Clear The Clutter With A Kids Closet Organizer

By Jesse Whitehead

If you have kids, you may feel like it's a losing battle trying to keep their closets clean. Kids have an abundance of toys, games, and clothes that always seem to end up lost in a jumbled mess somewhere in the closet. "There must be a better way..." you tell yourself.

Good News: There is a better way to organize your children's "stuff." 

Kid's closet organizers are made for that very purpose - to organize the kid’s closets. Most closets are not designed for children's storage. Even the adult closets are poorly designed with only one hanging rod and one shelf on which to put things. This leaves a lot of wasted space that cannot be used! A kid’s closet organizer will solve the problem of inadequate storage space and help you organize your child's closet neatly and efficiently.

You'll be pleased to find that closet organizers for children come in traditional white and wood colors, as well as bright, fun colors that kids love.  Organizers are made with the same kinds of materials as regular organizers - wood, wire, plastic, laminate, and cloth. You can buy complete do-it-yourself kits, or individual components such as shelves, hanging rods, shoe racks, etc.

Determine exactly what you need beforehand.  Do you just need a few more shelves and hanging rods? Then buy individual pieces. Do you need a complete storage system to organize everything from top to bottom? Then a kit would be most appropriate.

A kid’s closet organizer need not be that expensive, although you can spend a great deal of money if you desire. There is a lot to choose from price-wise: You can get an inexpensive plastic or wire system or you can opt for a wood system that costs much more. What you decide is up to your personal preferences and your budget.

Systems are available online and at your local home improvement store.  But before you buy, remember to carefully measure all dimensions - width, length, height, and any odd shapes or hard to reach areas. Then pencil out a sketch of the closet on a notepad. Next, take your measurements with you to the store and look for a knowledgeable sales person who can help you find the system fitting your dimensions.

Straighten your kid’s closet in no time. When you find an organizer that meets your needs, you can either pay a professional installer to put it in, or you can do-it-yourself. Whichever you decide to do, you can be sure that once the closet organizer is in place, you can straighten your kid’s closet in no time. Be sure to train your child how to put away their things in the proper places so it will stay organized in the future.
