Maximizing Small Spaces: Closet Systems to Keep Your Home Organized

Living in a smaller space doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style or organization. With thoughtful design and the right closet systems, you can make every square inch count. At HomeSource Design Center in Asheville, NC, we specialize in creating custom solutions for homes of all sizes. Here are our top tips for maximizing small spaces with closet systems.

Utilize Vertical Space

Maximize storage by utilizing vertical space. Install shelving and hanging rods that extend up to the ceiling. This approach is perfect for storing seasonal items or less frequently used belongings while keeping everyday items at arm's reach. Add a step stool or ladder to ensure that the highest spaces are still accessible.

Incorporate Adjustable Features

Adjustable shelves and rods allow you to customize your closet as your needs change. Whether it’s accommodating a growing wardrobe or optimizing storage for specific items, flexibility is key.


Add Pull-Out Accessories

Features like pull-out baskets, tie racks, and shoe shelves are game-changers for keeping small items organized and within reach.

Sliding Doors for Space-Saving

Replace traditional hinged doors with sliding or pocket doors to free up valuable floor space, making your room feel more open.


Invest in Custom Closets

Custom-designed closets are tailored to your specific space and storage needs. Our team can help you create a system that maximizes efficiency while reflecting your personal style.

Don’t Forget the Details

Incorporate elements like stylish hardware, drawer dividers, and decorative baskets to make your closet both functional and visually appealing. Utilizing a cohesive color palette can elevate the design and make your closet feel like an extension of your living space.


Keep It Light and Bright

Light colors and ample lighting can make a small space feel larger. Consider LED strip lights under shelves or within cabinets for a polished and functional touch. Also, reflective surfaces can make a small closet feel larger and brighter.
