And no, a suitable solution is not a "floordrobe" instead.
1. A set of drawer organizers that can take your dresser from the chaos that is a TJ Maxx sale section to the enviable order that is The Container Store. 😍
www.amazon.com
The set of four dividers can fit scarves, ties, underwear, bras, and socks, as seen above.
Promising review:"No matter how neatly I fold my bras and underwear, they always seem to become a big jumble in the drawer. These organizers are perfect for keeping everything in place, and you won't forget about those items you own that end up buried at the back." — M. Hanson
Get it from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in seven colors).
2. Some legging organizing hangers if your black legging collection is getting a little out of hand and you never know if you're pulling out your indoor or outdoor leggings. (Big difference!!!)
Each hanger holds 10 pairs of leggings.
Promising review:"Yes...I have too many clothes. I LOVE my leggings. These saved me soooo much room! Now I have much more space, AND I can see them all easier." — Larry Seymour
Get them from Amazon for $12.23+ (available in packs of one, two, or four, and in two colors).
3. Or some space-saving six-tier pants hangers should your kryptonite be denim and you can't help but buy five new pairs every time Abercrombie has a sale...
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "These are a great way to save space in your closet! They are well made and the clips hold the garments tightly. They are lightweight but very sturdy." — Leah Larsen
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $25.99 (also available in packs of two and three).
4. A hanging closet organizer so you can store clunky things like sweatshirts, shoes, towels, and other items that take up an unreasonable amount of space when hung. Voila!
www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: "I love this thing. The pockets are large and deep so you can fit so much inside of it. Saved me a ton of room in my closet." — Amazon Customer
"I love this product. It is exactly what I needed! It is very easy to put together. I hang it in my closet to maximize the space and to clear additional shelf space in my closet. It is very functional. Instead of tippy-toeing to reach things, they are all directly in front of me for easy access. The quality is good, it feels sturdy, and it is likely to last a while." — Chao Chao
Get it from Amazon for $11.98+ (available in various colors and sizes).
5. Some Wonder Hangers — point blank period. They'll ~triple~ your closet space so you can snatch every trending piece you come across on TikTok.
www.amazon.com
Check out how they work on TikTok here! And PS: Wonder Hanger is a small biz!
Promising review:"I wish I had taken the time to take a before and after pic because I have so much more room in there now than I did before. I found the cutest tops in there that I had completely forgotten about because my clothes were crammed in the closet so tightly. Most of the time, I felt like I had nothing to wear, LOL, and now, I know exactly what I have, and it's even organized by sleeve length and color. I would definitely buy again and actually plan to buy more for my husband and children to use as well." — Mariko Lamb
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $17.99 (available in two colors and packs of 24).
6. An adjustable hanging rod to help you make the most of your already spatially challenged closet. You can tweak the contraption's vertical and horizontal measurements so it fits juuuust right.
Promising review: "The best thing about this product is that as long as you have basic assembly skills, it works with the strength and reliability of any similar product that costs five times as much. Every. Single. Bad. Review of this product is misleading and purely due to user error during setup. I can easily hang over 20 pairs of thick men's jeans and pants on this bar with ZERO issues. I promise you, when installed correctly, this product will be a great source of organization and storage happiness for you and your closet." — Lily Elisabeth
Get it from Amazon for $16.87+ (available in packs of one or two and in three finishes).
7. Some foldable cloth storage cubes you can pop in the top of your closet if you not only need extra organization space, but a way to hide just how many miscellaneous THINGS you own.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This is exactly what I anticipated, I wish they were just slightly bigger but I use them on the side in my closet almost like drawers. It's definitely a space saver for me because we have just downsized and wanted a neat solution for lack of space to put a dresser in the bedroom. They work great — if I was using them right side up I am quite sure they would be more sturdy, but honestly I am not complaining because they work great for me. These run anywhere from $5–$10 at any store I looked at so as far as value totally worth it!" — Gretchen Struckhoff
Get a set of six from Amazon for $21.97 (available in 11 colors).
8. Some hanging vacuum bags so you can change out your winter wardrobe for your spring one. Just make sure you time it right, and don't fall for fool's spring!!!
Promising review:"Bought these storage bags two weeks ago to pack my winter clothes away for summer, and they did the job perfectly. They are large and sturdy. I like the five-hook design. I can store five women's jackets or four big men's jackets in ONE bag. The long bags also fit my dresses. The biggest reason I bought these bags is that I do not need to fold my seasonal clothes; just hang, zip, vacuum, done! Super convenient. Extremely happy with these space bags. I will definitely order more!" — Jia Yan
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $ 27.99 + (available in various colors and pack sizes).
