For the National Association of Professional Organizers, residential clients are their top group of clients. In addition to that, the closet is the number 3 area in a home where organizing services are most often requested  (Statistics: NAPO).

Many people’s clients get messy on occasion, but it's always good to organize!

Here are some tips from HGTV on organizing your closet space.

• Keep things visible.
  Everything in your closet needs to be visible, accessible and labeled , if possible. Hang
  as much as you can on wooden hangers because they preserve clothing 's shape . Try to
  keep as much room as possible between items to prevent wrinkling . If you have boxes,
  clearly label them with what's inside.
• Have proper lighting.
  This tip goes hand in hand with the first one. If you can't see what you've got, you won't wear it, so make sure your closet light reaches into all corners. If not you might consider, mounting an additional light fixture.
• Use brackets as shelf dividers.
  Hang wooden brackets upside down to serve as shelf dividers for things like folded
  sweaters from your scarves. They are a more attractive alternative to wire or plastic
  dividers.
  
  
• Color coordinate.
  Putting your clothes in order of color from lightest to darkest can help you select an item to wear.
• Stack up your stuff.
  Use stackable cubes and boxes with pull-out drawers to take advantage of vertical
  space in your closet. Clear boxes are preferable so you can easily see what's inside.

Wire or wood shelves and new cabinets will help provide extra space for sports equipment and those Sams Club bulk purchases. This will be extra beneficial come fall and winter, when kids' sports are getting busier and storing for a cold winter begins.

Plus, a more organized garage gives you more room to store that cool car!

At Closets by Design, no job is too big or too small. We had the opportunity to create a new custom bedroom set, and are very happy that our customers love their new set! Read on..

"We are just thrilled with our new bedroom. We consider ourselves very lucky to have had you come over for what we had thought would merely be a talk-through of our needs. We're very glad that we went ahead and ordered immediately. You seemed to zero-in immediately on exactly what we needed and wanted for the bedroom.
We had a 46-year-old American of Martinsville set of furniture, and we were reluctant to give it up even though the tops were in very bad shape. We figured we would never be able to duplicate the "craftsmanship" of such a set. However, we are certain that we made the right move. We love the clean lines of our new set and the way the furniture fits in perfectly on the designated wall. You figured the television area just right, so that now we have the perfectly designed wall unit with a television in the middle.
Also, we're very happy with the size of the two nightstands. You designed them to be narrow enough so that we can now add a chair to that area for television-viewing in comfort. You knew we wanted more space in the room and a cleaner look to things. That is just what we now have. We're glad that you spent the time with us to work out the sizes of things, because we now have lovely new furniture, with LOTS of drawer space and cabinet space in the unit itself. We also have, we're happy to say, an uncluttered, "new" bedroom."
