Have you taken a good look at your coat closet lately? Are there even any coats in there? Whether it's a closet near your front door for guest coats or the catchall closet near the family entrance, it should be functional and well-organized to accommodate the needs of your family and guests.
These steps to clean and organize a coat closet work well even if your "closet" is open shelving or hanging storage in a mudroom. Keeping the area organized makes morning and evening routines easier for every member of the family.
How Often to Clean and Organize a Coat Closet
The best way to schedule the organization of a coat closet is to tackle it when the seasons change. Items stored in the closet during summer activities won't always be suitable for cold, winter days. Taking just an hour or so at least twice per year will save you many more hours of frustration later on.

How to Clean and Declutter a Coat Closet

Empty the Closet
Take everything—yes, everything—out of the closet. The only way you can assess what is in there is to spread it all out.

-
Vacuum and Dust
Now that the closet is empty, give it a good cleaning by vacuuming or mopping the floor and dusting any shelves and the hanging rod. A thorough cleaning will help remove insect eggs, larvae, and droppings.
Tip
With the closet empty, it's a good time to add a pop of color with a coat of fresh paint or some wallpaper. It's a good incentive to keep the newly organized closet neat and tidy.

Sort the Closet Contents
With the contents of the closet spread out on the floor, begin sorting it all into four piles:
- Return to another spot
- Donate
- Discard
- Replace in the closet

Return Items to Their Proper Spot
This pile is for all the things that have gotten stuck in the closet that shouldn't be there. Unless you have an exceptionally large coat storage area, this is not the place for sports equipment, toys, or snow shovels.
The Spruce / Sarah Lee
-
Donate
Sort through coats, boots, scarves, gloves, and hats that no longer fit or are worn. Wash or dry clean them and donate to a local charity. Make sure that you take them to the charity within one week so they won't get stuffed back in the closet.

-
Discard
Discard broken umbrellas and badly worn boots or shoes. Recycle paper goods and anything that your local waste management company can accommodate.

-
Replace Remaining Items in the Closet
Appropriate items for a coat closet are, of course, coats and jackets, outerwear accessories, umbrellas, boots, and dog-walking supplies.
If possible, store only the appropriate seasonal items. Sort coats by length to provide the most wall space for shelves or storage bins.
Follow the 80/20 rule. The storage area should be no more than 80 percent full. The remaining 20 percent is for guest coats and breathing room so that coats will not be overly-wrinkled. Keep a donation box handy and as new items go in, an older item can be placed in the box for donation.

Coat Closet Organization Ideas and Tips
-
Use the Right Hangers
Invest in some sturdy hangers for heavy coats. This will keep them from falling to the floor. Wooden cedar hangers are an excellent choice for woolen items.
Include a few skirt hangers. The clips are great for holding gloves or scarves.

-
Make Use of the Door Space
The interior of the closet door is the perfect place for hanging lightweight items.
- Add a vertical shoe storage bag to hold small items. You can even label each pocket to help kids find their gloves and hat.
- Install hooks for hats, purses, backpacks, and dog leashes.
- Add narrow wire baskets or hanging file holders for mail or small items.
- Install towel or curtain rods with shower curtain clip rings for hats and scarves.

