closets

inspiration for any size closet

every organizer says you should have matching hangers. i agree in theory but not in execution. i have 4 different types in my dressing area and they're not the dreaded slim felt hangers.

i know many of you love felt hangers and that's fine, don't come for me, and while i have many clients who use them, they're not for me. i've also noticed people with mostly cotton tops generally don't like them either because with the felt causes friction and it can be hard to get your shirt on the hanger nicely.

and yes, the padded canvas take up more room but my clothes love them. and they're way prettier than the felt 🤍

a detail you might not notice, the reason all these hangers look nice together is the neck of the hangers are all the same which gives the illusion they're all the same hanger as not to add any visual clutter.

i hate having a ton of stuff in general (and not just because i live in a 335 sqft studio apt) but i love handbags, especially my mini ones.

i'm using these linen drop-front  storage boxes that are actually for sweaters! they're extra deep so there's room in the back for other small accessories or delicates. the soft linen box is easy to clean (i vacuum it) and soft to use as an added shelf for folded sweaters. 

the front closes well enough that dust doesn't get through unlike acrylic boxes made especially for bags.

i'd rather spend money on what's hanging in my closet, then spend on the closet itself. when i moved into this tiny studio, i knew this spot in the alcove would be perfect for a dressing area. the last thing i wanted was to to add huge cabinets anywhere. being naturally neat, i knew i could keep this looking great so no doors or curtain was needed.

starting from the top:
- ikea open wood bins ikea circa 2005

- upper shelf, rod and shelf/rod brackets from home depot

- lower thick white shelving ikea 'lack' series 

the whole thing was less than $300 and since i had the lower two shelves with cubbies at the time i moved in it was maybe $100 total. the ikea shelves are just placed in and stacked, they're not actually attached to the wall.

the most expensive things are the the container store drop front boxes which house small bags and a few delicate articles of clothing.

i invested in hangers 10 years before this so i've had my hangers for over 20 years!
from a mess of summer sandal flats in a (beautiful) basket to perfectly organized in a custom shoe drawer with 3 acrylic file sorters. simply perfect.

the three things that helped make the most of this small walk in closet. 

first: acrylic hooks hung with nano tape. i love these hooks for necklaces + bracelets. using nano tape makes 'installing' so easy as there's no hardware. i'll warn you the tape that comes with these isn't great, so i include the tape i use. be sure to wipe the walls downs beforehand. measure out where you need them based on what you're hanging and use a level to make it perfect!

second: wood pant hangers. matching hangers keeps everything  at the same level making seeing what you have easier. i organized the pants by type + color. 

third: acrylic sorters for small bags. not can you see what you have, but not having the bags touching eachother protects them.

for this client's shoe closet we used space saving shoe organizers for her sneakers giving her twice the storage. 

since they're adjustable, you can fit different size shoes as needed.

i love these acrylic file sorters for small handbags + clutches. keeping your bags upright means you can see them and access them easily. 

it's also protects delicate bags from getting scratched or damaged. especially patent leather which shouldn't be in contact with anything or color transfer can happen and be ruined.

@ikeausa pax wardrobes have been around for so long for a reason, they're great. i used them in this client's small walk-in closet to give her a custom look and feel without having to spend a fortune. their shallow 14" deep frames are perfect for shoes and accessories.

acrylic file sorters are perfect for small bags, clutches and wallets.
