Jill Waage with Better Homes and Gardens. At first glance, all bedroom closets may appear to be created equal, but like many things in life, it's what's on the inside that really counts. We've outfitted 1 basic closet to meet the needs of 2 on-the-go individuals. Instead of 2 hanging bars to organize his wardrobe of shirts and pants, we

Just press down on the tab to open. First side of the closet also features wall-mounted drawers for folded garments. Using solid-framed drawers means she could have a small vanity area. It's perfect for trying on jewelry and other finishing touches. In addition to more cubbies to put all of her footwear, her side also includes acrylic shoe boxes, but these are sized for her shoes, and even include a special slot for extra high heels. And rather than sacrificing limited space inside the closet to long-hanging garments, an over-the-door rack holds her favorite dresses and long coats. 2 people sharing 1 small space requires clever strategies to keep both parties happy. In this closet , vertical dividers keep garments organized by types and by person. To gather laundry for 2 people, place a hamper in an accessible spot. This door-mounted canvas bin is a great way to squeeze in a hamper when floor space is limited. Make the most of upper shelves in a shared closet by labeling the bottoms of the containers so they are easier to read, and by including a step stool so everyone can easily get purses, extra beddings, or off-season clothing. Sharing a closet requires some creativity, but with a little planning and some great storage add-ons, you can transform an ordinary closet into a smart storage space for 2. For Better Homes and Gardens, I'm Jill Waage.

your favorite room in your house, would you say, well, it's my closet ? Probably not. So grab your pens and paper because I've transformed this small closet into a great storage space. It's packed with great ideas from top to bottom, and it's even pretty. The opportunities for storage in this 7 X 9 foot closet are endless. Semi-custom kitchen cabinetry was used throughout to create functionality and a uniform look. A cabinet originally designed for a food pantry is re-purposed into shelves for folded clothing and linen. Pull-out trays lined with drawer organizers and shallow storage boxes are the perfect size for storing belts, scarves, and other accessories. A window lets a splash of natural light into the closet that brightens the room and makes finding your favorite shirt easy. The window seat is a comfy place to sit while getting ready. An upper cabinet was placed beneath the window, now, it's the perfect place to store handbags and extra blankets. We brought in carpet tiles to make the walk-in closet feel cozy and warm on the foot. Who wants to fumble around in the morning? Glass panel doors on select cabinetry makes finding necessities simple, and stacked closet rods mounted between cabinetry units maximize hanging space. Replacing a mismatch of hangers with a row of wooden ones is an easy

Hop to it. If you use these great storage ideas in your closet , it might just be your favorite room in your house. I'm Jenny Wright with Storage Magazine.
