5 Ways to Store Clothing in a Room Without a Custom Closet System

When you have very little closet space (or none at all), it can be very difficult to figure out ways to store all of your clothes. Instead of putting everything in bins or drawers, there are a few simple and effective ways you can get the most out of your room without a custom closet system.

From armoires to clothing racks, clever use of curtains, and much more, you have more than a few options at your disposal if you’re lacking the closet space you need.

Here are 5 easy ways that you can store clothing in your room, even if you don’t have a custom closet system:

  1. Make use of a closet armoire.
  2. Try out a clothing rack.
  3. Use a curtain system.
  4. Repurpose a bookshelf.
  5. Transform a corner of your room.

Now that we know a few ways that you can get the storage space you need even with a limited closet, let’s get into the specifics and see how you can put this to use in your home.


Make Use of a Closet Armoire

With the simple addition of an armoire in your bedroom, you’ll give yourself both hanging and folding space for all of your clothes. Even without a full custom closet system, you can still take advantage of this simple hack to add plenty of storage space.

The best part is that you have so much room to personalize the armoire and suit it to your tastes. As you can see from this list of 30 armoire ideas from the pros over at Better Homes & Gardens, you don’t have to settle for a look you don’t like.

Custom Closet Systems

Try Out a Clothing Rack

If you’ve been wanting to try out the new trend of putting together a capsule wardrobe, there’s no better (and more affordable) way to do that than with a clothing rack or two. One of the most cost-effective options on this list, you can instantly expand the available hanging room.

Coupled with something like an armoire, you could even have a place for your out-of-season clothing as well as some of the new outfits you’ve been meaning to try out. And with everything in view, it’ll be easy to find what you want and mix and match.

Use a Curtain System

A curtain system is just the thing for those who want more hanging space but don’t want their clothes exposed all the time. Simply hang up all of your clothes on a clothing rack, put them up against the wall, and install a curtain to cover them when not in use.

With this simple installation, you’ll have what amounts to a closet’s worth of hanging space coupled with a unique entrance that will be sure to make your room stand out.

Repurpose a Bookshelf

Bookshelves might not be the first thing you spring for when trying to revamp your closet space, but they can work wonders in both adding more space and making it easier to organize. The best part is that you can completely customize the bookshelf to suit your exact needs.

Maybe you need plenty of folding space, so you decide to use the whole thing for your clothes. Or maybe you have a bunch of knick-knacks but no room to store them, so you put a cubby system there on the bookshelf. Whatever you need to do, a bookshelf can accommodate it.

Transform a Corner of Your Room

When in doubt, get more use out of one of the corners of your bedroom. By adding a couple of wall closet systems and joining them at a corner, you’ll give yourself the equivalent space of a closet or two!


Conclusion

By following these simple tips and getting creative with your implementation, you can easily maximize the storage space in your room - even without a full custom closet system.
