Closets often are disorganized because you don’t have the right shelving system for your own personal clothing and closet needs.  With adjustable shelving systems, you can customize your closet to suit your clothes as well as your taste.

Some of the more popular designers and manufacturers include John Louis closet shelving system, Elfa closet shelving system and Schulte.  Before you make your purchase, you’ll want to ensure that you are getting exactly what you need.

The first step to finding the right closet storage system is to measure your closet.  Once you have the dimentions, you’ll be able to assess what can be achieved with the space you have.  Secondly, you want to categorize your clothing into sizes and shapes.  Measuring your longest gown or coat to ensure that you have railings that are high enough to accommodate them as well as accounting for how many pairs of shoes you have, how much hanging space you need versus shelving space.

Another aspect to take into consideration is how many boxes you are going to be placing in your closet.  Some people will prefer to keep hat, shoes and accessories in boxes while others will prefer to have them on shelves or in drawers.  You’ll also have to consider whether you are sharing your closet with someone and what their needs will be.

Once you have established the type of shelving you will need and have assigned a budget, you can start to research some of the brands that have quality adjustable closet shelving systems including such makes as Ikea, Easy Closets, Crate and Barrel, Target, The Container Store and Stacks and Stacks.
