Picture this. You’re moving into a new home where one or more rooms do not have at least one closet. Especially if you have a lot of clothes and other items to store, how are you going to organize a bedroom without any closet space?
Never fear! Here we have a few alternatives to help get a bedroom organized so that it does not turn into a junk heap!
Remember to take some much-needed breaks in between organizing, so that you do not get overwhelmed. Divide everything into small chunks of tasks to meet your end goal little by little.
Maybe you can dabble in one of your favorite online casino games when taking one of those breaks. Roulette is a thrilling catch, especially because you never know which number will be the one where the ball lands. If you’re a beginning casino gamer, try a game of slots at any online casino, which is simple and easy to play and enjoy.
Remember to place your bets wisely during your casino game break. As with there being a risk with casino gaming, there are risks you take when trying out a new organization tactic in your home. Don’t be afraid to try something new with organizing your room with no closet space by looking at some of the suggestions below.
Purchase a Portable Closet or Garment Rack
The next best thing when you do not have a closet that comes with a bedroom is to get one! Browse local merchants to find a store that sells them. Depending on the brand, you can find some as low as $40 to as high as $75.
Portable closets offer you more storage space. You can store a capsule wardrobe for the season with your favorite pieces so that they are always within reach. Some portable closets even zip up when not in use so that they help to make your room look cleaner.
If you have a more limited budget, garment racks are about $10. They store about 20 to 30 pieces of clothing depending on the type of hangers you use, the width of the rack, and its weight capacity.
Use a Dresser
A dresser may be big and bulky compared to how a closet is easily tucked away into the wall. However, you can prop the dresser against the wall next to your bed or nightstand for a more organized look.
Organize the dresser drawers into categories. Let’s say for example that your dresser has 5 drawers. You can have the top drawer be undergarments and the next drawer down can hold shirts. The third drawer down can hold full outfits that are easy to grab when you are getting ready in the morning. The fourth drawer can have pants. Make the final drawer pajamas.
Some dressers come with 5 to 6 drawers, which should be enough to store your entire wardrobe. If you have overflow items, place them in plastic totes and store them in your basement, attic, or storage unit.
Under the Bed Storage
Take advantage of the space under your bed to store items. If there’s nothing under there and you don’t have any closets in your room, you can take advantage of the space under your bed to store things that you do not want out in the open of your bedroom.
Here are some ideas for under-the-bed storage solutions:
- Place shoes in a zip-up under-the-bed shoe organizer.
- Organize winter apparel and accessories in a cube bin that you can stash under your bed.
- Get a plastic under-the-bed sliding container to store out-of-season clothing.
- Use space-saving vacuum bags to store extra blankets.
Cube Organizer
A cube organizer can work for any room. There are cube storage bins on the market in many solid colors and designs to customize the aesthetic that you want your room to display.
Dabble in some of these ideas for how you can utilize a cube organizer in a room with no closets:
- Organize toys into an 8-cube shelf organizer displayed horizontally for safety purposes. Any larger toys that cannot fit into a fabric cube can be displayed on the top shelf to take advantage of additional storage space.
- If you do not want a dresser, separate each cube into a different category of clothing in your wardrobe.
- Turn a cube organizer into a hobby station. If you are a crafter, one cube can hold paints while another cube holds yarn, and so on.
Organization Switch On!
It’s debilitating trying to organize a room with no closet space. If you find during your organizing journey that you still have things that do not fit inside of your organization vessels, then it’s time to declutter! How to go through your possessions and declutter them is a story for another day! Happy organizing!
