Closets can spiral into disorder quickly, especially when small, and a functional organization system prevents clothing and linens from turning into tangled messes. Multiple closet solutions exist, including the Container Store’s Elfa line, IKEA’s PAX and HEMNES systems, vintage-style wood shelving, and custom builds. Seventeen standout makeovers showcase practical ideas, bold colors, built-ins, and DIY approaches at a range of budgets, from $250 to $1,500. One builder-grade closet lacked vertical storage and was transformed by installing an IKEA PAX system and painting it black to create a built-in, custom look that maximized organization.
Closets have a way of getting out of control quickly, and that's especially the case when you have a small closet. Without an effective closet organization system in place, all it takes is one busy week to go from a beautiful stack of sweaters to a tangled mess of fabrics. But a functional, organized closet can handle whatever you throw at it - which is why it's worth your time and energy to update your closets (even if no one else sees them).
Figuring out where to start can be tricky, as there are so many options for making over your closet - everything from the Container Store's Elfa line to IKEA's PAX system to something completely custom. Thankfully, Apartment Therapy's Before & After archives are full of beautifully executed closet makeovers from real-life renters and homeowners - all of which can serve as inspiration for your own closet redo.
