You may be saying right now “a fun closet, you must be kidding me!” Yes – you heard that right – not only a fun closet, but also one which is super-useful. While I’ll admit I’m not a magician (and I don’t play one on TV) I do have some tips to rejuvenate your closet which you may not even realize has actually been doomed from being useful from the start.

Ouch – doomed from the start – why is that? The reason most closet are doomed and don’t function well is they were not design for YOU! Most home builders install a “generic closet” with wire shelving or a simple closet rod with a shelf above with nobody in particular in mind.

You and your family are not generic. To have a fun closet which is useful it needs to be designed with you and whomever else you share your walk in closet with. This truth applies whether you’re in Upper Arlington, New Albany, Cleveland or any other place on the map. In your family what you wear is different, how you hang your clothes is different and how big or small you are also makes a difference.

So – how can you make your closet super-useful (with your specific needs and wants in mind) and also fun? Let’s dig into 5 tips.

Tip #1 – Your shoes need to experience lift off!

You need to lift your shoes off the floor right now! Most people’s shoes are strewn around in a haphazard fashion on the floor. The problem with this is two fold. First – you often can’t see the shoes because they are buried by clothing which comes out deeper from the walls than the shoes (note – most shoes are 6” – 12” deep and most clothes which are on hangers come out 23” into the space). Second – why make it tough on yourself having to bend over to get your shoes? Here’s two quick ideas to improve your shoe storage. First go through our shoes and only keep those you love. Then put the shoes behind a “shoe fence” or in a “shoe cubby” at a level where you can see and select them easily.
