Holiday Overload: Helpful Hints on How to Install a Closet Organizer
By Jesse Whitehead

With the holidays among us, you have the inevitable anxiety of "where am I going to put all of this stuff?" If you are the type unwilling to replace the old with the new, organizing and blending your new holiday booty can be a daunting task. Of course, you have the option of procrastinating and storing your new things for next several months until you have the time to properly asses your space situation, but wouldn't it be easier to plan ahead?

Your closet is the one place in your house where you are likely to put all things out of sight or out of the way. Good intent of course, but those "out of sight" items sure do add to the clutter in your closet. If you find that, your closet is a mess and in need of serious straightening, you can expand your useable space by installing a closet organizer. Take your time, and plan well to make the most of the space you are going to use.

Here are some things you will need to get started:

1) a paper (to draw out your plan of what you are going to do in your closet)

2) a level (to mark where you want to put more shelves, drawers, rods, and so forth).

Measure the space in your closet. You'll need to measure depth, width, and height of the closet, and also carefully measure the doorway and any odd size areas such as corners, ceilings, etc. Record on your paper the dimensions you measured and draw a simple sketch of the closet layout. Be sure to include all relevant information about the space that you think you will need to accurately choose a system that will fit your closet size. organizer.

Your written plan will be your guide when you go to look for closet organizer systems at your local home supply store. Closet organizers come in a variety of configurations and materials, such as plastic, wire, wood, and various combinations of these materials.

For ease of installation, choose shelving that is pre-cut, or buy a pre-fabricated kit that will to fit within the dimensions you have measured and recorded on paper. While you can buy the material to cut and assemble yourself, the prefab pieces are likely comparable in price and quality. And the ready-made kits will most certainly take much less time to assemble than anything you might build from scratch.

After you have selected and purchased your organizer, the fun part begins. It will take some effort and time on your part to assemble and install the system, but should not be too difficult for anyone who is moderately handy with tools. Be sure to read the installation instructions carefully, as it is your guide for putting it all together in the proper order. Once you have installed the system and hung your clothes, you will be astonished at how much stuff you can put in your closet, and you will wonder how you ever lived without it!