-
Creative Ideas for the Closet Floor
Once you know the length of your coats, assess the floor space. You may be able to have shelving installed across the entire width of the closet or add a shorter custom set of shelves.
Use the shelves for shoe and boot storage, This can be left as open shelving or add baskets to hide the clutter.
The Spruce / Sarah Lee
-
Organize the Upper Shelf
Almost all coat closets have at least one upper shelf. This is the perfect spot for baskets or plastic tubs—don't forget to add labels—for additional storage.
Look up in the closet. There may be room to add another coat closet shelf above the one already in place. Be sure there is room to access it as a great way to add some additional storage for seasonal items.
The Spruce / Sarah Lee
-
Don't Forget Wall Space
If you don't have many coats, you may find that the closet works better with just a small hanging area and the rest of the wall space dedicated to shelves. Wire shelving is simple to install and very practical.
You may even find that there is space between the door and the coats for a few hooks to hold umbrellas or dog leashes.
The Spruce / Sarah Lee
-
Install Built-In Storage
Permanent storage solutions can be used to maximize space in a small closet. Consider installing a built-in storage system that offers upper shelves and a clothing rod. Coats and jackets can hang on the rod, while your most-used accessories can be stored on the upper shelves to keep them easily visible for daily use.
Opt for a system that includes shelving and drawers underneath the clothing rod. Here, you can store hats, gloves, and scarves in drawers and organize extra shoes on the shelves.
-
Use Garment Bags
When your coats aren't in season, you create more space in your coat closet by storing them in garment bags that can be vacuum sealed. Place these items in the back corners of the closet during warmer months of the year when they aren't being used.
Standard garment bags without vacuum sealing are also an excellent way to protect delicate or valuable coats from damage throughout the year (especially when it comes to fur or faux fur items).
-
Double Up on Space
A simple and budget-friendly organization idea for small coat closets is to add a second clothing rod below the upper rod. This works great to maximize hanging room for coats, light jackets, sweaters and more.
If you need to maintain room on the floor, you can move your current clothing rod higher up in the closet. This will allow you to hang two levels of coats with extra storage space below them.
-
Hang Baskets From Clothing Rods
If you don't have enough coats to fill the entire closet, you can benefit from hanging baskets on your clothing rod. Use simple shower hooks attached to the basket's handle for an easy, removable option.
Here, you can store small accessories or even miscellaneous things like tools, flashlights, and other daily items. Adding a basket specifically for mail can keep important papers organized without them cluttering your home's living areas.
-
Choose Clear Bins for Your Least-Used Items
Some items in your coat closet will always see more daily use than others. Instead of keeping your least-used items out for easy accessibility, simply store them in clear bins on the floor or shelves.
Clear storage bins make it extra easy to see everything inside without taking items out. Opt for a few small bins on the top shelf organized by type, or utilize one large bin at the bottom of your closet to wrangle items you don't need often.
-
Save Space in Deep Closets
Not all coat closets are equal, and it's common for this space to have an awkward layout. If your coat closet is small and deep, consider moving the clothing rod from front to back instead of side to side. This works best in deep closets with enough room to walk on one side.
If your closet isn't wide enough to accommodate clothing from front to back, you can move the clothing rod to the back of the room and leave it in its current orientation from side to side. Add small hanging cubbies on one side wall before the clothing rod to store accessories and other small items.
-
Store Seasonal Accessories in the Back
Large scarves and out-of-season hats don't need to take up your coat closet's prime real estate throughout the year. While you may already have hooks behind the door or on the side walls, you can also install hooks on your closet's back wall.
Here, you can store seasonal clothes like scarves and hats during warm weather. In the winter, this space can hold your favorite swimsuits and summer hats for a year-round storage solution.
-
Organize by Zone
With a wide variety of items inside your coat closet, you can't always organize every cubby or basket by type. However, you can still set up the entire closet with zones.
Keep coats and heavy jackets on one side of your clothing rod, then reserve the other side for sweaters and lighter jackets or flannels. Separate other zones by placing shoes together, along with dedicating specific places for accessories and miscellaneous items.
-
Add Cubbies Below Your Coats
Your coat closet may already have plenty of space for hanging clothing—especially if you don't own many coats. Instead of focusing on outerwear, look to the floor. Here, you can add cubbies (either built-in or store-bought) to separate items for easy access.
Opt for cubbies with small compartments if you're in need of shoe storage, or choose a variety of large and small cubbies to make room for baskets and smaller accessories.
-
Separate Each Family Member's Accessories
Especially in homes with multiple children, it can be difficult to keep accessories and smaller items from getting mixed up. Thankfully, there's an easy way to store them functionally in your coat closet.
Add hanging storage baskets behind the door with a basket for each family member. Choose bathroom storage baskets or magazine baskets for a slim option that leaves plenty of room for clothing inside the closet.
-
Hang Gloves From Clothespins
Gloves are often exposed to winter weather, and in reality, they aren't always perfectly dry when we come back inside and remove them. Instead of storing your most-used gloves in cubbies or drawers, you can separate them without taking up much space.
Add thin rods or a vertical clothesline wire in your coat closet, either on an inside corner or behind the door. Here, you can add clothespins to pin pairs of gloves together while allowing them to air dry. Bonus: This also ensures that two gloves of the same pair always stay together for easy grab-and-go on cold mornings.
-
Remove Your Clothing Rod
If you have a large amount of coats, it may actually be easier to reach them without a clothing rod. Replace the rod with multiple coat hooks lining each side and the back of your closet to quickly hang them up and find what you're looking for.
You won't have to wrestle with hangers or pushing coats back and forth to fit them inside—plus, if you have any hooks left over, they can be installed at the front corners for scarves and accessories.
FAQ
-
Coat closets are typically used to store jackets, coats, and other accessories, but this space can also be utilized for items like umbrellas, shoes, hats, gloves, and more. If your home has minimal closet space, your coat closet is the perfect place to add functional storage solutions with dedicated sections for each type of item.
-
When they're not in season, you can store coats by folding them delicately in bins to save space in your coat closet. During the winter, you can store them inside a coat closet or add wall hooks in another room for your most-used coats to keep extra items out of sight in the closet.
-
Rolling clothes is a great space-saving technique for items like shirts, pants, light sweaters, and other small items. If you have bulkier articles of clothing that cannot be stored on a hanger, it's helpful to fold each item in half and stack it below smaller items in a storage bin.

