What are the advantages of a modular closet system?
ClosetMaid’s new Modular Closet line is great because it can be used to create a variety of
storage configurations inside or outside of the closet. In addition, the product line is comprised
of several different styles of organizer units – including a Shelf Unit, Divided Multi-Compartment
Unit, Drawer Unit and Shoe Unit – that can be stacked together or placed side-by-side to create
truly customized designs.
The Modular Closet also includes a Shelf and Closet Rod Kit that can be cut to size, as well as
Door Sets in solid panels or tempered glass for the ultimate boutique look. Other finishing
touches featured in this collection include back panels, trim and molding. The Modular Closet is
available for purchase on ClosetMaid.com and items in the product line range in price from
$27.99 to $144.99 and all hardware is included.
Why is it worth the investment?
There are many reasons. For starters, a good closet system can help you get and stay
organized and being organized brings harmony to your home and your life. Instead of wasting
time looking for misplaced things, you can spend more time doing the things you love.
The best closet systems make your “stuff” the hero and let you access it when you need it.
When you choose a design and closet system that truly maximizes your space, all of your things
have their proper place – from folded items to shoes to hanging items.
What are some basics people overlook when trying to organize their closet?
Several things come to mind:
- Double hang space. A single rod in your closet really limits your storage space. By adding a double hang rod, you can fit so much more in your closet and utilize all of that space smartly.
- Drawers. Many times, we leave the drawers to dressers outside of the closet. However, having drawers in your closet is beneficial and the ideal place to store scarves, hats, clutches and sweaters.
- Besides having a good closet organizing system, you also need to clearly see the contents of your closet. To avoid the mistake of mismatched outfits or socks, get rid of dim light fixtures and install lighting that illuminates the space.
- If closet doors hinder your ability to easily see or grab items, consider swapping them out with doors that enlarge your closet access and view. Or, opt for no doors at all and go with hip curtains.
What are some inexpensive ways to add some method to the chaos?
Whether you have a reach-in or walk-in closet, you can utilize the basic principles of the “closet
zones" to stay organized:
- Arrange your clothing by category, grouping shirts, pants, suits, dresses and so on. Depending on the nature of your wardrobe, you can also separate casual clothes from those you wear to work or on special occasions.
- Add a center tower or area of open shelving for frequently used items. It creates a place for folded things such as T-shirts, sweaters and denim.
- Pants, shirts and dresses can be kept on hang rods, making them easier to access.
- Upper storage shelving (above the highest hanging rod) can be for seasonal clothes you use less often as well as pieces you rarely use at all.
- Personal and activity items such as your everyday watch, wedding ring, wallet, keys and phone can stay within arm’s reach on a waist-level shelf or drawer.
- Shoes worn most often should be the easiest to reach. Keep special party shoes or rarely used running shoes on the floor or way up high.
- When space in other areas of the home is tight, keep luggage and other items tucked away in your walk-in.
- Don’t underestimate the power of closet accessories. Closet systems, like ClosetMaid’s wire and laminate options, can be outfitted with drawers, doors, cubbies, jewelry trays and pullout rods, putting every last inch of space to work.
