    Excellent, excellent video! I work as a designer for a well known design company. These hacks are spot on. The only thing I didn’t like was the shoe storage being above the clothing. Pool noodle in the purses is excellent. Great ideas without having to pull the closets apart. And thank you for giving the information quickly and not rambling on. It’s appreciated you’re respectful of others time.

    Just a helpful little hack. Hang all of your clothing backwards on the rod with the open side of the hanger facing out. When using a piece of clothing and putting it back later, hang it the right way. At the end of the year, go through your closet and get rid of anything still hanging backwards. It’s a good way to keep track of what you truly don’t wear and can donate. Also remember women’s shelters when donating clothing. ❤

    Changing out my hangers for the nicer, slimmer, velvet type with swivel hooks and no slip grip has been so very much worth the investment! It has been a game changer for me, especially since I prefer to hang nearly all my clothes rather than folding them. Socks and underwear are the only things I don’t hang in the closet, even with limited space. I live in a tiny apartment now, after having owned two larger homes previously. Downsizing has been a bit painful at times, but is much better for me overall. But organization is key to having enough space !

Won't shred like stick-on vinyl. Also, a periodic wipe with a piece of wax paper will make those hangers slide like a dream. (Old retail trick.)

Instead of choosing an Ikea or Closet World System which I'm sure is quite expensive I chose to reconfigure my space with the "perfectly" useable Clear Containers I already have. This meant donating a lot of STUFF and from this moment on keeping everything to a minimum by NOT purchasing more STUFF. I'm not finished yet but I can actually walk into my closet now.

    Well done! It feels fabulous once you’re organised. I have always had the rule of “bringing one new item in means taking two items out”. If I buy a shirt, two go! Same with shoes, etc. At one point I was so inundated with hats, mittens, gloves and scarves (that no one wore) that I gathered my husband and kids, said pick which ones you like. Then we went to which TWO you like the most. I then put dividers in a drawer by the back door and said ‘this is where they live. Learn, love it, do it!’. That was 20 years ago and now the kids spots are empty. I’m waiting for grand babies to fill them!! 😂

    Helpful hint... You can also use soda can tabs to hang clothes going down. The tab has 2 holes. Hang one over the top clothes hanger, put second hanger in the second hole of the tab for hanging multiple clothes downward. Plus, the metal doesn't lose its ability to hold the weight of the clothes like the plastic does. I had that problem with the store-bought plastic that was specifically made to hang clothes downward.

    Wow! What an incredible difference! And you did it how us normal not wealthy folks would! I’m tired of watching shows of “Organizers” going into a Garage and organizing it! She’s a Kardashian I sure hope you can organize it with NO CASH LIMIT! I could organize any room with $45,000! smh 🤦🏻‍♀️ Or Reece Witherspoons kitchen! That show is extremely depressing. And insulting! You took very affordable and appropriate items and improved those closets. I’m now single after 30 yrs and before I moved I sold my bedroom furniture. The closet in my bedroom is pretty big so I never got a new dresser! Never needed one. But then I just started keeping my clothes in my tiny laundry room. It’s just me so it works! My W & D face each other. I put a broom handle across them. So now I hang shirts up as I pull them on the pole. My undies I simply toss in a bin I got at Dollar Tree 😊 I stopped folding yrs ago! Shorts (I live in FL) go in a bin next to the other one. Same with pjs. Tho, I usually just wear a tank top to bed! For dresses, Dollar Tree has over the door hooks and I use that! They now hang on the back of the door. Now I’m working on using my walk in closet as a storage room for seasonal stuff! For shoes I had to get real. I wear my Teva Flip Flops every day. I wear my sneakers maybe 2 times a year! I can’t remember the last time I wore heels or even boots. It’s just too hot! I apologize this reply is so lengthy. I’m new to your channel 😊 And I wanted to share my “out of the box” solution to my Closets! As for an Office? It’s a small 1bed/bath. I used the front hall closet. It’s small so I took a plastic shelf you’d normally use in a garage and put it in there. I removed the top shelf to fit it in underneath the rod. Now each shelf has its job. And no damage to the walls!! Happy Organizing 😊

    I live in a house built in the 1950's, when people didnt have so much, so closets are very,very small.I use S hooks in my closet, and those hanging shelves are great too. If you have a less sturdy one, try placing a piece of thick cardboard (or chipboard) on each shelf to add stability and I found a folding board to be very useful as you can actually fold anything on them and whatever you're folding can all be the same exact size. I'm an organizing freak and have owned a small label maker for a long time and use it for everything. I also use individual over the door hooks for towels, robes and used those mesh laundry bags for lingerie, hooked together with binder rings, hung on those over the door hooks to sort my lingerie that needs washing cause I hand wash those items.

    Great video. I like the clear plastic boxes but I’d move them 90 degrees so the front to back is narrower-can fit more. Jewelry is a never ending challenge. If you wear it a lot, I put in those pockets on jewelry organizer. But when I travel, I’ve learned to take a chain necklace for instance and fasten it (so it’s a loop), less likely to get in a knot, then I slip in mini-pill bags so they stay separate. Then when I get home, I keep them that way. Also helps to see the jewelry you really aren’t using. (Similar to putting hangers in closet backwards to prove you’ve worn clothes).

    Pool noodles in purses, white hanging rods and clear bins are great ideas. I prefer containers with straight sides, not angled or round, for maximum use of space. If clear bins overstimulate with colors inside, well-labeled white boxes offer a clean look. (I use shorthand on white boxes when I don't want someone else to know what is inside.)

    I would love to have a closet like that! My house was built in 1949 and the bedroom closets are built into one end of room behind a wall with a door on each end. It goes from end to end but you can only reach into it from the doors and it’s a little wider than the width of the hangers. I would love to take out the wall between the doors to access it all, but the heating vent is in that wall 🤦🏼‍♀️. Because it’s so hard to access, it’s pretty used to just hang clothes we rarely wear!

    Donating LOTS of stuff is key. Easier to organize less! Lots of good ideas here. Stroke took away several sizes so bigger items, even if new, must go. Don't assume your kids will want your stuff. Ask-you may be saving stuff they do NOT want. Beware buying storage you may "someday" use as better products will likely be out by then. Even cheaper Walmart storage can add up depending on your budget.

    🎯Yes! Super Smart Solution! At least her double closets are in a separate corridor. An open closet is NOT so bad if you only had to see all this ✨️organized glory✨️ on the way to the 🚻 bathroom or when exiting the room🚪. I would also not find it restful🥱 to face an open closet, esp. when lounging in bed 🛏. 🤔In the case of a long single wall of closet (even one covered nicely w/a curtain)〰️I would seriously consider floating my sturdy canopy bed almost like an island 🏝 in front of it. So, there was space to navigate easily behind the headboard to get access to clothing & such, but make it so you never had to face it👍. 😉Besides which, I wonder if her lovely home is hermetically sealed. Mine is not🤣. And, while I even live in a quiet rural suburb with 2 dead-end streets to mountain hiking trails, we still get daily delivery 🚚 truck traffic for our remote residents. I like to keep my bed & bath 🛁 windows 🪟 open too. As a result, every surface requires frequent dusting. Without closet doors, my clothing would require more washings💧too😖. I even store my corporate trouser & skirt suit sets inside larger zippered garment bags in my closed closet for extra layer of dust (& moth) protection. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
