The Top Accessories to Optimize Your Reach-In Closet

Importance of Optimizing Reach-In Closets

If you want to keep your wardrobe organized and accessible and you have a small closet, the simple truth is that you need to make the most of the space available. Otherwise, you’ll resort to stuffing the closet, which isn’t helpful or tidy.

Using the right accessories in your reach-in closet system has many advantages:

• Accessories help you use the space more effectively. Say goodbye to cluttered shelves, stuffed drawers, and jam-packed hanging rods.
• You’ll be able to see your items more easily. Imagine the pleasure of reaching in and grabbing exactly what you need without searching.
• It will be easier to use the closet – leaving you more time for other things. Nobody wants to waste time hunting for a specific blouse or pair of shoes. Having a well-organized closet gives you the ability to get in and out quickly.

Essential Accessories for Reach-In Closets

We carry a lot of different accessories for various uses. Not everyone will want or need the same organizers; you’ll work with your designer to figure out which are right for you. Let’s continue the discussion below and talk about which accessories are most useful in a reach-in closet and how to choose the ones that are right for you.

Top Accessories to Optimize Your Reach-In Closet

Here are some of our favorite organizers to consider adding to your small closet system.

• Adjustable Shelving: Rearrange your closet easily to accommodate your changing needs with adjustable shelves.
• Drawer Dividers: It’s easy for small items to get unorganized in a large drawer; dividers will help you categorize these belongings in smaller spaces.
• Hanging Organizers: Hanging organizers take up less horizontal space, and they help keep surfaces clear. Store items, like sweaters and jeans on hanging shelves, for example, and keep your drawers clear.
• Hooks and Racks: Using hooks and wall racks allows you to store items, like hats, belts, scarves, and ties, without taking up valuable drawer and shelf space.
• Pull-Out Bins: If you have items that are hard to hang or fold, such as purses or socks, pull-out bins give you a place to store them.
• Over-the-Door Organizers: You can make the most of your closet space by taking advantage of the area behind a traditional swing-out door.
• Specialty Hangers: Different garments need different hangers. We can help you decide which are right for your lingerie, suits, satin or silk items, and more. The New York Times has a review of some of the hottest hangers for 2024.
• LED Lighting Solutions: Try LED strips under shelves or along the floor to light up dark areas and improve visibility.
  

Tips for Integrating Accessories into Your Closet Design

To choose the right accessories, you’ll want to think about a few different factors:

• Your closet’s size. Most reach-in closet systems are fairly small, so this can limit the number and types of accessories you choose. In a small closet, using hooks, pegs, and adjustable shelves are a great way to add versatility. You can change the layout as you remove and add clothing each season.
• Your lifestyle. If you are a busy professional, a valet rod and plenty of shoe storage might be at the top of your list. If you’re a fashion enthusiast, display shelves and jewelry organizers might come to mind. Families with children often appreciate labeled bins and multifunctional hooks.
• Your belongings. If you have dozens of shoes, you will want to prioritize shoe storage with racks, shelves, and fences. Make sure you have room for your accessories, too; belt racks, hooks for hats, and jewelry drawers are key. Also, I recommend keeping some space set aside for seasonal and specialty items.
