The following twenty-one closet organizer ideas are great in helping you maximize the space of a small closet.
I have a large three-door closet that reaches the ceiling of our bedroom (ours is a first-floor apartment), my husband has his own closet with half the size of mine, and our bed has a header cabinet for more storage, and yet, space is still a problem in our wardrobes. I realized that I can have an even bigger closet, but if I don´t find ways to practically organize our stuff, space will always be an issue. (Update: We have bought a new condo and I´ve since ditched the huge closet for a smaller one.)
Do you also wish you have more space in your closet? Maybe the solution isn´t a bigger closet but functional tools to help you save more space. If you´re thinking of arranging and organizing your wardrobe, these 21 helpful tools and organizers will surely come in handy.
Hangers + Racks for Scarves/Ties/Belts
Closet Accessories 12 Belt Hardwood Hanger
I used to store my belts in drawers. But because I have many belts, some of them were rarely used. When the time came that I had outfits for them, I found out that the folded parts of the belts had peeled off. I´m now a strong advocate for belt hangers.

Hangers + Racks for Boots/Shoes
I find boots really space consuming. If the space in your bedroom can afford to host a boot rack, organizing your boots with hangers is a good idea.
But if yours is a tiny bedroom and racks are a no-no, you can go for this boots hanger instead. It can take up to five boots.
