without Major Renovations


Closet space is at a premium in many homes and apart-
ments. Many older homes were not built to accommodate
large wardrobes, while rental properties are often designed
to maximize living space at the expense of storage.
Closets vary depending
on the size of the home, but
many tend to be a minimum
of 24 inches deep so they
can store garments without
the clothes brushing against
the walls. Bedroom and hall-
way closets can be four feet
in length or more. Walk-in
closets are the largest op-
tions, but such spaces tend
to only be available in mod-
ern homes or custom-built
properties.
It is not always practical or
possible to undergo renova-
tions to create more closet space. Apart from moving to a
new residence, homeowners or renters must evaluate the
space they have and make some more efficient choices in
how they utilize available areas.
Clear out clutter
The first step to more closet space is to eliminate unused
items. Clothing that no longer fits or items that can be stored
elsewhere should be removed from the closet. Donate as
much as possible. Some organizations will even pick up do-
nations at your convenience.
Upgrade hangers and rods
Replace existing hangers with slimmer, more uniform al-
ternatives that more easily fit into your closet. In addition,
remove empty hangers, which are likely just taking up space.
Consider dual closet rods if space will allow them. Hang
