Open Closet Ideas – Full Of Surprises With Nowhere To Hide

Does your closet look like a huge mess too? That’s usually a sign of bad organization and some people actually find chaos to be comforting but if you’re not one of those persons then it might be time for a closet remodel. Perhaps you’d like to try something new this time, maybe even adventurous like an an open closet. Sure, it doesn’t seem like a very appealing idea when all you can picture is a bunch of messy shelves and drawers sitting there for everyone to see at all times but it’s not really like that.

The open closet system is a very flexible and versatile one. The concept can be adapted in a lot of different ways and customization is an important part of every such project. Since you’ll be giving up the doors on your closet, the barrier that stood between the contents and the rest of the room, you should focus on finding the optimal way to organize your closet so everything can have its own place but also so you can access everything with ease.

Fabric curtains make open closets look more inviting and they’re also more subtle than solid doors. They’re also better for kids, being easier to use and safer. Also, an open closet encourages cleaning up. When you no longer have the option to close the doors and hide everything behind them, you want your closet to be well-organized and nice to look at. As far the storage options go, your best option is a custom system. You can mix and match various styles and have closet shelving and drawers as well as clothing rods and hooks and anything else you might find useful and practical. Use shelves for closet organization if you want to have everything on display and easy to grab or if you enjoy the openness that they give you.
