TONS of beautifully organized closet makeovers with clothing, jewelry and shoe storage.
I’ve got major closet organization on the brain lately! I have most of our smaller closets under control, but I didn’t want to tackle anything permanent in our clothes closets until we lived with them for awhile. I find it helps to see how we use the spaces before doing anything too drastic.
My husband and I are lucky to have our own closets — neither one is HUGE, but they are plenty big for what we need! The key is to make the most of the spaces we have and make them super functional.
Not much else in there functions well, but hey…I have that at least! 😉

They worked REALLY well!
I’m not sure if I would use cabinets again or not…just because the base cabinets are so deep and take up a lot of floor space. If I did, I’d want to install fully extending drawer slides so we could access ALL of the cabinet drawers.
I have a bunch of ideas rolling around in my head for when I decide to tackle my closet, but for now let’s take a look at these awesome DIY closet makeovers from some very talented bloggers!
Build it from scratch
If you have the know-how, a custom closet build will give you all of the functionality and storage you’re dreaming of.

I love the pull out pant hangers — brilliant.
I’m planning to start with my closet and then I’ll tackle my husband’s… you know, when I work out the kinks. That’s what I always say anyway. 😉
Organizing the small stuff
Whenever I see a closet great makeover, the little details are always my favorite part. I love seeing how people organize the small stuff like shoes, jewelry and purses.
