Alternatives: Closet Organizing Systems

Closet Organizing System

This is the first alternative in the series on finding space saving alternatives to dressers. You can find the first post, which is the entire tip list, here.

A Closet Organizing System is the ideal choice when you want to eliminate the need for a dresser altogether. For ease of use, you would hang your clothing on the closet rods and store your undergarments in storage boxes and place them on an accessible shelf (within easy reach).

Or if you find that isn’t ideal or user-friendly, as an alternative you could place your undergarments in a storage cart (wide version) in your closet (beneath the closet system).

When it comes to purchasing a Closet Organizing System, you’ll find that generally, most systems consist of wall standards and various shelving. You can usually get everything you need as a kit.

But if you prefer to have free reign, often hardware stores, such as Lowes and Home Depot offer a shelving section in which you can create a custom-made (closet) system by picking out what you want individually at the store.

Which Closet Organizing Systems to Consider…

Popular brands that offer organizing systems that you’ll want to pay particular attention to are Rubbermaid and Elfa.

If you’re on a budget, then between the two, you’ll likely find yourself swaying toward Rubbermaid since it is not only affordable, but also a popular alternative. Elfa, on the otherhand, is a something you’d want to consider if your tastes are extensive and your budget is fairly large.

Other less popular possibilities are John Louis and Easy Track–both which rely heavily on the use of shelving boards rather than metal shelving.

However, a word of warning before you buy… if you decide to get an Easy Track Closet Organizing System you may be taking a gamble. It has been said to have very poor packing which results in easily damaged shelving. John Louis on the other hand has been said to take a large sum of hours to assemble.
