The old saying about how they’re not making any more land applies to closets as well: They’re not making any more of them (at least not in your house). Your clothes, however, are a different story: They’re not only making more of them every day, but you’re buying more of them every day. This is the sort of equation that can’t be solved, or so it seems, and that’s how you wind up with shoes in the oven and your jewellery in the freezer.
You might think your only solution to this problem is to hire someone to do professional wardrobe designs for you, or to buy a kit and struggle to make it fit in your space. But wardrobe organisation doesn’t require a fancy degree or a lot of special stuff: There are plenty of opportunities for DIY wardrobes organising, and you have all the materials in your house right now (possibly in the trash).

Wardrobe Organisation Idea: Soda Can Tabs
Your recycling bin is overflowing with diet cola cans and wine bottles. One of these is useful for making your closet work twice as hard (hint: not the wine). The pull-tabs on your soda cans are made of sturdy metal and are already punched with two holes. Pull them off your cans, slide one end over your existing hangers in your wardrobe, then hang a second hanger from the tab. Voila! Two items of clothing hung in the same vertical space as one. You just doubled your closet space by using soda cans.
Wardrobe Organisation Idea: Shoebox Drawer Organisers
Drawers are always a challenge, whether we’re talking professional wardrobe installation or DIY wardrobes. Things get smashed in and forgotten. But instead of buying a prefab drawer organiser, just use some old shoe boxes. They fit into most drawers nice and snug, often two at a time, and keep things separate and neat.
Wardrobe Organisation Idea: Shower Curtain Rings
If you’re like everyone else on the planet, you probably have a ton of plastic shower curtain rings lying around, because they sell them by the hundreds when most people only need about ten at a time. These can be used to turn a single hanger into a mighty multi-hanger for scarves, ties, belts, or anything else that otherwise takes up a ton of room. Just click them into place on the rung of a hanger and use 10-12 of them to hang items, and you just made space in your drawers, shelves, and floor magically appear.
There are plenty of great ideas in your trash, your junk drawer, and your garage for making your closets work harder than ever. Get creative and increase your storage as if by magic!
