Wardrobe Closets

While many of us dream of the type of custom closets that we see in celebrity magazines, the reality is that our budgets just will not make this dream come true. While we may not be able to push a button and watch our designer shoes circle by, the reality is that most of us simply need a good way to organize our everyday shoes and our couple of pairs of special occasion pumps.  The Internet provides a wonderful way to view closet accessories that are reasonably priced and can add a little touch of organizational glamour to our closets.

While lacking a little in the glamour department, an affordable choice in closet organizers is made by Rubbermaid, the folks who have brought great organizational items to the kitchen and pantry. Their closet accessories and organizers are called Rubbermaid Closet Configurations.  This wire based system has received an excellent rating from Consumer Reports, citing its durability and ease of installation.

Rubbermaid Configurations come in two sizes, one that fits smaller closets in the three to six foot range, and a larger version for closets up to four feet by eight feet. What is really terrific about these systems is that there is no need for measuring or cutting shelf supports since the package provides rails and shelves that telescope.  There is even a choice in colors, basic white, titanium or nickel.

The installation process is just about as simple as it can be, a four step process, with an online video for those who are really apprehensive. Basically, all the closet owner needs to do is mount the rails for hanging items, no cutting involved as the telescoping feature makes it easy to simply overlay the shelves and adjust the width. The uprights are put in place over the hanging rail, shelves and brackets are attached and then the clothes rods are put in place.

Voila, the pieces are now in place to have a truly organized closet. The best thing is that these closet accessories can be purchased at very reasonable prices online, from $80 to $200, depending upon closet size. There are also a number of additional items that can be added to this system such as shoe racks and specific organizers for things like ties and belts.

When we generally think of armoires, a picture of traditional stained French style armoire will pop into our heads. Shockingly enough, not all bedroom sets have stained oak furniture or are antique hand-me-downs. Believe it or not, there are bedrooms sets that this traditional look would clash with and be totally unacceptable. For those with a more modern look, perhaps a white or black armoire would do nicely. Here is a quick look at a few white armoires to fill a variety of needs.

Cotton Candy Pure White Armoire, South Shore Furniture, $300
South Shore Furniture has several models available in this price range and color, but this one is recommended mostly because of the lower drawer space. If the wardrobe armoire is being used solely for clothing storage, this will more than do the job. It features an inside mirrored door with large shelving units that are ideal for sweater storage, a side hanging closet and 2 large pull-out drawers on the bottom of the cabinet. It is pretty tough to beat for right around $300.
