If you've lived in your home for a long time, the chances are you've accumulated quite a lot of mismatched organizational accessories over the years, each one picked up to address a certain need in your home. Have you ever wished that these mismatched accessories actually matched?
I'm speaking in particular of the accessories in your closet. Plastic racks for your shoes, a metal rack for your ties and belts, some fibreboard shelves. Each one suits its purpose, and using them all will save you time in the long run. But they're mismatched, and they don't have to be.
Complete Closet Organization System
It's time to think about installing a complete closet organization system. These systems - which provide places for your shoes, appropriate racks for ties and belts, and built in shelves - are available from quite a few manufacturers. And regardless of your financial situation, you'll be able to find a system to fit your needs.
The first thing you'll need to do is measure your closet, of course, to know the exact dimensions, from side-to-side and from top-to-bottom. Then measure it again. "Measure twice, cut once" is an old saying that still holds true today.
Then go out and get your system.
Rubbermaid provides a very economical design, which still looks good because everything matches. They call it Configurations by Rubbermaid. Their system is made out of gleaming metal, and there is no cutting, trimming or pre-measuring necessary, because it comes with telescoping rods to fit any closet from 4 feet to 8 feet. You merely screw the hang rails into your wall at the appropriate length, and then to this attach as many shelves, racks, and baskets as you need. As your clothing expands you can add more shelving.
Measure Once and Then Measure Again
Got your measurements ready? Then visit Closits Modular Storage webpage. They've got links to 7 different page of layouts depending on the depth and width of your closet, so you can see the most efficient ways of designing their modular system.
From Creative Spaces, you can get closet systems made out of solid wood instead of particle board or laminate. That always adds a touch of elegance to the decor. Their closets come in red mahogany or honey maple.
If you don't have a large laundry room in which you can set out an ironing board, then you'll want to have a fold-out ironing board included in your system. And a pants presser is always a nice touch.
Happy shopping.
