Using A Wooden Closet Organizer To Full Advantage

Closet organizers allow you to make the most of the space within your closet or wardrobe. Not only that, but it also permits you to organize your closet's contents so that they are easily retrievable. A closet organizer permits you to put your shoes together, your belts together and to sort out all your other accessories. There is no doubt that a closet organizer is a good idea, the only choice left is whether you make or buy your closet organizer.

The best closet organizer will fit your closet snugly, perfectly. This makes buying one the worse option, so if you are at all practical, the better option is to make your own closet organizer to suit your closet precisely. There is of course, one other choice, you could have it made for you, but that is the most costly option.

If you come to a decision to make your organizer yourself, the easiest thing to do is to get hold of a good set of woodworking drawings. The wood working drawings will depict an exploded diagram of the closet organizer. Therefore, if your closet is not the same size as the one in the drawing, you will have to adjust the dimensions in the drawings.

This is not so difficult, you will just have to work out the ratio of the closet organizer in the plans to the size of your own closet. For instance if the closet in the plans is four feet wide but your closet is six feet wide, you will need to increase the dimensions in the drawings by 50%. Likewise for the depth of the closet.

If you decide to have the organizer made up for you, you will need to specify the wood to be used and the finish to be applied to it. These decisions will also have to be taken if you decide to make your organizer yourself. If you do , it is best for you to get all the bits and pieces together that you will require before you start manufacture.

Another matter is what you want the organizer to hold. This could differ depending on your sex. Women tend to have more accessories, men tend to have more socks. Therefore, a woman's closet organizer should have lots of small drawers, whereas a man's may only have a few of them.

The wood you use to make the organizer from should match the colour and kind of timber already used in the manufacture of the wardrobe or closet itself. It is better if they match. There really is little point in investing in a hand-made closet organizer made from mahogany and beautifully stained, if the wardrobe itself is constructed from compressed wood chippings.
