shelves that extend the entire length of the closet, others will need staggered shelves - and there's companies out there that can make anything to fit your needs.

Clothing hampers can also be fitted inside your closet, so that you can be sure what clothes are cleans and which dirty. And if you have a lot of clothes (or bedding) that you don't use anymore but don't want to get rid of, there are systems for that as well, designed to save you a maximum amount of space.

If you've got a messy closet and you've decided it's time to solve that problem, don't go out and buy a lot of mismatched products. You'll want to measure all the dimensions of your closet so that you'll know exactly how much room you have. You'll want to acquire items that will do the job but will also match the decor of your bedroom. Put a little bit of planning into what sorts of organizers you need...and then go out and get them.

Those are the 'large' items you'll need. You'll also want some small essentials, such as sachets to keep away moths, aroma balls to impart a nice aromatic odor, and damp 'domes' to absorb excess moisture. Indeed, no matter what you need, somewhere out there you can find it. And you'll be glad you did.
