Keeping some kind of order in your closet is hard work when you have as many clothes as my partner and I do. At one point, our closet literally buckled under the pressure of all his coats, blazers, and shirts. After that, we decided it was time to rethink things. And no, we didn't stop buying clothes — that's a WIP — but we did find some ways to ease the burden. You truly won't believe the convenience that a closet organizer can offer, whether your space is teeny tiny or your clothes collection is colossal.
We all know that Target has a huge range of organization products, and this is no different when it comes to closet organizers. So, with 397 results in total on site, I thought I would help narrow it down a bit. Whether it's somewhere to keep your purses, shoes, or general clothing, these products consider every need. Shoppers rate them highly and they all have stellar reviews.
With these products and some much-needed advice onsmall-closet organization, you won't need to chuck out half your wardrobe.
The best Target closet organizers, as rated by shoppers

Before I got to choosing, I caught up with Suzanne Roynon, founder ofInteriors Therapy, to hear more about approaching closet organization. “The secret is to use a closet efficiently to make dressing and storage as simple as possible,” says Roynon. As she sees it, even the smallest closets can be put to good use provided you choose products that maximize usability. For example, "Hanging closet organizers are great when you have surplus rail space but lack drawers or shelving as is often the case in student accommodation, rentals, and starter homes." Equally, you might consider free-standing containers if you have shelf space or want particular possessions separated, such as sneakers, purses, and accessories. Remember, match form to function.
Now that you're set, let's get down to the shopping. These are the nineTarget closet organizersto save your closet.

Did somebody say cuuuute? This handy little number is perfect for keeping clothes — especially your undies and lingerie — tidy and organized how you like them. Personally, I'm here for the baby-pink color, but there are plenty of hues to choose from that would work seamlessly with neutral or maximalist decor. Oh, and this design comes with a hidden feature: It folds and collapses for quick transportation, ideal for dorm living. Yep, I remember those days, too.
