"I've lived in 11 different N.Y.C. apartments during my adult life, and they've all had one thing in common - not enough closet space! Long before I was getting paid to be a shopping editor, I was a shopaholic, so clothing storage has always been a struggle for me. For many years, I learned to live with the clutter and embrace the chaos. But one fateful night, the bar in my closet cracked clear in half."
"The loud crash woke me from my sleep and scared me half to death, but even more tragically, there were clothes everywhere. I'd reached my breaking point. I was a broke 20-something back then - all my money went toward clothes - so I definitely couldn't afford to hire a professional organizer to help me get my closet under control. The Container Store was super popular, but again, a custom Elfa closet was just not a reality, given my budget."
"So that's exactly what I did, and honestly, that one simple convo completely changed the game for me. I explained my conundrum to the sales associate - tiny closet, spend all my money on clothes, can't afford anything expensive in this store - and she graciously blessed me with three tips I've used in every apartment since to keep my closets neat, organized and easily accessible. Now, I'm sharing them with you."
Lived in many small NYC apartments with consistently insufficient closet space and chronic clothing accumulation. A closet bar breaking and clothes spilling everywhere prompted decisive action. Lack of funds ruled out professional organizers and custom systems. A visit to The Container Store and a conversation with a sales associate produced three practical tips that became enduring habits for maintaining neat, organized, and accessible closets. The first tip advises storing sweaters in cloth boxes or sweater storage bags to avoid rumpled piles and visual clutter. Inexpensive, low-effort solutions can convert chaotic wardrobes into manageable systems suited to tight budgets and small spaces.
