If the closet in your apartment is small, it can become cluttered quickly, making it stressful to get ready in the morning as you sift through piles of clothes. Creating a closet organization system can make your life easier and your closet more usable and visually appealing. We’re here with some closet organization tips and hacks for small apartments.

Use Hanging Organizers

A great way to optimize your closet space is to use a vertical organizer that hangs from the closet rod (adjacent to where you hang your clothes). These organizers come in various setups, colors, and sizes that utilize compartments for pants, shirts, and shoes. They’re lightweight and make it a breeze to find the pieces you’re looking for!

Storage Above or Below Clothing

There’s likely space left underneath the clothes hanging in your closet. That space presents the perfect opportunity to add more storage! Place a small dresser, shoe rack, or storage basket under your clothes to optimize the space. Additionally, if you have extra space on a shelf above your closet rod, you can use multiple baskets to organize your jewelry, accessories, shirts, and other pieces—or store out-of-season styles until it’s time to bring them back out.

Beyond the Closet

If you simply can’t squeeze any more organizers or storage bins into your closet, consider it done and move on to another option: freestanding clothing racks. Clothing racks come in sleek, stylish designs that complement the room you place them in, and you can even put your best clothes on display!
