CLOSET

Turn your “closet” into a “wardrobe” with some powerful organization—all thanks to cabinets. Tailor your space to your lifestyle, whether your have a weakness for shoes or an overabundance of wool sweaters.

Consider these cabinet uses:

• The more you stack, the more wrinkles appear. Use a system of pullout shelves to keep knit shirts in order.

• Deep drawers are perfect for storing infrequently-worn sweaters.

• Basket storage keeps socks and t-shirts well organized. Just be sure they’re lined with cotton liners to prevent snags, or opt for metal bins.

• Pullout drawers with dividers are an excellent way to separate ties, hosiery, lingerie and jewelry.

• Open shelving is a great way to keep your shoes within reach. Consider angling the shelves downward for better visibility. Keep shoe shining equipment in an adjacent cabinet.

• A shallow cabinet can easily hide a fold-away ironing board.
