To find the best kids' closet organizers for both young children and teens, we reached out to pro organizers Julie Bestry of Best Results Organizing, Kendall Wilson of Put Together Place, and Lisa Zaslow of Gotham Organizers, for their favorites. From cubbies that let even little ones find their socks, to a rod extender that can accommodate a teen's growing wardrobe, these clever kids' closet organizers will see them through. And just think—with a closet this orderly, you'll save so much time in the morning when your little ones can get dressed all on their own. How to Organize Your Closet in 30 Minutes Flat 01 of 08 Keep it contained Anthropologie When kids are young, only hang items that fit right now. Label baskets for clothes that are too big (to grow into) or too small (to donate) so it's easy to adjust when a growth spurt hits. Labeled bins for socks and underwear let younger kids grab what they need. 02 of 08 Double up Container Store Hang an additional closet rod from your existing one to maximize storage and make it easier for young children to choose their own outfits. Keep everyday clothes on the lower rack and less frequently used items above. 03 of 08 Incorporate cubbies Pehr Store essentials (like underwear, socks, and pj's) in cubbies for young kids. Kids can start grabbing their own necessities as early as the toddler years. 04 of 08 Store on the door Target Over-the-door shoe organizers aren't just for footwear. Stash belts and knickknacks in a transparent version so young kids can quickly spot what they're looking for. 05 of 08 Think vertical Umbra As kids get older, store jackets, tote bags, and baseball caps on an over-the-door hook rack. That way, the desk chair or side chair won't get cluttered with coats and purses. 06 of 08 Plan outfits Target Stock the compartments of a hanging shelf organizer with an outfit for each weekday. Or use it to store folded items, like jeans and sweaters. 07 of 08 Pick a pretty basket Pehr A cute hamper inspires teens to keep dirty clothes in one place, not strewn across the floor. 08 of 08 Add hanging space Food52 As teens find their personal style, their wardrobe may expand—a lot. If their closet is exploding with accessories, let these space-saving hangers hold a vast array of scarves and belts. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
