I am embarrassed.
Well, I was.
Because until last week, this was our bedroom closet:
Yeah, it was a mess. There is not much you can do with a single rod and a shelf.
It left a lot of empty space and forced us to have to hang some of our clothes in the basement because they just wouldn’t all fit in the closet. The rest of the space we just piled with junk rather than leave it unused.
Of all of the rooms in our house, our bedroom has been the most neglected. It’s not a very big room and the bed takes up most of the space leaving very little room for dressers. So the closet is a critical space for our clothes.
We had always talked about doing something with it but didn’t get around to it until now.
Wayfair.com has so many solutions for conquering your closet. The hard part is picking which items you want to start with! I knew I wanted a closet, system. Check out the 3 I had it narrowed down to:
1. AkadaHOME 14.75″ Deep Wide Closet Tower
2. Rubbermaid Deep Deluxe Closet Kit
3. Rubbermaid Configurations 96″ Deep Closet Set
In the end, I chose option 3 because of the versatility of being able to move everything around to meet our needs. The Rubbermaid Configurations Set is easy to install and fully customizable so your closet will be organized exactly how you need it.
I was shocked that all the pieces fit inside this fairly small box!
Installation was easy! There is a horizontal piece that gets mounted across the upper back of the closet, and then 5 vertical rods that hand off the horizontal piece. The vertical rods also get secured to the wall.
All of the brackets, shelving and rods are adjustable and easy to customize. I must have moved things around 5 times or more before coming up with the perfect layout for our closet.
I put only the clothes that came out of the closet back into it, we have plenty of room for all of the clothes that are hanging in the basement now too!
On the floor on either side, we have room for a couple of bins with our out of season clothes in them, which is nice to be able to keep all of our clothes in the closet and not have to store them elsewhere.
I love the versatility of the shelves!
And the shelf on top takes advantage of the full height of the closet allowing us to store some things up there that we only use on rare occasion.
I couldn’t be more happy with how this turned out; I keep opening the closet doors to look to make sure it’s still there!

It turned out great! We need to make over all the closets in our house, too
Can you come over and organize mine next? You did an awesome job on yours!!
I really need to look into this. My closet is almost a carbon copy of your before pictures!
These are a must in our house.. the closets need organization or all mayhem breaks lose!
You did a great job putting it all together…it looks great! my closet is far from being a mess but we have such wasted space! I NEED some organizers!
This system you chose is very similar to our Elfa systems in our house. They are wonderful because they truly maximize space. Your closet looks great.
OMG girl, your closet was out of control LOL 🙂 I’m glad you got it all organized. I have sliding mirrored doors on my closet. I like to pretend I don’t open them because they make the room look bigger, but it’s really because my entire world would spill on the floor
Omg your closet came out pretty fabulous!!!! This is what I am working on this weekend!!!
We need more closets in our house to do this. We just did something like it in our bedroom and we love it!
wow, very nice transformation from mess to organized haha. I really like the new dresser looks very neat on eyes and very organized! This is a great idea too.
Omg I had one of these closet organizers when I was living in Canada. Once I moved to California, I gutted our entire apartment and pieces of this organizer thingie went missing. I TOTALLY miss it!!!
Arent these fabulous? My husband installed these for me and I just love how easy it is to organize now!
Oh wow that really looks nice for organizing my closet as well. It’s great that installation does not require a professional because it’s simple and easy to do.
Wow – I do love what you’ve done – I’ve used this shelving a bit – and what you’ve done here gives you so much more room and visibility – great work!!
That worked out really nicely! II love that you can use the entire closet now that you have multiple levels!
Oh, I really should be buying this one already! My closet is so disorganized! 🙁
Wow, this is brilliant! This makes me want to attack my closet too. Mine is always in a mess and I’m trying to sort it out slowly but that just never helps. I so need this.
Your closet makeover looks fantastic!! I really love how you added all that shelving!
I definitely need this for my closet and my daughters. I have so many things shoved in the closet i can not find anything.
That’s quite a transformation! I’ve got major closet issues since downsizing from two homes to one. I purge and purge but it’s like stuff multiplies when I’m not looking.
I totally need this in my closet. I never realized how inexpensive closet organizational systems really are. I have old farmhouse closets with no space at all. We could use a few of these.
My closet totally needs a makeover. Your after pictures make me want to redo mine.
What an amazing transformation! I never knew how easy this was to do. Looking at it, I’d be intimidated, but I guess it’s do-able!
That is soooo convenient and it’s very nice. I have to admit, I do need a set or two for my closet. I have so much clothes and bags. A lot of them are on my bed and are slowly occupying my Mom’s room. So yeah, I know – I need to start fixing stuff. I am so inspired!
I live to organize someone’s closet. Honestly, it doesn’t get much better than that for a professional organizer.
Good for you! Organizing our closet was a project that we never got to do last year. I haven’t talked to the husband again about it. We’ll see in the springtime or summertime. 🙂
This is something I could really use. I need a bedroom closet redo! I think I have clothes in there that are 10 years old. This would help a lot!
So amazing! Congratulations on a new closet, it looks so beautiful”
I should do this with my closet – it would be so awesome and organized as well!
