Classic New England homes are beautiful expressions of the areas rich history. However, the architectural design of many of these Boston homes, means you may have to work with smaller closet space. Just because you may be working with a smaller space, doesnt mean there isnt room left for a little organization! Make a little space go a long way with these great tips on how to keep your small closet organized.

Make a Plan

Before starting right away, first take some time to decide what youd like to store in the small closet space. It helps to think about the following questions:

  • What is the purpose of this closet?
  • How often will you need to access the items in the closet?
  • Will this closet be used for clothing, shoes, and other accessories?
  • Will the closet be used to store all of your big winter boots and coats?
  • Will this closet be used for storing miscellaneous items from around the house?

Having a specific plan and purpose for your closet makes customizing and organizing your closet much easier. Its easy to get lost when you dont have a clear end goal in mind so visualize how you would like your closet to look and function.
