Getting dressed has never been easier!
Most standard closets that come with a home or apartment are lackluster and don't make good use of space. There should be more to your wardrobe than one lone high shelf and a hanging bar for your clothes, which is why we're coming to you today with the best closet organizers you can easily add to your place.
Of course, if you're on a budget, don't panic. Closet systems range from ultra-affordable options to customizable styles worth the investment. On top of that, most sites have user-friendly planners that provide you with free estimates long before you place an order. Just make sure you always have precise measurements (as you've seen in previous episodes of The Home Edit, your entire plan can be thrown off if you don't account for even one shelf).
Whether you have a big, beautiful walk-in closet or a tiny reach-in, there's a perfect closet organization system for you. If you're ready to overhaul your entire wardrobe, we've rounded up next-level organizers for every budget. Additionally, make note of our consultation tips for those who prefer to go the tailor-made route alongside best-sellers that can be installed in seconds, and much more. Put not being able to find anything you need in the past and get excited to finally have that dream closet where there's a place for everything.

First up, an affordable, easy-to-install Amazon's Choice pick. The assembly kit has everything you need and features versatile, adjustable shelves. Note: you may have to cut and reconfigure some of the rods to get it to fit.
Review: "If you have a narrower space, you will be cutting metal to make it fit or not using all the pieces available. That being said, if you put it up the way we did you will have a couple left over screws. We did not mount the smallest shelf as indicated for shoes so we also had those special brackets left over. It took us probably an hour and a half to set up. I'm pretty pleased with it..."

It depends on your budget, DIY skills, and patience! Many systems that are designed to be DIY may be more complicated than you think. If you've never tackled assembling furniture on your own or don't own some basic tools, installing a DIY closet system may be a bigger hassle than you want to handle.
At the same time, every DIY-er starts somewhere! If you're willing to read the directions and take your time, you'll get the hang of it. Just give yourself a full day or two, and don't try to start it when you're tired.
Well, how much do you hate digging around in a chaotic closet and how long will you be living in your place? If it's an apartment, it's likely not worth the cost of installation unless it's portable and can be taken with you when you leave.
For homeowners, these systems have the potential to double or triple your usable closet space certainly making it worth your while. In addition, don't underestimate how much time a closet system will save you because you'll finally know where all your things are.
