How to Keep Your Closet Uncluttered and Accessible

Keeping your closet tidy and organized can be overwhelming without the proper closet accessories to keep the clutter at bay. 

There are many solutions to keep your items well-kept and easy to find, whether you have a stand-alone wardrobe or a custom walk-in closet.

Here are some tips and ideas for incredible closet accessories and organizers that you can install to clear the clutter: from handbag storage and closet jewelry organizers to belt racks and more.

Organize Your Closet with Our Accessories and Solutions

Purse Storage

Dedicating a space in your closet to store your purses and handbags makes a world of difference in your closet organization. Some purse storage ideas include:

  • Installing extra shelving just for your purses. This not only prevents them from getting lost among your clothing and other items but allows you to put the special ones on display. 
  • Pull-out smart shelves inside cabinets are also a good option for storing your handbags as they can be hidden neatly away behind a closed door.
  • Decorative storage bins are another way to keep purses neat – maybe organize them by size, colour or use.
  • For larger closets or for display within your bedroom, have a custom display cabinet with glass doors and built-in LED lighting installed by Incredible Home.

Valet Rods

Valet rods are a great addition to any closet, and once you’ve had them, you won’t want to go back. 

  • Valet rods are simply an additional clothing rod that can be extended (pulled out)  from the framework of the closet organizer.
  • These rods are ideal for hanging tomorrow’s work wear or that special combination of matching garments for a night out.
  • Perfect for putting together items as you pack for your trip.
  • Great for doing a quick steam on clothes.
  • Ideal for sorting out the dry cleaning (and stripping off the plastic cover).

Closet Jewelry Organizer

Jewelry can easily get lost or damaged if it is not well organized. Closet jewelry organizers keep everything in one place, and add a layer of security as precious items are out of sight. closet accessories

  • Add an acrylic jewelry drawer with a velvet liner. These trays are compartmentalized so you can keep different types of jewelry separate: from earrings, bracelets, necklaces and rings; all your trinkets and baubles can be securely stored while minimizing the risk that they’ll get lost in a mess. 
  • Our flocked lined double jewelry drawer looks like a regular drawer until you open it and discover an additional tray within the same space but doubling your storage.

Belt and Scarf Storage

Don’t let your belts and scarves take over your closet space. Get a handle on them with specially designed storage solutions: 

  • A dedicated belt rack can be added to end panels or long hanging sections in your closet. Belts hang by the pop-out hooks, keeping them organized and straight and easy to find.
  • A scarf rack is basically a belt rack but used for scarves instead. There are also our 6-hole valet which is great to feed nylon scares through. This makes it easy to select one without messing through them all.
  • There are also specific tie racks for closets that will keep your tie collection tidy, wrinkle-free and ready to go. Have one mounted in the dress shirt or suit jacket section for a simple, smart storage solution.

Pull-out Pant Racks

Keeping your pants on a pull-out pant rack keeps each pair separate to prevent the mess and creases that can come with layering over a hanger or storing on shelves.

  • Access your pants easily without compromising closet space for your other clothing items, especially those that need to be hung. 
  • You will also free up shelving space for bulkier items that need to be folded and stored, such as chunky knit sweaters.

Divide Your Drawers

When you need to place multiple items in one drawer space, dividers can help to keep things organized.

  • Drawers that include built-in dividers make it easier for anything you’re keeping in your drawers to stay in their respective spots, making them easy to find.
  • Compartmentalize everyday necessities like underwear, socks, bras or undershirts. 
  • Use drawer dividers to differentiate between types of underwear, types of socks or whatever you have to organize. The more you organize your closet, the easier it will be to keep it from cluttering.
