The bathroom is the most visited room in any home. It needs attention daily and if left untouched can quickly become the most disorganized room in the house.

If you are blessed enough to have a spare closet in your home, you will love the ideas described below for getting your space organized to suit your needs. You might even be able to apply some of them to your own master closet, allowing you to maximize space and give you more function in the space.
Closets are fun to organize, and because they are usually a small space, the project can be completed in a weekend. This makes it clear to see the finish line. It is best to enlist some help before you start. Many times another person will visualize your space totally different than you see it, offering another level of beauty or function.

We all have areas in our homes we call storage space, but not all storage spaces are created equal. Some of us have an abundance of these hidden spaces that contain the things we need and value, while others torture themselves by trying to squeeze too many things into tiny storage spaces we call closets. When designing a home, many home builders focus more on the visual spaces such as a large kitchen or big bathrooms, when in fact the more important feature is the availability of closet space to allow families to store items they identify as valuable. On the other hand, many home buyers do not recognize the lack of storage space when making a home purchase. They see large bedrooms, high ceilings, and beautiful kitchens as their vision of the perfect home. When they attempt to put away their belongings and create functional spaces, they realize there is not enough storage space.