Do you need to duck every time you open up the door to your coat closet from fear that a stray tennis racket or golf club might come crashing down? When well-organized, a coat closet can work as a de facto mudroom where you store not only your coats but also those essential items that help you get out the door quickly. Yet, all too often, coat closets become catch-alls for items that don’t belong there. How to best organize your closet? You may find that you benefit from some closet organizers that help to create a place for everything and you’ll also want to do a closet cleanout to make sure you’re not needlessly storing coats that no longer fit or gear for sports that are no longer played. Once you’ve tried these coat closet organization ideas, you just may find you’re ready to organize your utility closet.
What to store in your coat closet
The first step in your path to coat closet organizations is to decide what to store—and not store—in it. The answer will depend on how much space you have, but in general, aside from the obvious, in-season coats and jackets, you may also store hats, gloves, and other outerwear accessories, umbrellas, footwear, and dog-walking supplies. To ensure entry closet organization, keep only the items for the current season in the closet. Do not overcrowd the closet, coats can wrinkle, and zippers can snag the fabric, give them some breathing room.
If you must keep out-of-season coats and accessories in your coat closet year-round, at least move them out of the prime real estate in the front to a less accessible spot. And, unless your closet is especially large it’s not the best spot to store sporting equipment, toys, snow shovels, or gift wrap. Whenever possible move those items to bins in a different part of your home, like the garage or basement.
The next step in your coat closet cleanout is to identify what can be passed on. Look for coats, boots, scarves, gloves, and hats that no longer fit, aren’t a favorite, or not used. After checking the pockets, add them to a bag earmarked for donation. Consider leaving a to-be-donated bag standing on the floor of the closet, so whenever you come across an item you no longer need or want, put it in the bag. When the bag is close to full, schedule a pickup by a charitable organization or drop the bag off at a local thrift store. A good rule of thumb when it comes to coat closet organization: don’t keep anything that is stained, torn, or anything in disrepair. Discard worn-out boots and sneakers. Let go of single gloves or mittens, well-worn scarves, and broken umbrellas.
How to organize your coats and jackets
Aside from moving out-of-season coats to a different closet or to the back of the hall closet, coats are best stored by length, longest to shortest, with the longest coats to one far side and shorter coats and jackets towards the middle. This provides the most wall space for shelves on one side and under-hanging storage bins on the floor under the shortest items.

