Six Ideas for Creating an Organized and Pretty Closet

March 17, 2021 By Juliet 39 Comments

Today I’m joining a group of amazing bloggers to talk about closet organization and styling!

Jewelry Organizers & Closet Shirts

Can you believe they invited me to participate in their design series again?

Pinch me!

You’ll find all their blog links at the end of this post. So, be sure to visit each and every one!

Closet organization! A subject near and dear to my heart.

Nothing makes me happier than an organized closet. Ok … a trip to Paris makes me happier, but you know what I mean.

I recently reorganized Snowberry’s master closet.

When we moved in, just over a year ago,

I unloaded all of our clothes as fast as I could so that our movers could take the wardrobe boxes away.

Then I got busy unpacking the rest of the house.

At the beginning of the year, I realized it was time to revisit the closet in order to make it function better for us.

Our closet isn’t tiny, but it’s not one of those large, luxurious Pinterest-worthy closets either.

I wanted to maximize our storage space while being able to see and easily access everything. Oh, and make it look nice too.

With this in mind, here are my six ideas for creating an organized and pretty closet.

This post includes affiliate links for your convenience at no additional cost to you. You can read my full disclosure policy here.

Custom Closet Dresser

No. 1 – EDIT

This past year has taught me a lot of things. Not the least of which is I don’t need (wear) about 90% of my wardrobe. Exaggeration? Perhaps, but not by much.

A year into varying stages of lockdown, most of us have cleaned our closets and donated, sold or tossed things we no longer need or use. It’s really an ongoing process of asking the questions … do I love it? Do I wear it? Does it fit? If the answer is no … out it goes. I keep a basket in the garage to accumulate items for donation.

I don’t wear theses shoes, but I love them so they stay!

Stillettos

Hello Girls!

No. 2 – MAXIMIZE YOUR SPACE BY ADDING SPACE SAVERS

Uniform Hangers

Slim, velvet covered hangers not only help maximize space but look nice too. I use them for tops and dresses.

I group hanging pieces in sections. Dresses & Skirts, Tops and Pants. Then I group by color and sleeve length. For example, sleeveless, cap sleeve, three-quarter sleeve, long sleeve.

For pants, I use a traditional wooden hangers with a no-slip grip.

Jim keeps his good shirts on their hangers from the dry cleaner. Sorry.

Walk in closet

Shoe Boxes

Clear shoe boxes protect your shoes from dust AND allow you to OWN MORE SHOES! My shelves are spaced to accommodate three shoe boxes up and across … that’s nine pair of shoes per shelf. Hello?!

I use a standard shoe box for most of my shoes. For booties and Jim’s shoes I use a men’s shoe box size.

Clear Plastic Shoe Boxes

Acrylic Organizers

I bought two different acrylic organizers for my clutch and evening bags that fit perfectly in our Fidalgo Island closet. How lucky am I that they work in this space too … one on top of the other. I can’t remember where I found them … they came from two different places. The Container Store has similar options here and here.

Acrylic Organizer for Bags

Jewelry Organizers

I’m a fan of jewelry drawer inserts. California Closets makes the best. Our drawers are a custom (ahem … weird) size, so I’m using a variety of shapes and sizes from the Container Store’s Stackers collection. It’s a bit like piecing together a puzzle.

Jewelry Drawer Organization

These Kendra Scott jewelry t-bars are a recent addition. I ordered them in antique silver. They come in rose gold and antique brass too. I use the large bar for necklaces and the small bar for bracelets.

Jewelry Trees

Robe Hooks

We added two-pronged robe hooks in all four corners of our closet. These came from Restoration Hardware and you can find similar hooks here and here.

Robe hooks are not just for robes. I use mine for scarves, bags and long necklaces.

Jim uses his to hold lanyards from big events he’s attended. It’s fun to see them every day and remember when we could go to sports events and concerts. I hope we’ll be doing that again soon.

Bags & scarves on hook

Baskets

Catch-all baskets are always a win win … pretty on the shelf and great for items not needed every day and/or unruly to store.  I keep my casual summer sandals in this lidded basket and belts (that are rarely worn) on an upper shelf.

Woven, lidded basket

Closet Hardware/Accessories

Valet pulls, belt and tie racks and the previously mentioned robe hooks are great additions to any closet.

Jim and I each have a valet pull … great for holding clothes just back from the cleaners and planning the next days outfit.  Remember when we used to do that?!

Oops, I forgot to take photos.

SHOP CLOSET ORGANIZERS – 

No. 3 – USE EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY

Fun Fact

The idiom ‘nook and cranny’ originated in the 14th century and it combines ‘nook’,

being used from mid-1300’s which means – a distant corner,

with ‘cranny’ in usage since 1440 which means – a crack or gap.

 

In the shelf below my blouses, I squeezed in five pair of flats.

Closet Shelf

 

On the shelf above are some of my frou frou shoes. Will I ever wear them again? Who knows … but they make me happy. Plus, they were an investment and I’m keeping them. They’re décor!

