Our Style Gurus know a thing or two about having a well-stocked closet. See how this Temple Style Guru utilizes her top picks from The Container Store to make sure her all her clothes are organized in her tiny space.
As a Fashionista on a college budget and city lifestyle, I fully understand the struggles of inhabiting a small space. Most notably, no closet is ever big enough for an ever-growing collection of dresses, shoes and handbags. This is where a little creativity and a shopping spree at The Container Store come in.
When closet space just isn’t cutting it, it’s time to enlist a trusted garment rack. Luckily, this simple folding garment rack offers dual utility: storage and décor. The rack adds five feet of additional space for hanging dresses, shirts and skirts. Plus, the end rails are the perfect spot for hats, scarves and handbags. As for the décor note, it’s pretty obvious. I love feeling like I’m styling up my own boutique by displaying my wardrobe. Even better, this solution allows you to keep your favorite in-season garments front and center when getting dressed in the morning. Don’t underestimate the power of a great hanger. These thin velvet-lined hangers are essential for making the most out of your space on the rack.
To maximize storage, be sure to use the bottom area of the rack. These white decorative bins nest perfectly between the bars to store pairs of jeans, sweaters or even a few magazines for inspiration. Best part about a garment rack? It can be easily and discreetly folded away for a season or two when not in use.
When it comes to shoes, my motto is that a gal can never have too many. However, this personal philosophy has led me to lining pair after pair up on the floor, taking up valuable living space. Needless to say, this over the door shoe rack is a lifesaver for a self-proclaimed shoe addict. It can fit an unbelievable 36 pairs of shoes while taking up little to no space at all. From stilettos and wedges to flats, this rack makes finding your perfect pairs more organized and easier than ever.
Living in a small space doesn’t have to cramp your style when closet organization looks as beautiful as this. Instead of tucking your wardrobe away under a bed or in a dresser, put it on display in true Fashionista style with these simple solutions from The Container Store.