Save space
One of the biggest issues with coats, especially those puffy winter coats, is that they’re big and bulky. You can save space and safely store less frequently used jackets in a garment vacuum bag.
Add more hanging space
Another advantage of organizing coats by length is that you may have room for a second, lower hanging rack. Most closets are tall enough to have two hanging racks and still have space towards the floor. The adjustable lower rack puts jackets at the perfect height for children to reach independently, making it one of the best kid’s closet ideas.

Use the right coat hangers
A wooden hanger is sturdy enough to hold even your heaviest winter jacket without bending or breaking. We like these Basic Walnut Wooden Clothes Hangers from The Container Store because they’re made of solid, renewable, lotus wood, have a swivel neck so you can grab your coat without removing the hanger from the rod, and the ribbing on the hanger bar grips coordinating accessories, like a scarf, to keep matching sets together.
How to organize your shoes
The shoes you wear most often are best stored in the coat closet, where they are convenient to grab on the way out the door. The idea is to store just the ones currently in rotation because you’ll quickly run out of room if you store every pair here. Reaching for the pair you want is easy when you use shoe racks to display them. You can give each family member a section or shelf of their own, so they know right where to find theirs.

Store sneakers smartly
Our pick for storing sneakers is this Bamboo Stackable Shoe Shelf from The Container Store. Made from renewable, hardy bamboo, this two-shelf system solves the “I can’t find the other shoe” problem. At only 28″ x 11″ it fits most closets and holds 6-8 pairs of shoes, depending on the size. Add on a rack if you need even more storage. If your walk-in closet organization ideas include storing shoes this is a great option for that closet as well. Pro tip: Place a throw rug underneath the rack to catch any dirt or debris, then shake out as needed.

Toss flip-flops and sandals in a basket
When the weather turns warmer your choice of footwear might change. Thin flip-flops and flat sandals can easily go missing in the closet. Keep them matched up by storing them in a fabric-lined basket on the shoe rack or on a shelf above. At the end of the season launder the liner, then re-purpose the basket as storage for colder weather accessories.
via containerstore.com
Keep boots upside down
Bulky snow, rain, and fashion boots take up lots of space and can be a coat closet organization challenge. Storing boots upside down is a little-known trick to preserve the boot’s shape; if the shaft isn’t straight, it can develop a crease. A foldable boot rack like this one from The Container Store means you can tuck it away during those non-boot-wearing months. Simply slip taller boots over the back wooden pegs and shorter ones in the front.
How to organize miscellaneous items
Purge old umbrellas
Broken umbrellas belong in the trash, not in your closet. Make space by paring down to just the umbrellas that work. To ensure you’ll have one when you need it, keep an umbrella in the car. Oversize golf umbrellas fit in the car trunk and slide compact ones in the console. When storing them in the closet, hang umbrellas with wrist straps from hooks. Longer styles work best in a narrow holder with a heavy base which will prevent it from tipping over.

Round up reusable tote bags
Before you stow those bags away inspect them to ensure they are worth keeping. Some may be too flimsy to be useful, others may have tears or broken handles. Once you’ve pared down to the ones you like enough to keep, store them by nesting the smaller ones inside the largest one. Leave the bag of bags on the floor of the closet, hang it from a hook, or tuck them in a rack hung on the back of the door.
Pack seasonal items
Unless you live where it is mostly the same weather year-round you will have some seasonal items—winter gloves and scarves, sun visors, gardening hats, and the like—to stow away. Use breathable stacking fabric bins with attached lids to keep the items dust-free. The attached lid means you’ll never misplace it, and the clear windows allow you to view the contents without unstacking them. Measuring just under a foot, this Mdesign bin fits on most shelves or on the floor of the closet. They can collapse flat when not in use.