High Heels on a Shelf

 

And, more clear shoe boxes stacked on the shelf below my hanging pants.

Clear Shoe Boxes

 

The larger shelves above our dresser hold my bags. I love straw bags. Can you tell?

Bags on a Shelf

 

No. 4 – FOLD LIKE MARIE KONDO

Early on in quarantine, at the encouragement of my niece, I tried the Marie Kondo file-folding method. I started with t-shirts and soon I Kondo’d everything. It’s amazing how much more can fit into a drawer. A year later I’ve been able to maintain the folding system and I’m hooked.

Marie Kondo File-Folder Fold

 

Marie is also big on drawer dividers for all things and I found these mix and match organizers at the Container Store. It’s funny how our needs change, a year ago who knew we needed space for mask storage?

No. 5 – CREATE VIGNETTES

If you have the space, create a vignette or two to display pretty things like a favorite bag, scarves, books, framed photos and other meaningful pieces. Not only will it elevate your space, but it creates a boutique like feel that will make you smile each time you open your closet door.

I made room for two little vignette moments …

A tray is always a good idea. Grouping items makes them look and feel more special. It’s true that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

This pretty silver tray holds a previous photo of our beloved dog, Sasha. Seeing her pretty face in the morning gets my day off to a good start.

I also added a Wedgewood bowl as a trinket dish, a candle and a pretty scarf. Oh, and an extra pair of reading glasses. Can’t have too many of those hanging around.

Dresser Tray Vignette

 

Another fun vignette idea … books on style, a special bag and a fancy shoe box. Voila!

Closet Shelf, Bag, Books, Hat

No. 6 – ZHUSH IT UP

If you can, a beautiful light fixture, a statement rug and a chair, bench or ottoman create a boutique like feel in your closet. A full-length mirror is nice too.

Walk in closet

I’m glad we opted for a full-length mirror rather than more shelf or hang space. Although additional clothes storage would be nice, having a tall, wide mirror makes the closet feel bigger and brighter. We also added a mirror over the dresser.

We don’t have room for a bench or ottoman … but this cute jute pouf from our last house works well. It makes a perfect perch to put on shoes or rub Pippa’s tummy. It’s also a great step stool when I need to reach the upper shelves. Let’s be honest, it’s most likely to hold the clothes I wore yesterday.

Closet Organization

The blue and gray runner from Caitlyn Wilson is another hold over from our Fidalgo Island house. I’m so glad I saved and stored it because it works beautifully in our closet. Pippa recommends it too.

Closet lighting is everything and I adore these blingy flush mounts. Our contractor was concerned they wouldn’t create enough good light. Relax grasshopper. Not my first rodeo. I used these lights in our last closet and they’re fabulous. I chose the polished silver finish and they’ve already started to tarnish creating a lovely patina.

Adding art would be nice too.

Oh, hey there … I’m just hanging out in the garden wearing a cute dress from Target!

It has a smocked waistband and shoulder detail.

It comes in several pretty colors and I ordered it in black and white check too.

I added a cashmere cardigan because it’s still a little chilly.

Looks like this will be my Easter outfit.

    So many great ideas! I have a teeny tiny closet. I need to get in there and get rid of a bunch of things we no longer need.
    I have that black and white check Target dress and love it.

    This was a terrific and very timely post. We have just moved (again), and my new closet definitely needs to be taken to a different level. At least, once the boxes are unpacked. Great ideas here! (By the way, I was born and raised in Orinda, so always enjoy hearing about where you are shopping and such. Moved to New Orleans 20+ years ago, and your blog gives me a wonderful taste of my past.)

I love the idea of the acrylic dividers and the boxes for shoe storage. I have a feeling in my new rental abode my shoes are going to have to go under the bed! Thanks so much for joining us and sharing your beautiful closet!

Your priority is probably more about displaying and storing all your beautiful jewelry! xo

    Hi Juliet, y
    Your closet looks like a very exclusive boutique! Everything is beautifully organized and you have some really pretty clothes, and shoes, and bags! I like your glamorous lighting, the rug, and the mirrors add a lot of light and interest to the space, plus they are practical.
    We have a really huge closet, but the ceiling is a little lower than standard because we added the space on under a room that has a step down floor. So, we had to be creative with hanging rods and shelves etc. But I love having plenty of space. Now if only I had some really fancy stuff to put in the closet! What I do have I mostly wear regularly, and I cull my clothing pretty often, but I cant’ seem to reduce the amount of workout clothing or my scarves! All kept in bins or upstairs in a dresser.
    Thanks for sharing your pretty closet with us!
    XO Heidi

      Hi Heidi! I’m so envious of your big closet space … low ceiling or not having that extra hanging space is everything. I love scarves too but just did a major reduction. It was painful. And, I think I might have more workout wear than needed (or used) but somehow I didn’t tough that drawer when editing. Haha. Thanks for stopping by! xo

    Thank you for this blog post! Very informative and useful! I have already placed some orders for new hangers and drawer dividers for my Mari Kondo’d t-shirts and sweaters. I had previously done an edit and already have some of the elements you mention, but love the additional ideas I discovered in your post. A couple of valet poles are also on the way! Our ‘Dressing Room’ has a similar footprint to yours but where you have a full length mirror, we have a sliding door into the master bath. Thank you again for the inspirational post!

