Organizing Your Guest Room Closet

We understand that not everyone has the same taste or budget. Some desire a professional look as others love the creative aspect of the DIY (Do-it-yourself) options. In our articles, we like to represent both sides of the coin to help you make the best choice for your needs. Happy decorating!

When your guests come for a visit, you want them to have all the creature comforts of home, so you prepare fresh linens and towels, but have you thought about the guest room closet? Is there ample room to accommodate for your guests luggage? If your room is on the smaller side, luggage might take up most of the walking space so the closet is very important. How do you get this closet ready for company? Below are a few tips to revamp that closet!

How much hanging or shelving should I have in this closet?

It is good to have a mix of hanging and shelving in your guest room closet. The hanging section will serve as a place to hang coats or garment bags and the shelving is great for extra pillows and blankets. Shelves with baskets are a wonderful solution for a room without a dresser. They also provide a uniform look.

What is the difference between short, medium and long hanging units?

• Short Hanging/Double Hanging, is best for everyday shirts, short jackets and sweaters that are hung.
• Medium hanging is for dresses and pants hung long by the cuff.
• Long hanging is for floor length coats and formal dresses.

 You can choose the hanging that will serve your needs best.

 A few accessories that are easy to add to any closet are; Belt Racks, Valets, Tie/ Scarf Racks, Pants Rack and Baskets

DIY option: attach shower curtain rings to a hanger and loop belts and scarves through the rings.