General organizing tips
It’s not only the coats and shoes that take up a lot of space, it’s all those bags, accessories, dog gear, and more that tend to get strewn around. Adding in some smart organizers will help to give everything its own place.
Add modular drawers
Once you know the length of your coats, calculate the reachable floor space. Assess how much room you have for additional coat closet organization solutions, like a drawer system, by measuring from the bottom of the hanging items to the floor. You may be able to add drawers across the entire width of the closet or just on one side. Give each family member a drawer (labeled with their name!) so they’ll have a spot to keep all their odds and ends.
via thecontainerstore.com
Maximize vertical space
One of the best small closet ideas is adding a customizable rack on the back of the closet door. The answer to many of your storage woes, this versatile organizer has hooks, small cubbies, racks, and mesh baskets allowing you to store all kinds of odds and ends—keys and hats fit on the hooks, sunglasses, and wallets can be tossed in the small bins, while umbrellas, flashlights, a dog leash, re-useable bags, and your purse can go in the sturdy, mesh baskets. It’s customizable to your needs as the baskets and hooks can be easily repositioned.
Consider a closet system
Closet systems are built-ins for your closets that come in all shapes and sizes. This one from Elfa Decor can be used in a small closet or placed in an entryway as a makeshift closet if your home doesn’t have one. We like that it has a hanging rack for coats, a gliding, fold away ventilated shoe rack, and two shelves for other accessories.
Hang an accordion hook rack
Why install just a single hook when you can have ten hooks in about ten inches of space? This accordion hook rack gives you lots of storage in not a lot of space to hang your everyday jacket, purse, tote bags, scarves, baseball caps, umbrellas, lunch boxes, and even backpacks.
via containerstore.com
Use clear stackable bins
Borrow one of the best linen closet organizing ideas for your coat closet: clear bins. These stackable sweater drawers from The Container Store mean no more searching for those grab-and-go items, such as scarves, face masks, or flashlights. These work well as overhead bins because storage on higher-up shelves isn’t as easy to see into; with these, you can just find what you want at a glance. These are the must-have organizers from The Home Edit.
Make the most coat closet shelving with fabric cubes
Make smart use of any upper shelving with these fabric cubes from Mdesign. The cutout handles make them easy to pull down and the clear panel means there is no mystery as to what’s inside. These square-based bins maximize your storage space, unlike those with narrow, tapered bases. Save these for lightweight items, like scarves, that are not difficult or dangerous to lift overhead.
Install lower shelving
You don’t need carpentry skills to install bracket coat closet shelving towards the floor. Screw L-shaped brackets into the wall, about a foot off the floor (for added security make sure they screw into a stud). Place a board on top of the brackets and the shelf becomes instant storage. Lower shelves are ideal for heavier items that would be dangerous to store overhead in case they fell.
Wafue/Getty Images
Add lighting
Not typically considered an organizing tool, lighting can be just as important as any hook or basket when it comes to coat and utility closet organizing. Think about it: finding what you want in a dark closet is time-consuming and keeping a dark closet neat isn’t easy. Illuminate the closet interior with this no-wiring-necessary, battery-operated, stick-up light bar. Motion-activated lighting, like this stick-on, LED light from Motion Brite saves on battery life, because it automatically turns on when you open the closet door and turns off after a few seconds of no movement. Here are more of the smartest closet lighting ideas.

8 storage ideas for summer clothes that will keep you organized
How to store your summer wardrobe? Told in the video!
1 Keep it all in the closed case
Cloth-lined cases help keep clothes cleaner. Such a “bag” is convenient to get and store, it is more compact than a plastic organizer. Due to the fact that it is closed with a zipper, the clothes will not fall out when you take out the wardrobe trunk from the top shelves. And transparent inserts will help you quickly determine what kind of clothes are inside.
Social media blogger thisgirlcanorganise
2 Label baskets
Out-of-season clothes are usually stored in the most inaccessible parts of the closet, and getting them out of there can be problematic. If you suddenly need something from your summer wardrobe, it will be much easier to find it in a labeled basket than to get it all at once. If the storage containers have opaque sides, be sure to sign them or decorate them with decorative stickers with symbols.
Social media blogger me_and_you_equals_two
3 Stack vertically
Vertical storage works great not only for organizing entire closets and shelving, but also at the scale of a clothes organizer. To prevent things from wrinkling and taking up less space, fold them in a roll or vertical stacks, as in the photo below. So more clothes will fit into one organizer, and storage will be more ergonomic.

