Cleaning Out Your Closet? These Are the 12 Essentials Pro Organizers Swear By

They make organizing and tidying up less of a headache.

By ,

Closet organization is never a finished job. Since this is a space you constantly add to and take away from, how it will look from year to year will be so different. Take the closet where you keep your clothes and accessories as a prime example—the quest to get this place into tip-top shape is always a work in progress, especially now that we’re thinking about “switching out our closets” for fall.

To get started, we asked professional organizers what their favorite Amazon items are for taming those closet messes. After all, you may find yourself in need of more hangers or special boxes to store away your summer clothes and to hang up your cold-weather gear. If you have multiple closets and don’t need to go through a “switch out,” know that this is an enviable position to be in. However, you can still use any of the organizing essentials the pros recommended to spruce up your closet for the new season ahead.

"Velvet-covered slim-line hangers are one of my favorite closet upgrades. They take up less space than traditional plastic or wooden hangers, allowing you to fit more clothing while maintaining a uniform, streamlined look. Plus, the velvet texture prevents garments from slipping off, so your closet stays tidy. You'll also immediately notice a difference when you use just one color of hangers in your closet, as using just one color reduces the visual clutter."

This woven storage basket is a game-changer for EVERY room in the house, and I've checked that it's currently on sale! Woven baskets like these are primarily perfect for laundry, but they also work wonderfully as a versatile storage solution; think toys, pillows, blankets, or even extra scarves that you want to keep handy for the chillier days in fall. The woven texture gives it that Autumn feel, making it the perfect addition to a fall-inspired space. Plus, I love the handles - they're an extra feature that makes organizing spaces even easier!

—Courtney Cole, Interior Designer, TileCloud

"Clear drawer organizers are another one I commonly use because they work in every room, such as makeup drawers, kitchen utensils, junk drawers, or desk supplies. Clients love how customizable they are, and they transform how a drawer looks without much effort."
