Closet Design  

Designing a closet can be more important (and difficult) than one can imagine. A common example would be how a husband and wife would prefer to keep their things in a closet. In an effort to avoid butting heads on the subject, a plan has to be created. Like most plans and designs, a closet design should follow the SMART method (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time). Setting parameters (even for yourself if you have your own closet) can really keep your closet in order, and keep you, and spouse if you have one, happy.  

However, when designing how you want the closet, may be a good idea to overestimate the space you are going to need. It is common to just gather things and toss them in the closet, and following the 80/20 rule, people are only going to wear or use 20 percent of what they have, while the other 80 percent is there for precaution. Keeping that in mind, designing a closet where you can easily access the items you’ll use on a regular basis would be best, while keeping other space for “clutter” in an area where it could be a little more difficult to reach.
