Stack your things
Stacked open-front bins are perfect for when you have a lot of height to work with and don’t want to include any extra shelves. They’re an easy fix for hectic mornings when you just want to reach in and grab whatever you want in seconds.
Stacked bins are also easy to divide your clothes by season because they’re easy to switch around. For instance, optimizing closet space can mean using a bottom container where you can store your heavy sweaters in the wintertime.
And the one on top can have lighter sweaters which you’ll be wearing the rest of the year. Drop-front shoe boxes are also easy to stack since you won’t need to undo the entire pile to grab the pair you want.
Make better use of the upper shelf
Of course, you always have the option of optimizing closet space by stacking storage bins on the upper shelf of your closet.
But you should also consider a shelf divider, which will turn the space into little cubbies so your accessories and clothes are easy to see and grab.
You can also use them to divide your stacks of folded clothing so they don’t topple over each other and create a huge mess. Or, they can keep your handbags accessible and upright.
And once you’ve separated the top shelf, purchase a three-pack of foldable storage bins to organize the smaller items in your closet.
