It's important to utilize every single corner of your closet, and your door is no exception! You can purchase beautiful (and practical) mats for hanging jewelry or simply hammer in a few nails to add instant storage for any small items.

3. Use the hanger trick to figure out which clothes you should donate.

At the start of the year, face all your hangers out. After you wear something, put it back in your closet, but reverse the direction of your hangers. At the end of the year, whichever hangers are still facing outward, donate the shirts attached!

4. Take advantage of your tall closet by putting in an inexpensive bookshelf.

A lot of times closets are extremely tall, but most people don't take advantage of that extra space. To solve that, purchase an inexpensive bookshelf to utilize the space and get things you rarely use out of the way.

5. Get your heels out of the way by installing inexpensive crown molding!

Just because it's called a towel rack doesn't mean that's all it's good for! Install a few in your closet to hang items that don't necessarily need to take up valuable hanger space.

11. Use removable chalkboard labels to keep everything organized.
