Pegboards for Every Room

Using Pegboards to Organize Your Closet

The Strategies

• Arrange your morning-routine items neatly and visibly to avoid wasting time riffling through drawers and cabinets.
• Create a mini–dressing station, with a mirror next to your necklaces, a pocket for moisturizer, and a small shelf for lip gloss, so you can check yourself before stepping out. To give your spirits a lift, display a souvenir from your last vacation.
• Hang favorite earrings and other accessories from hooks to keep them from getting tangled.
• Place trailing items, such as scarves and belts, on the bottom, so they don't block smaller items, like a collapsible umbrella, up top.
• Avoid extra-long pegs in shallow closets. They can catch on hanging clothes.

The Gear

• Blomus stainless-steel panels, $35 each.
• Hooks, $5 for a set of 5.
• Long shelf, $8.
