Ahhhh…shower curtain rings. Small but mighty- and surprisingly versatile. As a professional home organizer, I’m always on the lookout for simple, budget-friendly tools that make a big impact and shower curtain rings are one of my favorite organizing secret weapons. They’re inexpensive, easy to find and incredibly effective when it comes to helping you declutter, stay tidy and finally create a place for everything.
One of the biggest challenges I see when organizing closets is wasted vertical space. Shower curtain rings are a smart way to maximize that space while keeping items visible and easy to access. For example, belts can be looped through rings and hung neatly on a hanger or closet rod. No more digging through drawers or untangling leather knots – just grab what you need and go.
Necklaces are another common trouble spot. Instead of dealing with tangled chains and broken clasps, hang necklaces individually on shower curtain rings. This simple solution keeps everything separated, visible, and ready to wear. The same trick works beautifully for scarves, keeping them neat, wrinkle-free and easy to choose from during busy mornings.
S-shaped shower hooks are perfect for organizing purses. Hanging handbags on a closet rod keeps them off the floor, helps maintain their shape and makes it easier to rotate what you use regularly. Hats can also be hung using curtain rings, freeing up shelf space and keeping brims from getting crushed.
Shower curtain rings shine when it comes to small accessories too. Hair ties, headbands and clips can be grouped together on rings so they’re no longer jumbled in a drawer. Tank tops and camisoles can be neatly organized by slipping multiple hangers onto a single ring, an excellent space-saving solution for smaller closets. Even ties can be organized with a simple DIY approach using rings attached to a hanger.
What I love most about these solutions is how accessible they are. You don’t need custom cabinetry or expensive products to get organized. Thoughtful organizing is about creating systems that work for your life and your space. When everything has a designated home, staying organized feels easier and that leads to real peace of mind.
