Emily Several weeks back, I took a photo of my closet. It was disastrous. What, you don’t remember? Oh, that’s right, it’s still disastrous and I was wanting to show you a before and after. So, to serve as motivation, I’m putting my plan to organize my closet out there in hopes that I’ll get it finished soon. Until then, check out some of the inspiration I’ve found on how to keep an orderly wardrobe.
One of my favorite sources of inspiration, as I have mentioned before, is Houzz. There are so many professional, magazine-worthy shots, but also some more organic and realistic ones as well that are just as beautiful. Moving onto the eye candy, I give you…
Dream Closets
While I don’t plan to install marble or custom built-ins, these fancy closets are fun to look at.
I never really was drawn to the Elfa system by the Container Store (below), but I like the dark wood colors, and how each bit of space is utilized well.
These closet doors! Beautiful! That’s all I have to say.
I almost think this is too organized — if there could be such a thing — but it’s such a great idea to make sure that every little item has its place.
These are some more practical inspirations of closets. I like the uniform look of the above storage. My closets are more like this, so I can imagine this being a good system. Granted, I can’t really think of what to keep in them at this moment.
I also like this closet, using Ikea boxes on top and some drawers on the floor. Maybe something like this is to be considered for my closet, but I want to do it on the cheap — as in dirt cheap.
I’ll keep you updated on my closet situation. Do you have any closet organizing tips?

I wish my closet looked like one of these! I really like those shoe racks because you can see all the shoes without having to dig through a pile. Right now I don’t have a lot of closet space and I don’t like when the clothes are crammed so full in a drawer or on the rod that you can’t take anything out or put anything back in without a lot of work. (it is so not motivating to put laundry away when it’s like this) I try to take what little seasonal items I can and put them in a box and store them somewhere else. It has been working so far, but I am looking forward to having more closet space when we find a house.
I wish I had a walk-in closet HALF as big as any of those
Staci and Monique — I’m so jealous too! Just the idea of a walk-in sounds dreamy. I’m not even sure I would have ever thought of marble in a closet. One closet that I forgot to include was the ones in the Sex and the City movies. Swoon!
