What's is a walk-in closet?
A walk-in closet is a space which has ample room to walk in. A typical walk-in closet is generally two to four times larger than a normal wardrobe. It offers increased storage for bulky items and shoes, by way of shelving units and shelves on the floors and walls, racks or clothes horses that can hold up to twelve clothing items each, as well as drawers built into some of the walls that can be used for underwear or smaller hanging items like scarves.

Organizing your walk-in closet
The way you organize your walk in closet depends upon the amount of available space. If you have a small walk-in closet, you may want to store all of your items flat on the floor or hang them on racks placed right on top of it. You can place the racks close together, so that clothing items will be displayed in clusters.
Storge Racks
You can also place the hangers on the floor and place clothes upon them. Another good option available is to purchase a storage rack system. These racks consist of wooden shelves that can be adjusted to fit over the horizontal rods.
Clothes hanging systems
Another option is to use some sort of clothes hanging system that would help you organize and store your clothes in closets. Clothes hangers are an excellent choice, as they help you hang your clothes vertically instead of hanging them horizontally like on racks or in drawers. These also save space by allowing you to store all kinds of items in one central spot such as sweaters, jackets, blouses, skirts, pants etc., which makes finding what you want simple and fast.
Shelves
In case you're seeking for an alternative, you can also consider organizing your closet with shelving units. The majority of these systems are made from wood. But there are also some options that are made of other materials such as plastic or metal too. Finally, if you prefer to keep your clothes neatly folded on your shelves, then you can use the Hanging Folders which come in a variety of colors and designs and start by converting your closet into a more organized one.
Group by different type of clothes
For example, you can organize your closet by grouping all your blouses, shirts and sweaters in one row. Also you can consider a similar group for your trousers and jackets as well as those shoes that are always on the floor.
Go from basic to stylish
Hanging items is a good way of organizing your wardrobe but there is also a more stylish way to organize them without losing the space you need for hanging clothes in your walk-in closet. A more classy option would be having shelves built into the walls of your walk-in closet. These shelves can then be used for storing accessories such as scarves, belts etc.
Categorize according to season and occassion
Different items of clothing have different seasons and occasions. For instance, you can organize your clothes in the warmer months according to color; so for example, you can have some racks for summer clothes and other racks for winter clothes. You can do the same with different types of shoes so that they are easily identifiable from each other to make it easier for you to find the correct ones at a glance.
Conclusion
By having a well-organized closet you will have more space for hanging clothing and shoes, which will make your walk-in closet look neat and tidy. Don't forget to purchase a clothes hanger that suits your personality so that you can make it fun to go to your walk-in closet daily, instead of seeing it as a chore.
