For instance: • You can easily design a custom closet kit online with storage solution companies like ClosetMaid; • Your local home superstore or hardware store often carries affordable, prefabricated organizers that fit standard closets; • While organizers won’t increase closet size, maximizing vertical and horizontal space is an effective alternative. And don’t stop at closets—storage improvements can enhance cabinets, linen closets, attics, basements, making every space more functional and appealing. Look for any place to create attractive and inexpensive storage space. Take a good look at your laundry room and linen closet. Adding extra shelving in these places can make a big impact.
