Closet Organizing for a Beautiful Tidy Space

I absolutely loved helping this Denver woman organize her new closet. She was working out of state and gave me free reign to unpack and make her closet look beautiful, including getting all matching hangers. So you know I geeked out and had a blast. I get so happy when I look at these photos. 🙂

Closet Organizing That Transforms a Dressing Room

This Castle Pines client was such a pleasure to work with. We had so much fun purging and then organizing her beautiful dressing room. And I'm not gonna lie... I definitely have closet envy!

Primary Closet Organizing for a Functional Space

Closets are one of my favorite spaces to organize. And this closet in Denver was no exception. Like many of my clients, this homeowner wanted to start from scratch. They desperately needed shoe storage and drawers. After coming up with a design that maximized every inch of space, we had it installed and then got to the fun part of putting everything away. Quite a difference, don’t you think?

Closet Organizer Creates A Stylish and Tidy Solution

This tween's closet was in need of a major makeover. The single rod and shelf just wasn't cutting it. She needed drawers, shoe storage and a little vanity area. Once the new design was installed, I had a blast getting everything organized and "just so." The reveal was amazing — the look on her face when she saw her new closet was priceless!

Closet Organizing: From Chaos to Calm

I had so much fun designing and then organizing this pre-teen's closet. Because she has doors that open out versus sliding doors, we were able to add door racks to maximize every inch of this reach-in closet. We put hanging at the top and shoe shelves on either side of the drawers. What a fun project!

Closet Organizing That Works For Daily Life

People hire professional organizers for many different reasons. It's not always about decluttering. This closet organizing project was so very special for me. My client is starting to suffer from memory problems and getting dressed and putting clothes away was causing her loads of stress.

So, we chatted and came up with a game plan to help with this daily ritual most of us take for granted.

Her big wish was to create outfits so she didn't have to think about what pants go with which blouse. We also had to separate dressy from casual and create a golfing section. She tried on pants and tops to create outfits she knew she would like and then we grouped them together.

This was a dramatic change so to help her further, we created labeled clothes dividers so she could see at a glance and remember what we did. She says she loves "shopping" in her closet now.

This is why I do what I do. Making an impact on the daily life of one of my dearest clients makes my heart so happy!

Small Space Closet Organizing with Big Impact

This Denver woman was a dream to work with. She was very quick with her decisions on what to keep and what to donate. We ended up buying some clear drop-down shoe boxes for shoes she doesn't wear very often. This way she can see what she has so she can remember to wear them! We also bought a shoe rack for the floor for everyday shoes. Now everything is tidy and visible.

Linen Closet Organizing for a Tidy Home

Linens seem to trip up a lot of clients. This Denver woman was "over" her overflowing linen cupboard. But believe it or not, we ended up not purging very much at all. I showed her some folding techniques that would help maximize the space. We also used some shelf dividers and labels to make it easy for everyone in the family to see what they need and to put freshly laundered linens back where they belong.

Luxury Primary Closet Organizer Transformation

I love transforming boring closets that lack functionality into stunning, organized spaces. This was such a fun project. From designing a space that works for this busy couple to getting everything put away and organized, this will definitely go down as one of my favorite projects.

Closet Organizing Transformation

SOS tackles a major master closet makeover! This was such a fun project. For years, my clients walked into a wall that separated the two sides of the closet. It cut off light from the window and made the space feel really cramped. We tore it all out, put in new carpet, painted and installed a whole new design using elfa from The Container Store. Now the space feels big and bright. Closet envy anyone?! 🙂

Smart Linen Closet Organizing Solutions

While this Longmont client has a fairly good sized linen closet…she also has lots of linens. Comforters, extra sheets, pillows, table clothes, table runners and cloth napkins were hard to see, let alone access. The first thing we did was pull everything and purge what she no longer used or wanted. We worked out the best way to fold everything so it didn’t take up quite as much shelf space. Voila! An organized linen closet. We added gift tags to all of the shelves for a pretty method of labeling. Now this client can find table linens, as well as the correct size of bed sheets at a glance!

Smart Closet Organizing Systems That Create Calm

This Denver couple needed help making sense of their quirky closet with its low ceiling and angled roof lines. SOS stepped in to help them put it to better use. We decided against having a his and her side. He's tall which means his clothes are longer and the double hanging section on one wall just wasn't tall enough - his clothes were dragging on the ground. So we made the upper section for his shirts and then made the bottom section for both of their pants and her skirts. His suits and jackets now share space with her dresses in the long hang section. And we removed the completely useless hanging rod on the lower half of one wall to create a space for shoe racks. Some new folding techniques transformed all of the shelf cubbies and even left us with some empty space! The best part...my client called what I did "closet wizardry." I just love that!

