If you're planning to use a closet for extra storage space, you should learn about all the options you have when it comes to installing closet storage systems. There are literally thousands of different shelving units, bins, and boxes for you to pick from.
You'll first need to decide what's most important to you: Form, function, or a combination of the two. If it doesn't matter how coordinated everything is in your storage area, you'll have more options available to you. Canvas toes, rolling bins, and plastic tubs are just some examples.
There is a vast assortment of plastic bins and totes by Rubbermaid that you can use in your closet storage area. They could be as small as containers used for food (great for craft supplies or tools), or giant tote bags for everything from patio furniture cushions or Christmas decorations.
What you can do is put the large bins on the floor under the shelves, then fill up the shelves with bins of different sizes.
Labeling is one of the keys to good closet storage systems. You should clearly label each tote, bin, and tub so that you'll always know what's inside.
It's best to keep all similar items in one place, so that way you can tell what's in any box just at a glance. You can use a label maker to make the process easier, and you can always peel off the labels and switch them out later if you need to.
Another option is to label the storage bin with a permanent marker, or you can tape a piece of paper to the side or front of the bin that describes the contents.
Some of the most popular organizes are the clear or translucent bins; you don't have to do quite as detailed labels with these. Since you can readily see the contents, you're more organized and you save even more time.
Rubbermaid also has a good selection of clear bins you can use as part of your closet storage systems as well. You can also find specialty storage items for your closet too, designed to hold things such as gift wrap, hobby supplies, and craft items.
