What are some organizing tips for a closet in our small apartment?

My husband and I live in a one bedroom apartment and we share one, average size closet. What are your organizing suggestions. We keep a good majority of our clothes hung up in our closet along with our luggage, shoes, and a couple of plastic containers with random things in them. Would adding one of those hanging bars be a good idea so I have another level to hang things? I would like to be able to fit my dirty clothes hamper in there as well but there is no room! Since we live in an apartment, I don’t want to spend a lot of money on anything permanent. We don’t have a coat closet either, so I have no where to put our vacuum cleaner! Any help will be aprecciated. Thanks.

  1. I agree with all of Harry’s suggestions. Levelled hangers are good space savers. You could also try folding clothes that don’t crease so you can have more space for those that do.

    Be creative when it comes to storage! The closet is not the only storage space for all your knick knacks. Try visiting http://www.ikea.com. They have several space saving gadgets that would be useful to you.

    Best of Luck!

  2. Your idea for the hanging bar is a good and inexpensive answer, but it sounds like it will require you to move some things out of your closet. Is there enough room under your bed for the under bed storage boxes. How about buying storage boxes that, when covered with a table cloth (even if you have to make it,) can be used as an end table or coffee table. This will make it functional and practical.
