The Problem with Closet Organizing
Posted at 6:00 am on June 4, 2012 by JamieMartin
Do you have one of the “closet organizing systems” that is comprised of one long shelf and one hanging clothes bar? I hardly call this a closet system! This is the problem with closet organizing. Many of us have closets configured just like
this. (Every time I look at a new, pricey home, I wonder why the builder used this type of closet system instead of useful one!) Well, if this is the problem with your closets, I have a solution for your closet chaos!
We recently needed to adjust some things in our guest room because we removed one dresser from the room and had to move some things that were in the bathroom vanity into the closet. I found myself with many more items that needed to be stored in the closet!
While the closet is pretty large, it was set up with the standard “closet 
system” - one shelf, one bar. This would be great if I had lots of ball gowns to store!
I took my own advice and invested in a closet system that would hold the types of items we needed to keep in there. I purged what was no longer needed and then put together the puzzle of what kind of storage (shelves, hanging, baskets) I needed. I worked with The Container Store to develop my Elfa System closet plan and ordered it up.
