Using A Closet Organizer In The Kid’s Closet

By Tom M. | Published: January 27, 2010

Closet organizers are great. They keep your clothes and other items all neat and tidy. So, why not use them in your children’s closet as well. Actually, my own kid’s closet needed one more than mine did. But, a closet organizer kit was just the foundation to keeping my son organized.

I did plenty of online research to find just the right organizer kit for his closet. I took everything out to begin with. This is actually a great time to sort through a lot of clothes that he just doesn’t wear anymore. And, of course, these clothes can be handed down to younger siblings or relatives. Personally, I used this opportunity as a teaching moment. I let him pick through the clothes he didn’t want anymore and we both went down to the nearby donation center. Its always a good idea to teach kids to be charitable as early as possible.

Once everything was cleared out and sorted through, I now had a better idea of the space that was available and took some measurements (this is a really important step). Since this is a child’s closet, make sure you consider their height when installing a closet organizer. I dropped the kit down about eighteen inches when I installed it. Your height will depend on the height of your child.

You can also install an additional lower bar that makes it easy for your child to grab his/her own clothes. Your child will actually grow into the closet and eventually be able to reach clothes on the upper rod.

Don’t worry if the shelves are too high for them to reach. You can put clothes that are out of season on them in plastic containers. For safety reasons, don’t put anything too heavy up high as this could fall down on top of them if they do try and get something down by themselves. I place most items on the shelf in plastic containers that are labeled.

Since you probably have the extra room up high, don’t be afraid to add a few additional shelves. In my opinion, you can never have enough shelving in a closet.

Now, all you have left to do is to teach your child how to keep the closet neat, clean and organized. Show them the proper way to fold and hang their own clothes. They need to know how to utilize their new closet organizer so its best to teach them sooner than later.