9. And some XXL vacuum storage bags (with a pump included) to use when you run out of hanging room in your closet. When that happens, simply pop out one of these suckers, fill it up, and then shove it under your bed or even inside a suitcase you aren't currently using!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "These are a perfect storage solution and great value! With 25 bags of various sizes to choose from, including travel bags where no vacuum is required. It was easy to reorganize the linen closet after the holidays and incredibly helpful in gaining that extra space we all need for storage. Each bag is strong and great in design, much like another popula name-brand option." — M Trias
Get them from Amazon for $20.39+ (available in packs of 4, 6, 10, 8, 12, 16, 20, 22, 25, 26, 30, and 35).
10. A set of hook-shaped hangers so you can stop playing Jenga with that stack of hoodies you keep in the top of your closet. (You being *me*)
BTW — Venalli is an Overland Park, Kansas-based small biz specializing in genius hooks for hoodies *and* vibrant hoodies to go with them.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Daniel Boan says:
"This is one of those 'where has this been all my life?!' type of products. I'm a sucker for a soft hoodie, especially ever since my apartment became my office and now I can wear them 24/7. As much as I love curling up in them, hanging hoodies in the closet is SUCH a pain. They always slip right off my plastic hangers unless I zip them all the way up, so they usually just end up thrown over a random chair (or that mini elliptical I bought in March 2020 and have used a total of two times 😬). These little hook-shaped hangers are the storage miracle I never knew I needed. Now, I can just hang my sweatshirts and jackets by the hood and easily grab them when I need them — no zipping or folding necessary! Best of all, the pile of random hoodies on my chair has disappeared. I'm keeping the mini elliptical covered though."
Get a 10-pack from Venalli on Etsy for $19.99.
11. A pack of tiered hangers sent from the heavens to keep track of all of your miscellaneous wardrobe items. Scarves, belts, ties, leggings...you name it. These babies can hold several items, too, so one eliminates the need for five normal hangers.
Amazon
Promising review:"Very well made; sturdy enough to handle jeans as well as dress pants. They were a great addition to my closet. Great value for the money. Strongly recommend them." — Amazon Customer
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $16.99.
12. A set of under-bed storage bags so you can use the few inches under your frame to store extra linens and other odds and ends. Do you really own a concerning amount of clothes if half of them are hidden under your bed??
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The bags have handles on three sides, so they're easy to fish out. They also have clear zippered tops, which allow you to see what's inside at a glance.
Promising review: "Wow! These storage bags are even nicer than I expected. They seem sturdy and well made for storage of items that aren't extremely heavy. Our winter home in Florida is tiny, and being able to store extra bedding for guests under our bed is a must. These are perfect for the task. See-through tops enable quick identification of contents, and double zippers work smoothly. Would definitely recommend." — KyFan
Get them from Amazon for $12.97+ (available in various colors and pack sizes).
13. And/or a pack of 24-gallon storage containers you can pop in a storage closet or even up in the attic if you know you won't be touching the items inside for another three seasons.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I have bought so many different types of storage containers for blankets, clothing, bedding, everything you can think of, and they never hold up. Seams come apart, handles tear off, they don't have enough room for very many items. These are great! In workmanship, size and stackability. I love these bags and won't use another storage product again!" — Michelle
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in packs of three, four, six, eight, and in two colors).
14. A hanging laundry hamper because, let's be real, sometimes you're just lazy and items that end up on your clothes chair should actually be washed before your next wear...
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Very convenient. I'd been looking for new laundry baskets to keep in my bathroom so my family didn't just throw clothes into a pile on the floor. There isn't a lot of floor space in there, so I was looking for a tall, narrow basket and found these. They are great. I put one on the back of the door, and one hanging from a towel rack and labeled one for light colors and, without even asking, my family has been putting their clothes in the correct bin, and I just need to unzip and let the clothes fall into the laundry basket, and they are ready to go into the wash. I really like them." — D. Jelte
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in six colors).
15. A baseball hat organizer that'll keep your caps in one central location without taking up much space at all — that way, you clear the closet shelf you were stowing them on and make more room for folded items like bulky sweaters.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
PS: DomeDock is a small biz!
