Tips to Organize a Baby Closet
Posted by Scott Pendlebury on 24 Aug 2017
Wardrobe organization is rather challenging. This is especially true when it comes to newborn’s clothing, and all the baby gear coming along. Since the little ones tend to grow fast and you’ll see yourself dismissing the old onesies each month and replacing them with new clothing, sometimes keeping the wardrobe clutter at bay isn’t easy. However, with a couple of handy organizing tips, you’ll keep all the burp cloths, onesies and swaddle blankets nicely folded, or hung on racks in no time.
Maximize the space
When you’re blessed with your bundle of joy, it’s time to start maximizing on every single inch of space. Start from vertical hanging space and manage small baby clothes easily. With rod doubler, you’ll perfectly use the often wasted space in your closet. What’s more, with Elfa drawers you’ll easily divide the clothes by type, or size or any other system you’d prefer. If you choose to put nursery supplies or toys on them, it can serve that purpose as well. Furthermore, when you’re looking for more ideas that offer great flexibility, choose stacking drawers.
Divide the space
Stacking organizers will do wonders for your baby’s closet. They’ll help you divide the space, and maximize the vertical space on closet shelves. Consider putting shoes or too small and too large clothes on them. Don’t forget to label the organizers, so you can get an easy access to all the essentials you need. You can divide the storage in the drawers as well, and create separate sections for socks, undies, and burb cloths. Furthermore, with pre-labelled stacked boxes at the bottom of the closet, you’ll manage to have a clear overview of all the sizes and clothes categories, so make sure to introduce this system into clothing organization as well.
Use doors for extra storage
Doors shouldn’t be neglected when it comes to smart organizing ideas. If you have a standard door, consider hanging a utility rack on the back of the closet door and store hats, or hair accessories in them. What’s more, they can hold diapers, wipes and even toys. If you choose those with clear pockets, you won’t have to label each pocket, and you’ll get an even easier access to all the baby items you need. Furthermore, if you pick a sliding wardrobe door instead of a standard one, you’ll both maximize the space in your nursery and in the closet.
Shelves and clothing bars
Shelves are an essential part of every closet, and if you place them strategically, you’ll use the most of the closet space easily. Try to place the shelves one underneath another with enough space in between for you to stock the plastic crates. Why precisely plastic crates? Well, once you place the hooks on the lower part of the shelf and hang plastic crates on them, you’ll get yourself a fabulous storage space for all the onesies, socks, burp cloths, blankets, or any other item you find suitable. Think about installing a clothing bar underneath the lowest shelf, and hang a baby’s dresses, or shirts and trousers for when they’re old enough to wear them. What’s more, once they learn how to walk, they’ll have an easy access to their clothes and be able to choose what they want to wear on their own.
Organizing the baby’s wardrobe can look challenging, but with a couple of handy tips, you’ll have no trouble doing it. Since babies grow fast and their needs constantly change, you’ll probably find yourself re-organizing the space multiple times, so be sure to follow the previous tips and have your baby’s wardrobe organized perfectly during their entire development. Give them the opportunity to access their favourite clothes once they start to walk and talk, so they can enjoy picking out their favourite outfits early on.
