Coat Closet Organization Tips for Busy Families
We put together tips and tricks to maximize storage space for the items in your coat closet. These tiny makeovers are things you can buy and install or DIY with your kids!
Yes, why not make organizing the coat closet a fun family activity. Add wire baskets by the door of your coat closet, for the mail.
A hassle-free way to handle the mail and extra use for the coat closet, right?
Hooks are great for keeping purses, lunch boxes, backpacks, etc. This will catch dirt as everyone pulls their shoes and boots off and keep the space clean. It’s a creative way to add storage space beneath the shoe shelving.
These baskets can hold extra shoes or accessories like winter caps and gloves. This way you can store small items in and keep the coat closet organized. Install towel racks and hooks or shower curtain rings on the coat closet door. They make organizing scarves and other winter wear easy and pretty.
Hang your umbrellas on command hooks so they’re always handy as you walk out the door on a rainy day. With two or three runs of shelving, you’ll have space for everyone’s shoes, including boots.
Add wire racks to keep your gift wrap in the coat closet. Add large hooks behind the coat hangers to hang and arrange scarves.
I like this idea because it puts them out of the way, but it may be a little difficult to sort through your scarves if your closet is crammed full of coats.
I love how the vertical space was used efficiently in this coat closet. Maximize that small room with some shoe cubbies – it doesn’t matter if you buy or DIY. Just add some wood and trim to make them look like built-in shoe cubbies.
This can be the perfect teaching moment for your kids to organize and be responsible for their own little space. Add more baskets in the coat closet for shoe storage. These narrow wire baskets are the perfect size for organizing flip-flops and small canvas shoes.
Create cubbies for purses and accessories by flipping shelves with brackets upside down.
Up a notch and paint it to add color to the coat closet. Add file boxes to store your reusable shopping bags.
Install these boxes on the wall or behind the door of the coat closet. This is a great coat closet organization idea for tiny spaces. And finally, if you don’t have a coat closet, there’s no reason to fret.
If you are the minimalist type, this is a great way to organize your winter essentials in a limited space.
Great idea to paint the rolling cart a bright color like this one. With these coat closet organization ideas, your morning routine will be so much more efficient!
