Two weeks ago I decided that it was time to dig the families winter clothes out of storage. With all of the over-sized coats, sweaters, and scarves my closet always seems to shrink in the winter time. Does anyone else feel the same?
Here are a few great ideas to keep your winter wardrobe organized and keep it from taking over your closet.
Use shower curtain rods to hang and organize your purses. If you don't have any room on your clothing rod try using a small tension rod in an unused nook or even inside a cabinet.

Installing pegboard in your closet will give you so many options. Add a few pegs within your childrens' reach to hang up their gloves and coats. Make room for your umbrella so that you always know where it is. Hang scarves, hats, and so much more.

Glue some clothespins or use screw hooks on a strip of wood for a creative way to organize belts and necklaces. You could also use the clothes pins to hang a small box or basket for chunky bracelets or other items that wont fit the clothespins.

Use wire hangers to organize your shoes and keep them off the floor. Just bend the hangers like the ones in the photo above and decorate with paper or fabric.
Using command hooks (or screw hooks if you don't mind the holes), hang wire baskets on the back of your closet door to store purses, scarves, and other accessories. To save money, search garage sales for older baskets and spray paint them to match your decor.
Using PVC pipe and some rope you can easily add a second clothing bar to you closet. Perfect for small apartments or if you have little kids that can't quite reach the top bar. Another idea would be to use a spring-loaded shower curtain rod allowing you to adjust the height as needed
