1. Flip flop hangers. Shoes are one of the biggest clutterers in any closet. Get them up off the floor by making these easy flip flop hangers! Sure, they work best for sandals, but they’ll hold your flats and slippers too! How to Declutter My Closet. (Photo source: EPBOT)

2. Chain link hangers

If your closet is anything like ours, then you probably have too many hangers to even fit on the rod! Free up some space for other clothes by “stacking” your hangers using an S hook and a chain! You’ll get to hang more hangers but they’ll take up much less space.(Photo source: Instructables)

3. Shoe box drawer organizers

Free up space in your closet by taking better advantage of your drawers and moving some garments there. Folding your shirts into small rectangles and placing them inside shoe boxes, then place the shoe boxes inside your drawer to keep everything neat and contained.(Photo source: I Heart Organizing)

4. Shower ring hangers

Shower rings strung onto hangers are a great solution for storing scarves. Simply slide the scarves through the rings and let them hang! This solution is also great for tank tops (loop the ring through the straps and let them hang) and belts.(Photo source: From the Desk)

5. Closet door shelves

If your closet is big enough, screwing a simple wooden shelving unit to the inside of the door can completely transform your storage! Whether you use them for clothing, shoes, or other objects, those shelves will give you all the extra storage space you need!(Photo source: Ana White)

6. End rods

If your closet is the kind that doesn’t use the space all the way to the ends, there’s a way to fix that! Try putting two tension rods in each end, one at the top and one half way down. You’ll be able to hang two to four extra rows of clothing!(Photo source: 320 Sycamore)

7. Drawer handles

Repurpose the drawer handles from an old dresser to make hangers for small items! Screw them to the wall or the closet door and loop things like scarves, ties, or pairs of tights through them.(Photo source: BHG)

8. Clothes pin tights

Use velcro strips to stick clothing pins in a row along the back of your closet or on the inside of the door. Pin pairs of tights or leggings by the waistband and let them hang to save space!(Photo source: Lana Red)

9. Stacked hanging bras

Using storage bins and drawers isn’t the most space efficient option when it comes to storing your bras. Instead, consider using the blank space inside the closet door to stack hangers and hang your bras vertically!

11. Bags on hooks

Storing your bags on shelves or in baskets works, but it also takes up a lot of room. Using simple S hooks on the curtain rod to hang your bags alongside your clothing frees up space elsewhere in the closet!(Photo source: Real Simple)

12. Repurposed shoe organizers

Hang a shoe organizer on the back of the door and use it for anything you need! The pockets make a great storage solution for scarves, underwear, socks, and small tank tops.

13. Shower hook jeans

Shower curtain rings that have a big hook on top and a small hook at the bottom are perfect for hanging jeans in your closet. They take up less space than hangers and they let the jeans hang at an angle so the fit better side by side. Look the smaller hook at the bottom of each shower ring through the belt loop of the jeans.(Photo source: Trusper)

14. Jewelry frames

Unused wall space in your closer can be maximized too! Try using them to hang jewelry that would otherwise be cluttering the top of your dresser or your bathroom counter. In a large picture frame, place a piece of window screen. Hook dangling earrings through the screen and use paper clips to hook other pieces of jewelry like bracelets and necklaces.

15. Ladder closet

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you just need a little extra storage than what your closet offers. If extra hanging space is what you really need, solve the problem by upcycling an old ladder. Paint it a colour you like, build simple angled brackets from wood for support, and screw it horizontally to the wall. The rungs of the ladder give you extra hanging space and large boxes can be easily stored on top!(Photo source: Interiorholic)
