Many of us dream of having a huge, walk-in master closet, maybe even with his and hers sides, but often times our current home, especially if it was built prior to the 1990s, does not fit perfectly into that dream. In this case, the next best thing is to figure out how to make the most of your small master closet!
Good Riddance
Attempt to get rid of any unnecessary clutter. Donate old shoes, clothes, belts, ties, and other closet items that you have not worn in the last year to a charity. This way, you know what you have in your closet, you have gotten rid of the clutter, and you can begin to get organized!
Open Up
Oftentimes changing out the door is a great way to add more room to your closet. Pocket doors or even barn-style, sliding doors can offer a way to save space, not just in your closet, but also in your room. These types of doors also allow you to access the smallest of nooks and crevices in your closet without having to go around the accordion doors, which are less attractive.
If you cannot change out your doors, simply remove them, and find a stylish curtain rod and curtains. To make the space appear large and draw your eye upward, place them farther above the closet opening and purchase 84” curtains or larger depending on your ceiling height.
Go Vertical
One of the greatest ways to save space in a closet is by purchasing a closet system that will use all of the vertical space your closet has to offer. Closet systems help you to not only stay organized but more easily access your clothes, shoes, accessories, and anything else you might be storing from floor to ceiling.
In addition, a variety of built-in closet systems exist. Some are for the “do it yourself” people and others are designed for contractors to install for you. No matter which one you choose, figure out what will maximize your space by identifying what you actually need, such as more drawers, shoe space, storage, or hanging space. Once you have identified what your needs are, get started with the installation.

Matching Hangers
A great way to de-clutter your small master closet is to get matching wooden or plastic hangers. This will create a more visually organized look and maximize the use of your hanging space. Custom closets can be taken to the next level if matching hangers are added to the equation.
Lighting
Lighting is another great way to help you better use your small master closet. This can help you stay organized, keep the clutter to a minimum, and use your space without having to rummage through the dark.
Shoes
Oftentimes, shoes take up the most floor space in your closet and can visually clutter the look of your closet. You have a few options in order to get the truly custom closet you desire. Various places sell shoe cabinets, which can be located in another area of the house, such as the entryway (using the top as a table). Or, you can purchase a custom closet system that has a built-in to help organize your shoes. Many places in the Jacksonville area offer various options for shoe organization and All About Blinds can help you find what you need. Either way, this is one of the biggest facelifts you can give your closet and it can help you maximize the use of your space.
Overall, you have a variety of choices in order to make the most of your master, use your imagination and get started!
