These 5 Custom Closet Accessories Will Save You Time Every Day

Here’s another scenario that’s likely all too familiar to you. You decide to save time in the mornings by pre-selecting and hanging the clothing you want to wear to work for the week, doing this on a Sunday evening. By Tuesday or Wednesday, the outfits you had painstakingly selected are now covered in wrinkles. You have no choice but to plug in your iron, pull out your ironing board, and clean up the garment.

So much for saving time, right?

Valet rods are useful in such situations. These protruding metal hangers can keep your clothing, especially dry-cleaned clothing, separated so you don’t have to worry about wrinkles wrecking your wardrobe. Even if you have more than one garment on the valet rod at a time, you won’t have to stress about the condition of your clothing. You can also separate your garments on the valet rods with garment bags, for that extra level of protection. 



You can also get back to pre-planning your outfits with a valet rod. The night before work, pick out your outfit, put it on a hanger, and attach the hanger to your valet rod. The next morning, you can just pull the outfit off the rod and get dressed. You’ll have so much more time in the mornings that you might even be able to hit the snooze alarm once or twice!

Your custom closet could also use some fresh clothing rods. More than likely, you were probably using inexpensive, simple clothing rods before. Hey, if it gets the job done, it suffices, right?

Sure, for very short-term use maybe. If you want a closet that’s as appealing as it is organized though, you’ll want to upgrade your clothing rods sooner than later. Sleek metal rods allow you to slide your clothes easily from one end of your closet to another. 



By upgrading your clothing rods, you can also ascertain that you’re choosing a sturdy, stable solution that won’t buckle under the weight of your wardrobe. You’re free to hang what you want in your closet without fear, from heavy pants and dresses to handbags and even a coat or two.

Ah, the curse of the missing second earring. You thought you had both earrings ready to go on your dresser, then you put one in and the second one is…well, you’re not sure where it is. You can go on an hour-long hunt for the jewelry, but then you’ll miss the big conference with your boss. You regrettably take the first earring out and hope that doesn’t go missing too.

Jewelry can dress up any outfit, but a lot of it is admittedly fragile. Due to the value of most jewelry, you don’t want to misplace it or lose it outright. With jewelry trays in your custom closet, you’ll always know where both earrings in a pair are located. If you want to wear a nice necklace, a tennis bracelet, or even a brooch on your blazer, you can pick out these accessories instantly since you’ll know just where to find them.



Not only can you liven up your wardrobe with jewelry, but you’ll have greater peace of mind, as your precious keepsakes will be quickly located anytime, every time.

Laundry day is already time-consuming enough. When you have to go to your room and then the kids’ bedrooms to pick up their clothes, you don’t want to have to look under beds and in other tiny corners to track down all the week’s laundry. This can get time-consuming very quickly.

Make your life and laundry day infinitely easier by getting hampers set up in all of the custom closets in your home. When you, your spouse, and the kids are looking for something new to wear, they can put yesterday’s clothes in the hamper. As laundry day inevitably rolls around, you can just go hamper to hamper and wash the clothes from there.



Another perk of having hampers in your closets is that the hampers stay out of sight. Yes, everyone needs hampers, but they’re not exactly the most appealing home accessory. Now they can stay hidden away in your closet.

During a job interview, a big presentation, or on special occasions, ties are more often than not a requirement, not a choice. Yet if you or your spouse have a large tie collection, keeping track of all those ties can be a nightmare.



Ties are slim, streamlined, and–let’s be honest–easy to lose. Tie racks fix those problems instantly. With one of these spiffy racks in your custom closet, finding just the right tie is now stress-free. You can see your entire collection in one convenient place. If you have a lucky tie you wear for those big occasions, you can pull it out effortlessly.

Tie racks also give ties a home after being dry cleaned, so they never end up tossed in the back of the closet or balled up in pant pockets.

If the above accessories have your closets clean and organized but you’d like to take things one step further, check out these extra tips for your most organized home yet.

Your winter sweaters shouldn’t mingle with your summer shirts and shorts. With your new custom closet system, you might opt to use drawers or cabinets towards the back of your closet for storing off-season clothing. Then, you’d keep all of your seasonal items hung up on clothing rods or folded in custom closet drawers near the front, so you can get what you need in the mornings without so much hassle.

You probably have a few accessories that you rely on everyday (or close to it), such as a nice hat or even a killer pair of heels. Perhaps you take a few staple clothing items and then get dressed around these each day.



Either way, to maximize the neatness of your closet and save the most time in the mornings, organize your custom closet so all of your everyday clothing items are front and center. You’ll be glad you did!

Is your home begging for reorganization? Tidying up your cluttered spaces starts with tidying up your cluttered closets, as these spaces are where a lot of clothing and accessories get tossed so they’re out of sight and out of mind.



The five accessories described above will make it easier to keep track of smaller items like ties and jewelry, manage laundry day more efficiently, and hang clothes so they’re wrinkle-free and grabbable on those especially hectic and busy weekday mornings.
