Put things back where they belong<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As you sort, ask yourself whether each type of item belongs in this closet. You can take hobby supplies, gift wrap and things from a specific room back to that room, your basement or your garage (still, check <a href=\"http:\/\/storagecafe.com\/blog\/here-are-the-things-you-should-not-store-in-your-garage-basement-or-attic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">if they are safe there or not<span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>We recommend keeping your keepsakes, <a href=\"http:\/\/storagecafe.com\/blog\/how-to-keep-your-treasured-photos-safe-and-organized\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">photographs<span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/storagecafe.com\/blog\/guide-to-storing-files-and-documents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">documents<span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> elsewhere too, since a closet near an outside door can get warmer, colder and damper than the rest of your house. After all, your hall closet is one of the most convenient spots in your home, so save it for the things you use often.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Measure-your-shelves-and-your-doorway-separately\"><\/span>4. Measure your shelves and your doorway separately<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This step helps you avoid the most common mistake: buying bins that fit your shelf but not through your door.

Keep your everyday items in the closet space between your waist and shoulders<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is the easiest space for you to reach, so use it for the things you grab daily or weekly: your current jackets, your dog\u2019s leash and a small bin of the cleaning sprays and cloths you use most. Put everything else in a less convenient spot.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-Store-heavy-things-low-and-light-things-high\"><\/span>6. Store heavy things low and light things high<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Put your heavy items, like hand weights or backup bottles of cleaning products, on the floor or the bottom shelf, where you can slide them out instead of lifting them.<\/p>\n<p>To make things easier for yourself, keep your everyday cleaning bin from idea 5 light enough to lift with one hand, and store your heavy refills down low.