Promising review: "This is the perfect solution to keep your hats organized. Each organizer holds about a dozen hats. The hats stay put and don't fall over. As long as you tuck them properly, then they stay put and won't get messed up. Definitely worth buying." — FarraB
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in white or black and individually or as a two-pack).
16. A set of shelf dividers so you can maximize that hard-to-reach space in the top of your closet instead of just haphazardly throwing things up there and hoping they stay.
www.amazon.com
They're also great for bulky items like linens and towels! The dividers are 12 inches tall and can slide over any standard shelf up to 7/8 inches thick.
Promising review:"I love these! They fit snugly over my shelf, so they don't shift or move around. I have a lot of handbags, and it's been a mess on my closet shelf for the ones that are floppy. I have limited closet space in a small home, so my choices of where/how to store them are limited. This was the perfect solution. I plan on buying more when I get around to rearranging sweaters on shelves." — BarbraGenie
Get a set of two from Amazon for $17.99.
17. A set of two small woven baskets you can tuck on top of bookshelves, under your nightstand, or anywhere else where there's dead space you can totally convert into storage.
Amazon
Promising reviews:"I am obsessed with jute baskets! I love how sturdy they are and the perfect size to store my magazines and books under my living room table! The relaxed style further ties together my laid-back rustic, organic style. Love love love!" — April
"I started by ordering a set of two baskets and kept ordering more. These baskets are stunning for display and hold a high capacity of linens. I am using them for storage of spare toilet paper rolls and hand towels on open shelving and for storage of table linens in the dining area cabinet... Love the sheen, construction, and quality." — Laura K.
Get it from Amazon for $24.29.
18. Or a larger woven storage basket that not only looks cute, but is deep enough to hide other items you've been too lazy to actually put away. Shoes, cords to electronics, random unmatched socks, and that stack of mail you *swear* you'll eventually go through can all be hidden at the bottom of this bad boy if you just plop a blanket or pillow on top!
Amazon
Promising review:"I like things in my apartment to be aesthetically pleasing to the eye and that's exactly this item!!! It fits a large amount of laundry, is easy to carry, and the handles haven't not worn out or stretched." — Cierra
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in four sizes and six colors).
19. A 23-loop scarf/belt/tie hanger so gone are the days when you have to search the bottom of your clothes chair pile for that *one* belt that would just make your outfit.
www.amazon.com
PS: One reviewer even uses it for her child's leggings! So it's very versatile.
Promising review: "This thing is amazing. I was skeptical about buying because all the other reviews had pictures with lighter summery/spring scarves, but my collection is mostly winter wear. I wasn't sure it would hold all my large blanket scarves, but it does. My grandmother saw it and asked me to order one for her! This was the perfect solution to my organization problem." — Nikolette
Get it from Amazon for $11.87 (available in three finishes).
20. A 360-degree rotating tank top and bra hanger that keeps all of your pieces in view so you don't have to tear through a drawer looking for your *one* bra that doesn't have the underwire poking out the side.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "At first glance, you might think, 'Hangers? Really?' But these aren't just any hangers — they're the Olympians of clothing support, the unsung heroes of closet organization. If you've ever experienced the heartbreak of a bra tumbling to its doom from a standard hanger, you'll understand why these are a necessity, not a luxury. Crafted with a design so secure, these hangers could probably hold on in a hurricane. They cradle your delicates with the gentle yet firm grip of a lifelong friend who doesn't let you down. And let's talk about that polished wooden bar — it's like a VIP seat for your wardrobe, making your bras look like they're ready for a fashion show. These hangers are so good at their job, I'm considering hanging other things on them — hats, scarves, maybe even my self-esteem. 10/10, these hangers have me rethinking the entire concept of closet storage. Truly life-changing." — Mathew Clevinger
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two finishes and packs of one or two).
21. And an over-the-door rod so you can make the most of an extra-deep closet. The additional rack uses otherwise dead space, anyways!
Amazon
You could also use the rack to hang lightly worn clothes that you want to air out before your next wear.
Promising review:"Heaven. Took a chance and cannot stop raving about this. Incredibly sturdy. I love the gray-silver color. It's so awesome. Best purchase I've made in years! It's SO durable, arrives in box, easy to assemble, just two pops. Easy peasy. Really the best thing for times when you need a strong extra rack for clothes. Fits on the door perfectly snug. I'd buy again in a NY minute." — lisa j
