Expert organizers agree that a system is critical to maintain a functional closet, yet very few closets start out with one. So no matter how tidy and organized we are, we often feel like there is something missing. Could our closets look a lot better than they do right now? The answer to that is yes, with a closet system we think is pretty smart.
In fact, it IS smart! You’ll get to know the five components of a true closet system in a way that’s easy to remember, using the letters in SMART:
S = Solid Foundation. A solid foundation for your closet is quite simply the right amount of hanging rods and shelves necessary to hold your wardrobe. The designers at A Perfect Closet conduct a thorough inventory of what you want in your closet, then come up with an organizational design that will accommodate everything.
M = Maximizing, or making use of all available space. An efficient closet system can sometimes double the storage capacity simply by turning empty walls into usable space. Additional elements such as drawers, dividers and slatwalls may be included, depending on your needs and target budget.
A = Arrangement. Many studies have shown the positive impact that aesthetics and pleasing arrangements have on mood and even on productivity. You begin and end your day using the closet—in no time, artful arrangement of wardrobe by color, creating zones and grouping similar items will become essential (and second nature!) to you.
R = Reachable. The items you use and wear frequently should be within easy reach; the right configuration of hanging rods and shelves will put your hanging clothes, folded items, shoes and accessories in the ideal spots. Higher shelves allow for seasonal storage and infrequently used items.
T = Trimming. Effective and ongoing evaluation of your closet and its contents is part of maintaining a well-organized closet. A Perfect Closet provides lots of ideas and tips for getting your wardrobe into optimum condition—you also may want to trim in order to make room for a piece or two from this season’s chic styles!
Once you understand how these five factors transform a passive space into an ultra-functional closet, you are well on your way to a higher degree in wardrobe management.

Essential Pantry Items to Keep You Organized and Stress-Free
Outside your refrigerator, your pantry is the go-to stop to get food. However, it quickly loses that title if you have to spend time whether you bought something or where a food item is.
Instead of putting yourself in confusing situations every single time you walk into your food storage area, equip yourself with the right tools so that you have a well-stocked and well-organized pantry all the time.
- Clear Bins
There is no excuse to not have see-through bins in a pantry. Clear bins are self- explanatory: they allow you to see your food items at a glance. Whether its pasta or a pile of pinto beans, storing them in something you can see without opening it will prevent the pantry from becoming the Twilight Zone.
- Lazy Susans
If you still don’t know what a Lazy Susan is, it’s a rotating tray that keeps bottles and their labels facing front at all times. They’re perfect for utilizing the corner spaces of your pantry instead of letting them go to waste. Lazy Susans are a lifesaver for those who own many different kinds of spices.
- Baskets
Baskets group your food and make it easy to identify. In addition, they allow you to move a group of food items at once for easy organization. If you really want to go the distance, label each and every single one of those bad boys.
- Trays
Trays function similarly to baskets, except that they are mostly flat, and you can place groups of related items on top of them for other family members to find exactly what they need. For example, if the man in the house needs a PB&J fix, put the bread, the peanut butter, and jam together on the tray. Making chili for the family? Group the beans, spices, and sauces together for an easy take out.

New Closet Trends For 2017

The upcoming year is looking to bring a slew of fresh looks and ideas into homes everywhere. Consider incorporating one or all of the following storage trends into your next closet makeover.
- 2 Sides
Couples are sharing more than ever now, all the way down to the closet. What is commonly known as the “His and Hers” closet is apparently all the rage these days, with couples looking to create a system that effectively brings together their belongings and distinctly separates them in a nice clean way.
Typically, His and Hers closets feature a combination of two different kinds of finishes: dark colors like espresso for the man and bright vibrant whites with shiny metals for the woman.
- See through
People really want to see their items at a glance without having to open anything, which is why they’re opting for transparent materials such as Lucite and glass to adorn their closet designs.
Since people are investing in a dream closet, they want to make sure that it truly represents them. See-through materials allow clothing to be displayed similar to how products are shown at exhibitions. Not to mention, they make each and every piece of clothing feel like they’re part of a special collection.
- Lighting
Adding to the idea of making a closet look as glamorous as possible, people are slowly adding LED lighting to their closet systems, especially overhead lights above hanging rods. Lights accentuate certain areas of the closet and are a lifesaver when you can’t differentiate between a navy blue cardigan and a black one.
Of course, LED lighting can be a bit on the pricey side, but it is well worth the investment, as it has the power to turn a boring closet into a personal boutique.

Bigger, Better Walk-in Closets

According to a study done by the world’s leading home remodeling and interior design social network Houzz, homeowners are increasingly redoing their master bedrooms, and almost all of them include a closet renovation. These renovations, more often than not, result in a bigger closet.
What could be the reason for this growing trend of extravagance? People are starting to feel that the closet is a place where they would not mind spending more of their time, since it can be a nice, temporary escape from the responsibilities of work and family life. For instance, people are adding center islands, window seats, benches, and chaise lounges so that they can relax in their walk-ins after those long, stressful days at work and running after the kids.
In addition, there has been a surge in professional organizers and organization methods. In other words, organizing our homes has become a crucial part of our lives. Homeowners are taking notice and investing more in living organized lives themselves.
Lastly, the ability to add customization to their closets has never been hotter. Homeowners want their walk-in closets to feel like a boutique or clothing store and will add features to their designs such as cubbyholes for specific brands and designs of bags, vanity lights for doing make-up, and all sorts of other accessories, including jewelry drawers, belt racks, and pull-out valet rods. Decorative details are becoming more popular as well, with an increased demand for crown moldings and crystal drawer handles.
Our closets have become a non-expendable part of our homes, and their value – both financially and emotionally – should not be underestimated.
