A closet can easily become a dumping ground. I love The Container Store’s ELFA products to maximize storage in small closets, however, beginning with editing what’s inside first, along with a couple quick fixes will make all the difference.

Choose matching hangers
Storage bins work best on the top shelf.
Shoe storage below maximizes space below hanging clothing.
It doesn’t hurt to remove a broken chair taking up space either, ha!

Including a personal memento on the shelf keeps it fun and more visually interesting.
