Thankfully, there are still some things we can do to make the best out of our closets, no matter how small they may be. We've compiled a list of tips and tricks you can use to maximize your storage space and keep your closet more organized than ever before!

Clothing Rack

By hanging a clothing rack with your best and most colorful clothes inside your room, you will be more inclined to keep them organized and clean. In addition, this will free up closet space for items such as large coats and fluffy skirts or dresses.

Dividers

Keep your closet organized by using dividers on your shelves or hanging rods. You can sort your clothing however you want, whether it's by color, article, or any other way. There are plenty of cute dividers available online that you can buy, or if you're feeling creative, there are also many DIY tutorials that show you how to make them yourself.

Use Shower Rings To Help Organize Your Scarves.

If you think your shower curtain is useless, get rid of the shower rings and loop all of your scarves through a single hanger instead. To do this, put the shower rings on the rod of the hanger and then thread your scarves through them.

Make Use Of Your Empty Wall Space

Use hooks on your closet door and walls to hang up scarves, handbags, coats etc. This will help keep your closet organized and tidy. Use a laundry bag to throw dirty clothes into when you change so they don't end up scattered across the floor.

Keep Your Shoes Organized With A Shoe Rack

If you want to keep your shoes organized and within reach, invest in a wooden or plastic shoe rack. To avoid them catching dust, store them paper or plastic bags.

Use Drawers to Organize Small Items

Dividing your socks by color and neatly folding them into drawers conserves space so that you can tuck away other items like hair accessories, gloves, leggings, etc.

Don't Leave Any Space Unused

You can use plastic or wicker baskets to separate your winter clothes from the rest of your laundry. You can also put them in different areas of your house so that you know where to find everything. Additionally, they make great laundry baskets because you can easily divide your laundry by color and fabric type.

Select Colors That Work Well Together

Using dividers will help you coordinate the colors of your outfit. To keep your closet organized and stylish, color code your drawers, shoe racks, and clothing bins.

Get Rid Of Clothes You Don't Wear Anymore

Every season, get rid of clothes that are too old or clothes you don't wear anymore. You can donate them to goodwill, ask your friends or family if they want them, cut them up and use them as rags, etc. There's a number of ways they can be utilized instead of hoarding things you'll never wear. All those clothes will do is catch dust and take up space otherwise.

A Place To Hang Your Coat In Your Room.

A coat rack is not only a cute addition to your home, but it's functional too! If you have some big coats that take up a lot of space on your clothes hanging rod, try moving them over to a coat rack. This will help free up some space and give you a place to hang your coats.

Store Your Out-of-Season Clothing At The Top Of Your Closet

The top of many people's closets are often empty and hard to reach, making that space go under-utilized. You can make better use out of it by placing your out-of-season clothes inside big boxes and stacking them in that area. Alternatively, you can also store other items like books you don't want on display up there.

With these tips, hopefully you have a better idea of how to make the most of your closet space!
