Favorite Closet Storage

2 / 2 / 225 / 1 / 22

We can’t all be lucky enough to have a giant closet. These days all you see on social media are these beautiful dream closets with floor to ceiling storage and gorgeous chandeliers. However, many of us (myself included) have to make do with an average size closet. Over the years I have lived in many different style houses. I have to say my husband and I love old houses with all the charm but none of the closet space!

Therefore, I have had to learn to get creative to max out my storage space. Also, I have learned that you don’t need as many clothes as you think you do! Weeding things down to what you truly love and wear is half the battle of having an organized and streamlined closet.

I wanted to share one of my absolute favorite storage solutions for a small closet. It is truly a game changer! I have used this in multiple houses for my own closet and used for clients as well.

It is called the Elfa Start a Stack and you can find it at the Container Store. There are a few different versions once you start looking at Elfa but one of the things I like about the start a stack is that it is a freestanding tower of drawers. It is perfect for rentals and small spaces. So if you are someone that likes an easy solution that can be assembled in less than 30 minutes then this is it! It does come in a few different widths so you want to measure your space but I have found the depth perfect for a small closet and the height as well. It slips perfectly under your hanging clothes so that you basically have a built in dresser under there maximizing all that space.

I actually do not own a dresser anymore and use these drawers for anything I don’t want to hang. Leggings, workout wear, pajamas, casual tees, scarves, lingerie, lounge wear…It makes putting away your laundry a breeze! I file fold or roll most of my stuff so that it is easy to see and grab.

These also work great in kids closets! And there is a taller version you can buy and use to max out that wasted vertical space. You can also use it to store kids clothes, toys and craft supplies. The best part is the kids can easily find things and easily help put them away.

The start a stack is such a multipurpose storage solution. It’s great in any closet, pantries, laundry rooms, craft spaces, kids homework spaces.. the possibilities are endless. If its a little over your budget just keep an eye out for the Elfa sales which run multiple times each year!

Closet Updates And Outfit Styling

I have been helping women organize their closets for over 15 years, yet there is one common theme: many women are frustrated with the state of their closets and wardrobes. Looking at your closet with a fresh perspective and an objective opinion can make all the difference, yet you don’t have to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe to achieve these goals!

For example, most women have plenty to wear already in their closets, and more often than not, rediscovering enjoyment in choosing what you wear is really just a matter of editing and styling your current wardrobe to create new looks and inspire confidence.

Therefore, having a professional to provide an objective opinion and give advice to help you move forward, can make a big difference in helping you simplify and curate your current wardrobe.

The Process

  • Goal is to create a more functional and streamlined closet
  • Help you to make decisions on which clothes to sell or donate
  • Create shopping lists to help fill in any missing “holes” in your wardrobe
  • Mix and match existing wardrobe to create and style new looks
  • Create outfits that fit your lifestyle
  • Assist with packing for trips
  • Organize your closet in a way that is beautiful and easy to maintain
  • Shop your closet

The benefits of a streamlined closet

  • Be inspired to look your best
  • Build your confidence
  • Eliminate decision fatigue
  • Save money and time spent on shopping
  • Have some outfits styled and ready to wear
  • Love your clothes again