4 Clear out a few shelves
Trying to organize your entire summer wardrobe into empty spaces on already crowded shelves is a bad idea. Most likely, even if he fits in there, the extra clothes will violate the existing order. It is best to allocate separate shelves for out-of-season items or even an entire closet compartment, if space permits. Organize the rest of the space as you always do, and fill the additional "seasonal" section with things that are temporarily not needed.

5 Make room for bags
Bags are an important part of any wardrobe that needs special storage. If you fold them randomly, where necessary, it will create a mess, and the products themselves may be damaged. Provide one or more shelves for these accessories. And if there is no space, you can attach hooks to the door or hang an organizer for summer bags on a bar.

6 Use the top of the shelves
Closet shelves are usually only half full. This makes storage less capacious. To more compactly organize summer items, use organizers that are attached to the top of the shelf and take up space that is usually empty. You can put both small accessories and more voluminous things in them: T-shirts, pajamas, swimwear.

7 Organize your hats
If you love hats, be sure to think of some convenient storage for these accessories. So that they do not wrinkle and do not take up too much space in the closet, use additional surfaces. For example, you can attach hooks to the walls or doors of a closet where out-of-season clothes are stored.

8 Place baskets on wardrobe
If you don't have much space to store your summer wardrobe, use the space at the top of the wardrobe. As a rule, it is enough to organize additional storage. It is important to arrange everything neatly so that there is no feeling of a visual mess. For convenient and aesthetic storage, wicker or fabric baskets with opaque walls are suitable.

Each thing on separate hangers, in no case in layers - this ideal, of course, for many unattainable. There are multi-tiered hangers, they will save a little space in the closet, and at the same time things will remain in sight. Hangers are easy to upgrade and do it yourself - just fasten them with keys from aluminum cans.
Idea #2: one rod is good, but two is better
Try to fix not one, but two hanger rods in two rows. Hang skirts, trousers, jeans on the lower bar; on the top - blouses, tops, sweaters, cardigans. Can optionally sort clothes by type: blouses to blouses, trousers to trousers. But not forget to leave room for long things - and do not make a bar under them: dresses, maxi skirts, coats, raincoats will be stored here.
Idea No. 3: strict accounting
Smart idea - use for organization space with signs, pictures, sign, hang photos outfits for wardrobe doors.
Search Among the many shoe boxes, the right one is not an easy task. Do photos of each pair of shoes and attach them to the appropriate boxes. Now, when searching, you will not need to turn the entire cabinet upside down.
Idea #4: laundry organizers
The power of small things is that there are many of them. Small wardrobe items - panties, socks, tights, bras - are not easy to organize, which means a mess in the chest of drawers and extra time to pack. Laundry is best stored in drawers. So that the search for the right thing does not turn into an adventure, you can buy laundry organizers. Their practicality, efficiency and beautiful design will appeal to true connoisseurs of harmony. And socks, tights, stockings can be folded into retractable baskets.

You can collect outfits for several days in advance and hang them together, for this there are very interesting design solutions outside closet.
Idea #8: Proper storage of bags
Bags can be stored as outside the cabinet as well as inside it. It must be remembered that the suspension option only suitable for bags that are used quite often (otherwise they will collect dust), and if the bags are fabric. Leather ones quickly lose their shape, stretch handles, especially if the bag is heavy.
It is better to store bags on the shelves, placing them vertically in a row, you can use separators. The most convenient place to store bags is a closet in the hallway.
