Whether it's an empty closet in your tiny apartment or something you can actually step into (we're jealous!), there's always space for improvement when it comes to organizing your closet. And no, we're not talking about hiring a pro organizer to come over to your home — if only the budget allowed — instead we're telling you to buy a closet organizer.

Your closet is probably stuffed with clothes, purses, shoes, hats, and out-of-season outfits. Essentially, this hidden space holds some of your most prized possessions. Whether you're a little stretched for space or you're just fed up with it looking like a hot mess (it's not very motivational on a Monday morning, is it?) then stay with us.

We've listed everything from specially designed buys to keep your shoes in order, to closet organizers to add more shelving to your home (without drilling any holes into your walls. Genius!

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO ORGANIZE A CLOSET?

We've been chatting with organization experts to get an answer to how you should organize your closet — especially if it's small. Hester Van Hien from Tidylicious (who is also part of The Spark Joy Collective) told us to "divide your items into categories, and keep categories separate by using storage boxes and/or dividers." This is a great place to start once you've done some decluttering and sent some items to your local thrift store. "So if you store socks and underwear in the same drawer, keep the socks separate from the underwear" she adds. "If categories mix, a drawer can start to look messy. And mess usually attracts mess, making your drawer look cluttered" she finishes saying. So, keeping everything separated it is! Bearing in mind there are so many closet organizers out there, this should be easy peasy. And, you might want to grab your label maker out.