Decluttered and Tidy: Primary Closet Before and After

This Denver homeowner wanted some advice and help with her master closet. While she did a small amount of purging, most everything that was in the closet, stayed. It didn't take long to sort, fold and re-hang clothes to make everything easier to see. She said she already feels a sense of calm when she walks into the space. Mission accomplished!

Smart Small Closet Organization

This Longmont woman has a small house with only one closet. Yes, one! And it really needed some attention from SOS! We dived in and sorted through clothes, shoes, purses, coats and general storage items. Some items were donated, some moved to other areas of the house. Once we were finished and had everything put back, we decided the space would benefit from a re-design. We turned to elfa from The Container Store. Since we had already done the organizing, it was easy to know just how to design the space. Now every inch is utilized and easy to access.

Closet Organizer Rescue: From Crammed to Tidy

This closet was crammed so full that my client couldn't really even get into it. We pulled everything out and designated anything she didn't want anymore as donate or consign. We were able to ditch the rolling garment racks and use the bins she already had to make the space work for her. Everything is categorized so it's easy to see and access.

Closet Organizing Makeover

This has to be one of the widest reach-in closets I've ever seen...and it needed a massive makeover. It was time to replace the single shelf and rod with something to maximize all that fabulous space. We turned to elfa from The Container Store. We increased the amount of hanging space, added loads of drawers, customer shoe storage and even a gliding pant rack that we used to hang scarves. Fabulous!

Closet Organizing Makeover

Be prepared for some serious closet envy! The pictures speak for themselves. SOS was given a blank slate - only the framing of this house addition had been completed. We turned to TCS Closets from The Container Store to create a space that's more of a retreat than a closet.The result...complete fabulousness. 🙂

Closet Organizer Revamp with Custom Solutions

While this closet at least had plenty of hanging space, this client needed drawers and shelves. We turned to elfa from The Container Store to better utilize every inch. We also took advantage of the tall ceilings to create extra storage for out-of-season items. Dreamy isn’t it?!

Declutter and Organize: A Closet Organizer Success Story

This spare bedroom closet was crammed with assorted clothes, kitchen and decorative items, tubs of DVDs, VHS tapes and more. This Longmont client was overwhelmed every time she opened the doors. SOS to the rescue! We created an organized space with clearly defined homes, a gift wrap station AND a place where the occasional guest can hang clothes if need be.

Toy Closet Makeover by a Professional Organizer

This Greenwood Village mom was overrun by toys. Not only that, but she's about to welcome a new baby to the family. Luckily, she has these huge closets in the basement that are perfect for toy storage. The only problem... they were stuffed full! After sorting everything into keep and donate piles, we organized the closets into zones. We turned the floor into a mini garage to park toy cars and bikes. The lower shelves are for the toys her son plays with the most and the next shelf is for toys he plays with less often but is not yet ready to part with. The upper shelves hold toys for the new baby and now there's even space for all the new toys that are sure to arrive when the new baby makes his or her appearance. 🙂

Closet Organizing That Actually Works

This space already had Elfa from The Container Store. But this beautifully designed closet needed to be organized. With plenty of hanging space, shelves and drawers, it was simply a matter of categorizing clothes to keep like with like. We also re-folded most of the items on her shelves and in the drawers to maximize those spaces. It truly is amazing the difference folding can make. When we were finished, we even had an extra shelf to display her jewelry!

Shoe Storage Done Right: Closet Organizer Edition

When I see a room like this, my first thought is "This is going to be fun!" And it was. We divided the space to make it a combo closet and craft room. We used elfa from The Container Store to make the space more functional. One full wall was to be devoted to his shoes. And what an impressive sight! In the "Before" photo, his shoes are nowhere to be found - that's because they were all over the house: the master closet, the master bedroom, the basement, the garage, the living room...you get the idea. Once I had them all together, it was time to get them up on those fabulous shoe shelves...color coordinated, of course. I then tackled the other portion of the closet. We took the doors off the original reach-in to make his clothes more accessible and to make that entire side of the room more "closet-like." Sensational, isn't it?!

Closet Organizer Creates a Dream Space

A crammed reach-in closet with bi-fold doors was stressing this Boulder woman to the max. She couldn’t get to anything and she had piles of clothes sitting on the floor. So she decided it was time to turn this space into a full on dressing room. We pulled the doors off to make reaching both ends of the closet easier. And then we turned to Elfa from The Container Store. The reach-in became her showcase for shoes with hanging space on the side for little-worn items. And we turned one wall into a beautiful display of the clothes she loves and wears most often.

Closet Organizer Success Story: Clutter Cleared

This closet was bulging at the seams. But in a matter of just a couple of hours we cleared out the shoes that pinched toes, the pants that didn’t fit quite right and clothes that were never going to be worn again. We then grouped all of the dresses together, moved all of the pants and skirts to the bottom row and kept all of the blazers and shirts up top. Now this happy SOS client can not only see everything she has, but actually get to it easily.