I need to organize my closet, I wanted to do a deep clean this year and get rid of everything that I had not worn for a year but I would be left with nothing because all I have worn this year is yoga clothes. I will have to tackle that challenge once life gets back to some sort of normalcy.

The lidded baskets is a good idea on those top shelves. I need those and a few other things you have used so cleverly here. I have my panama hat on top of my jeans too.so funny. Your Target dress is beautiful on you. Looks perfect for Easter! Really enjoyed this post. xo Kim

Cocktails anyone?! It’s Friday ... traditionally Cocktails anyone?! It’s Friday ... traditionally cocktail night at Snowberry. Not tonight. But not to worry, I have cocktail recipes. You know I'm all about weddings (did you read my all-secrets-revealed blog post about @zzzissou and @melodymakhfi wedding? Linked in profile. 😉.) ... so today I'm sharing recipes for Kyle and Melody's signature cocktails.

Hers - Jalapeno Margarita with a Tajin rim (a must, says the bride)

1.5 oz Blanco tequila
Juice of two limes
1 tsp Agave nectar
1 Jalapeno (seeds & ribs removed)
Tajin rimming salt
Lime wedge rim glasses
Jalapeno & lime slice for garnish

Rub lime wedge around rim of glass. Dip rim into Tajin rimming salt. And fill with ice. Muddle jalapeno in cocktail shaker. Add ice, tequila, lime juice and agave. Shake vigorously. Strain into prepared glass. Garnish with jalapeño and lime slices.

His - Old Fashioned (Jim loves an Old Fashioned too, like father like son)

1.5 oz Bourbon
1 sugar cube
A few dashes Angostura bitters
A few dashes of water
Orange slice & cocktail cherry for garnish

Place sugar cube in old fashioned glass, add bitters & water. Muddle until dissolved. Fill glass with ice. Add bourbon. Gently stir. Garnish with orange slice (or zest) and cocktail cherry.

Cheers to you, the happy couple and the weekend! 🥃

This week I'm extolling the virtues of cinnamon raisin toast. But not just cinnamon raisin toast. A favorite blogger’s new book. You won't believe this but she recently bought a house in our old @myfidalgoislandhome neighborhood? A new-to-me interior design podcast. And inexpensive but well made serving platters ... essential for summer entertaining. Last but not least what my dermatologist recommended for my dry skin.

Holy moly … it’s 43 degrees this morning. Temp Holy moly … it’s 43 degrees this morning. Temps plummeted last night. I guess it’s a typical spring swing. I’m going to take advantage and have my  cocoa in the library. We rarely use this room which is a real shame. Our sweet pups are no longer allowed inside. Dark velvet sofas and white dogs don’t mix. Not true, they do mix … a little too well. 😒 Anyway, they whine outside the door if I go in there. Jim will distract them with toast in his office and I should be good for a short time.

Yesterday I put two open house tours on Reels. I’m still learning and forgot there’s a 60 second limit. The outdoor spaces of the cute 1929 cottage got cut off. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I used a heavier hand editing the second house so it fits … mostly. Anyway, I’m sure you appreciate a more edited version. 😆 I tend to talk, write and record more than is necessary. As Jim says, when you’ve made the sale stop talking. 🤷‍♀️ I visited a 3rd house as well and need to work on it. New open house rule … one per week! 😉

Good morning and Happy Monday! 💙

That's what matters, right?!

Kim and Elizabeth are bringing it with some really cool stuff. I learn so much from them on Saturday mornings and it's really a joy to be part our weekend trio. 

What you up to this Mother's Day weekend? I'm making a mad dash to the craft store to put the finishing touches on a gift for Jim's mom.  And I think I'll snip a few roses from Rosella to take to the cemetery when I visit my mom. It's really hard for me to clip flowers ... I don't know why. But I'm determined to do more and enjoy them in vases throughout Snowberry.

Happy weekend, friends! You can hop over to our blogs through the link in our profiles.

Happy weekend, friends! I'm planning our main bath Happy weekend, friends! I'm planning our main bathroom reveal soon. But today it's Weekend Meanderings with Kim and Elizabeth. I just finished reading their posts ... as usual it's all great stuff. Kim's finds this week include a must-have little black dress, unique vases, healthy recipe ideas and more. Elizabeth has a floral theme going on, with Mother's Day in mind. In fact all our posts are packed with Mother's Day gift ideas. The links in our profiles will take you straight to the blogs. 

It's a beautiful weekend here in Northern California. After walking the dogs we're headed out on a lifestyle tour ... five amazing homes opening their garden gates to share their outdoor entertaining style. I can't wait. I've got a couple of open houses on the agenda too.

Wishing you a fabulous week and see you over on the blog!
