Closet shelf organizers could help take all the mess and clutter out of your closets. If you are anything like me, you have the best and greatest of intentions, but on some days, most especially at the end of a very hectic and tiring day, it is just easier to stash everything in, close the door fast and just forget all about it. If short term basis is your plan and it works, that’s fine. But try doing it on a regular basis and you would be living in a permanent and fixed state of topsy-turvy-closet syndrome. The solution—a series of closet shelf organizers which are very easy and convenient to utilize, not to mention so efficient, that they motivate and inspire you to a better and more improved organization.
I surveyed some of my friends’ and acquaintances’ top 3 picks in shelf organizers: Top pick #1: Shelf Dividers—in any which way I try to carefully and painstakingly fold and stack the clothes in the closets, it is just a matter of days before everything is in disorder again. Part of the inconvenience is just that the built-in closet they utilize carries with it a long stretch of horizontal with no upright to prevent things from getting out of control. So the solution is getting shelf dividers—it is a quick way to reclaim order out of disarray. Shelf dividers are also used at regular intervals along the shelves, which can keep shorts, pants, jeans, shirts, blouses and everything else within their alloted space.
However, if you do not like to spend money extravagantly on shelf dividers, you could also opt to purchase some inexpensive plastic baskets which are the right size and shape for the all your clothes that you need to gather and organize. Top Pick #2: Drawer Dividers—they are very useful for subdividing anything and everything from socks and ties, hankies to underwear and makeup. You could buy these ready assembled and either regular or spring-loaded. Or if you like, you could actually make your own by getting shoe boxes and adding cardboard dividers stuck down with sticky tape. Younger kids would certainly enjoy making these as a craft project and painting them in various colors and designs.
The more they have invested time and effort in making them, the more likely they are to make use of them. Top Pick#3: Shoe Racks—how much time have you already wasted just searching for the other shoe? If you ask me, there is a conspiracy and I am waiting for the other shoe to drop. Try to invest in a shoe rack because it is the easiest way by far in keeping shoes together. Basically, there are 2 kinds and which one you like really depends on the available space you have. If you have sufficient floor space, then you can go for the horizontal racks that can sit neatly underneath the hanging space.
But if not, you have either an available door or free hanging space, take the hanging racks which have storage compartments for each pair of shoes.
