The 19 Best Closet Organizers for All Your Clothes and Accessories
Whether you have a tiny closet or a spacious walk-in, the best closet organizers can transform your space and make it easy to find the clothes and accessories you’re looking for.
To determine the best closet organizers, we researched and evaluated the most useful products on the market, from shoe racks and over-the-door hangers to fabric bins. We also spoke with Sarah Giller Nelson, founder and master organizer of Less Is More Organizers, for tips on how to organize your closet and maximize space.
“Make sure to edit your wardrobe before you purchase supplies,” says Nelson. “It’s important to decide what to buy after you know how many items you need to store. You will save so much time and money!”

Shoes are some of the bulkiest items in our closets, so they can quickly become a jumbled mess. We tested this bamboo shoe rack and loved its low-profile design, ample surface area that works for most shoes, stability, and straightforward assembly. While this shoe rack may not be the best option for slim heels, it can organize your flats, sneakers, boots, and wedges in no time. The solid wood construction also gives your closet a bohemian, natural touch.
Material: Wood | Dimensions: 15.75 x 27.51 x 10.23 inches

Hanging closet shelves are a super convenient way to create more vertical space in your closet. The Highland Dunes Janella Hanging Organizer has six compartments that are 12 inches wide and 12 inches deep, creating ample space to store shoes and bags. It also works well as hanging storage for clothes, and is able to accommodate T-shirts, sweaters, jeans, athletic pants, and anything else that can be folded. They are even big enough to comfortably slide storage drawers into.
Unlike many hanging closet shelves, which typically feature fabric shelving, each compartment here is supported by wood. The wooden supports are great because they create a stable, level surface on which your items can rest, making this hanging shelf organizer especially ideal for shoes. Just keep in mind that each shelf has a weight capacity of 10 pounds.
Material: Fabric, wood | Dimensions: 42 x 12 x 12 inches

If you like to keep clothes folded on your closet shelves, dividers are a great way to keep them from toppling over or becoming one chaotic pile. The Sorbus Clear Acrylic Shelf Dividers are affordable, sturdy, and transparent for easy access. They are available in sets of two, four, six, and eight and have a clip you can attach to shelves less than ¾ of an inch. The rounded corners also prevent the acrylic from scratching you when you’re reaching for your folded clothes.
Material: Acrylic | Dimensions: 12 x 8 inches

Long items like pants and scarves can quickly create a mess in your closet. To keep them neat and prevent them from getting lost in the back of your closet, we like the Moralve Space Saving Pant Hangers. This collapsible hanger has five non-slip rods and a patented 360-degree swivel hook designed to maximize your closet space. The horizontal mode helps you see everything on the hanger, while the vertical mode creates much-needed space on your closet rod. This hanger can also hold up to 30 pounds, so you don't need to worry about overloading it with heavy jeans.

Uniform and functional hangers keep your clothes organized and create an overall neater appearance. The Brightroom Suit Flocked Hangers have a slim design to maximize closet space. They have a velvet non-slip coating to prevent your clothes from snagging or falling and a non-swivel head to prevent the hangers from rotating when rifling through your closet to find an outfit. These hangers are available in three neutral colors and come in a pack of 30.
Material: Plastic, velvet coating | Dimensions: 17.5 x 9.4 x .25 inches

Stackable drawers are a great way to structure your storage and keep seasonal items like sweaters tucked away. After all, keeping sweaters folded preserves their shape and delicate materials so they can last season after season. These stackable drawers from The Container Store are made of durable and easy-to-clean clear polystyrene and have convenient pull-out drawers to make it easy to access your items.
Material: Clear polystyrene | Dimensions: 12 x 12.75 x 7.25 inches
