Your walk-in closet offers plenty of space to keep belongings from getting wrinkled or crushed. Different items do well in various parts of the closet. When planning a home organization or designing a custom closet to fit your clothes and accessories, keep these tips in mind.

4 Ways to Organize a Walk-In Closet

1. Shelves

Shelves are the perfect places for shoes, keeping them off the floor and organized in pairs. They also work for clothing items that don't wrinkle, such as sweaters. For this reason, shelves in a walk-in closet don't need to be too tall or deep.

2. Hanging Racks

Any clothing that can wrinkle should go on a hanger. Taller racks are ideal for dresses, suits, long skirts, and coats. Half-height racks make storing shirts, slacks, and shorter skirts more efficient. You can also hang neckties and delicate scarves.

3. Hooks

While you might think of using hooks for coats, such items are better off on a hanger. Instead, put hats, purses, and knit scarves here. These items are relatively light, so they won't be stretched out or dented by the hook. Also, arranging them this way helps keep them visible and allows you to make the most of the wall and door storage.

4. Drawers

Anything too small or odd-shaped to keep organized on a shelf or hook can go in a drawer. This includes belts, accessories, and even jewelry. You can design custom compartments to fit each type of accessory neatly and keep them in order, so they won't slide around when the drawer closes.
