A hanging closet organizer makes the most of your closet’s vertical space. By using one you will be able to neatly store more clothes, shoes and accessories, than you thought you had room for. This will help you avoid your closet being in a state of constant mess and will save you time when you come to look for something to wear.
A closet hanging system is a vertical collection of fabric shelves or cubbies that hang from your closet rod by way of a strip of fabric fixed with velcro. There are many shapes and sizes available to fit the many types and sizes of items that you may want to store.
Some have specific functions, for example, they are designed primarily for shoe storage, sweaters, purses etc. Others are more general in nature and there are also mixed use organizers.

How to choose one
Step 1
First you need to measure the dimensions of your closet so you know which organizers will fit in.
Step 2
Next you need to declutter your closet. Toss away (recycle or donate) anything that you don’t wear or no longer fits and group the remaining clothes into piles of similar items.
Step 3
Determine how much space you need for the following types of clothes and accessories that are in your closet:
- clothes that need to be hung split between full length and half length
- bulky items like sweaters
- t shirts
- underwear
- shoes
- accessories, eg, purses, hats
Step 4
You are then in a position to decide:
- how many large cubbies you need for sweaters
- how many medium cubbies you need for t shirts
- how many shoe cubbies you need
- whether you need additional specialty organizers for purses
- whether your hanging organizer needs to have drawer accessories to stow your underwear, and
- how much hanging space you need to preserve on your closet rod.
Step 5
You can then look for one or a selection of organizers that will fit your needs.
Take care to consider the weight of your items and the load that specific organizers you are interested in will bear.
Consider any additional features on offer such as side pockets, drawer accessories or zip up closures.
Look out for name brands like Household Essentials, Honey Can Do, Whitmor and Rubbermaid.
