The issue is, we don’t tend to give little ones the biggest bedrooms in the house, so their closets are usually a tight squeeze, too.  Fortunately, with plenty of hanging rods, savvy drawers, door hooks, and more, you can turn any subpar niche into a rainbow-infused workhorse. Psst: You don’t even have to put their clothes in there at all....

Stacking pots and pans in low kitchen cabinets is by far the most popular storage method. It also happens to be the least convenient. You can be as strategic about it as you like, but somehow the tool you end up needing always seems to be at the bottom of the pile—the corresponding lid nowhere to be found.

As I prepped to move from my studio apartment with two tiny closets to a one-bedroom with six of them—my boyfriend and I were making the leap into cohabitation—I believed I’d found the holy grail of storage.  I imagined it would go a little something like this: I’d get two closets in the bedroom (one with a hanging rack and the other with shelves), while my boyfriend would use a large double wardrobe just outside our room, across from the stacked laundry cabinet (which would house cleaning essentials along with brooms, mops, and stacks of paper towels).
