Closets:
It seems like every year you find yourself spending more time organizing your closet than actually enjoying your closet.
Here are a few tips that may help;
1. Look at the overall space of the closet, are you expecting to much from your closet. Taking out items that are rarely worn (Like that long ball gown in plastic), and putting them in another area will help you with the items you will need on a daily basis.
2.Double hanging bars, this is our claim to fame in the closet industry. Most items in a standard closet are usually hung at single hang height, ie; shirts, blouses, pants slacks hung over a hanger. The standard pole and shelf found in most closets with a pole height of around 68" leaves unused space below and above. The double hanging bar system allows you to maximize your closet space by positioning your hanging clothes on top of each other thus gaining that space horizontally. This allows you to keep the same amount of pole space, and add needed shelving, drawers, or more hanging.
I hope this has helped you to feel better about your closet, whatever size it is...
