Preparation

Some people dream of closets filled with designer clothes and shoes while other dream of simply having a closet neat enough that they can actually find their clothes and shoes. If you’re in the latter camp (no judgment here!), then a closet system is the solution you need. Closet organizing systems are key to keeping your wardrobe, shoes, and accessories orderly. Whether you’ve got a roomy walk-in closet or a tiny corner in your studio apartment, there are a variety of different closet systems that can help you maximize whatever amount of space you have.

Of course, any organized closet gets its start with a good decluttering session. Once you successfully weed out things you don’t use or wear anymore—like that broken vacuum or those old concert T-shirts from 10 years ago—you will be able to see how much you still have and what type of storage system you need.

We’ve done some of the leg work for you and whittled the storage search down to 11 of the best closet systems based on a variety of features and purposes. Happy organizing!
