Making the Most of a Small Master Closet

Posted by All About Blinds   |   December 12, 2013

small master closetMany 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

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.
