MIX AND M ATCH THEIR TIPS TO UNLOCK TH E SOLUTIO N FOR YOU
Want the key to smoother mornings and smarter
clothes spending? It’s in your closet. If you
organize it well, you’ll be able to see the clothes
you have, store them properly for longer wear, and
fit a lot more in the same amount of space. (Plus
you’ll know
not
to buy that seventh white blouse).
But what if your closet has nothing but a single
rod? The good news is there are several systems
on the market that let you put shelves, drawers,
bins, and cubbies where there were none—often
in a weekend, without professional help.
To test them out, we had three organizing
experts outfit a 6-foot-wide reach-in closet using
different do-it-yourself closet systems. Each
expert tailored the closet for a different personal-
ity: the folder, the hanger, and the shoe lover. Plus
we gathered the tips, tricks, and product picks that
work wonders in anybody’s closet.