Give your vacuum and cleaning tools their own spot on the floor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Your vacuum, broom and mop are often the hardest things to fit, and when they lean against whatever has room, they block everything else you need. Give your vacuum its own spot at the front of the floor, near the door, so you can roll it out without moving anything and make sure to secure it properly, so as to avoid it falling and breaking one of its small plastic parts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep the rest of your tools upright and together:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/broom-clip\/s?k=broom+clip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Clip<span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> your brooms, mops and dusters to the side wall with spring-loaded clips<\/li>\n<li>Store your vacuum attachments in one small bin or a bag hung on the vacuum<\/li>\n<li>Mount a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/wall-mount-cordless-vacuum\/s?k=wall+mount+cordless+vacuum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">wall charger<span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> for your cordless vacuum and run the cord through a small hole in the back of a shelf<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you rent, you can use stick-on clips and a freestanding vacuum stand to hold your tools upright with no drilling. Check your lease before you make holes in walls or shelves.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make-the-most-of-deep-shelves\"><\/span>Make the most of deep shelves<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9-Use-long-bins-as-pull-out-drawers\"><\/span>9. Use long bins as pull-out drawers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Deep shelves hide whatever sits at the back and reaching it means you move everything in front. Long, narrow bins that run from the front of the shelf to the back solve this: you pull out the whole bin, take what you need and slide it back. Still, before you buy, make sure the bin fits through your door as well as on your shelf.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10-Pair-a-back-bin-with-a-front-bin\"><\/span>10. Pair a back bin with a front bin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When a long bin won\u2019t fit your shelf, put things you rarely use in a bin at the back and an everyday bin in front of it. That way you move one bin now and then instead of shuffling everything each time you need something.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11-Choose-pull-out-shelves-if-you-own-baskets-if-you-rent\"><\/span>11. Choose pull-out shelves if you own, baskets if you rent<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sliding pull-out shelves make your deep closet easy to use, but they\u2019re screwed in place. If you rent, it may be smart to invest in sturdy baskets instead, since you can easily move them with you on your next relocation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Organize-coats-and-shoes\"><\/span>Organize coats and shoes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12-Add-hooks-for-the-jackets-you-wear-every-day\"><\/span>12. Add hooks for the jackets you wear every day<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Hooks are faster than hangers, so you and your family use them. If your jackets keep landing on the floor or a nearby chair, a row of hooks along your closet walls can build the habit better than extra hangers. To make things easier for everyone, keep one or two jackets per person on the hooks so your closet stays clear.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13-Hang-everything-else-from-longest-to-shortest\"><\/span>13. Hang everything else from longest to shortest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Use your rod for heavier coats and the ones you wear less often, and hang them on matching sturdy wooden hangers so they keep their shape. When you <a href=\"http:\/\/storagecafe.com\/blog\/5-essential-tips-to-organize-your-coat-closet-like-a-pro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">arrange your coats<span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> from longest to shortest, you open up floor space beneath the shorter ones, which gives you room for a shoe rack or bins.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23948 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2026\/10\/Clothes-hanging-from-longest-to-shortest-in-wooden-wardrobe-at-home.png\" alt=\"Clothes hanging from longest to shortest in wooden wardrobe at home\" width=\"840\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2026\/10\/Clothes-hanging-from-longest-to-shortest-in-wooden-wardrobe-at-home.png 840w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2026\/10\/Clothes-hanging-from-longest-to-shortest-in-wooden-wardrobe-at-home.png?resize=300,184 300w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2026\/10\/Clothes-hanging-from-longest-to-shortest-in-wooden-wardrobe-at-home.png?resize=768,471 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14-Add-a-lower-rod-your-kids-can-reach\"><\/span>14. Add a lower rod your kids can reach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When your children can reach the rod, you are less likely to find stray jackets on the floor. Add an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/closet-lower-hanging-bar\/s?k=closet+lower+hanging+bar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">adjustable hanging rod<span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> that doubles the current one, lower rod to let them hang their own coats inside the closet and thus make your setup last. If you rent, try a spring rod that presses between the walls and needs no screws.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15-Keep-only-this-weeks-shoes-by-your-door\"><\/span>15. Keep only this week\u2019s shoes by your door<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Keep the shoes you wear this week near your door, plus your rain or snow boots when you need them. The rest, put it all back in your bedroom closets or in bins you swap out by season. When you only keep the shoes you wear, you free up more floor space than a new shoe organizer gives you.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16-Pick-the-shoe-rack-that-fits-your-closet\"><\/span>16. Pick the shoe rack that fits your closet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The right shoe rack depends on how much floor space you have and how you use it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go for a <strong>stackable rack with two or three levels<\/strong> if you want to kep it simple. Flat shelves hold boots and heavy shoes steady, and you can add a level when you need more room.<\/li>\n<li>Go for a <strong>slanted rack<\/strong> that holds shoes at an angle if you want you see every pair at a glance and want the rack to take up less depth. Keep tall boots on a flat shelf, since they tip over on a slant.<\/li>\n<li>Get a <strong>tilt-out shoe cabinet<\/strong> if you want to store shoes upright in flip-down drawers. It\u2019s only 6 to 9 inches deep and fits in a shallow closet or right beside the door, so you can anchor it to the wall. Still, check that large sneakers and boots fit before you buy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23961 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2026\/10\/Side-view-of-a-man-taking-a-pair-shoes-from-an-open-white-tilting-shoe-cabinet-in-a-modern-hallway.png\" alt=\"Side view of a man taking a pair shoes from an open white tilting shoe cabinet in a modern hallway\" width=\"840\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2026\/10\/Side-view-of-a-man-taking-a-pair-shoes-from-an-open-white-tilting-shoe-cabinet-in-a-modern-hallway.png 840w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2026\/10\/Side-view-of-a-man-taking-a-pair-shoes-from-an-open-white-tilting-shoe-cabinet-in-a-modern-hallway.png?resize=300,184 300w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2026\/10\/Side-view-of-a-man-taking-a-pair-shoes-from-an-open-white-tilting-shoe-cabinet-in-a-modern-hallway.png?resize=768,471 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Whatever you choose, put your shoe storage under short jackets rather than long coats, and take out any low shelf that blocks your floor.

Treat it as an experiment and watch where your things end up. If your coats keep landing on the floor or a chair, add hooks. If your shoes pile up, try bins. If your family keeps shoving things onto whatever shelf has room, make your groups broader. Once you know what works for your household, you know exactly which containers to buy.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"18-Mix-clear-and-solid-colored-containers\"><\/span>18.
