How Custom Closet Systems Make It Easier to Go Back to School

Shoes Are Always Paired Together

How many of your mornings start exactly like this?

“Mom! Dad! I can’t find my other shoe!”

Thus commences a 10-minute hunt for your child’s missing shoe, which you evidently find was under the bed or tucked in a corner of the house that no one would have thought to look for otherwise.

Even though you get the kids up with plenty of time to spare before school, losing 10 minutes like that means that you’ll all be cutting it close with your morning today. Already the day is off to a frazzled start and no one's even left the house yet!

With a shoe fence in a kids’ custom closet, gone will be those kinds of mornings. Your child won’t have to wonder where their other shoe is because it will be right there on the shoe fence or rack.

They can grab both shoes, put them on, and be ready to leave for school with time to spare. 

Belts and Ties Are Easily Accessible

Does your child have a school uniform that requires them to wear a belt, a tie, or even both?If so, then you know how often these accessories seem to go missing. You’ll ask your child what happened to their belt or tie and they’ll just shrug, point to their closet, and say, “I think it’s in there.”

Opening the closet reveals a deluge of clothes, toys, and shoes. You dig, and maybe you find the tie before your child has to go to school, but then it’s wrinkled.

You have to take a few minutes you don’t have to iron the tie.

It can be hard to concentrate on your own tasks with so much excitement so early in the morning!

With a belt and tie rack in a custom closet, your child will have just the place to put all their thin, easily-lost accessories. They can grab what they need in the morning, you won’t have to iron their ties quite so often, and everyone is happier.

Organizers Make It Simple to Choose Clothes by Season or Color

Closet organizers are one of the best features of a custom closet. You can configure them in nearly any way you want to organize your custom closet by the season or by any criteria of your choosing.

For example, you can organize the items in your kids’ custom closets according to the season so that their cool-weather clothes are in the front during the autumn and winter and their warm-weather clothes are in the back until the spring.

When spring finally does arrive again, you can do the reverse. The Organized Mom has some good tips on switching out clothes for the season.

You can even use custom closet organizers to sort your child’s clothes according to color if that’s something they find agreeable.

Those two examples are some of many. You and your family should put your heads together to gauge what will work best for keeping your kids’ closets neat with closet organizers. 

Backpacks Are Reachable for More Grab-and-Go Days 

Your child never leaves for school without their backpack, but it can be easily misplaced.

It’s a lot easier to find than their homework or an errant shoe or a belt, that’s for certain, but nevertheless, it gets frustrating having to go on a wild goose chase every single morning.

This is yet another case where custom closets are so valuable. You can use closet accessories such as valet rods or hooks to hang your child’s backpack in the closet at the end of the day.

In the morning, the backpack will be there, then in the same location day in and day out. This eliminates or at least reduces your morning stress.     

Conclusion

Getting into the swing of things after going back to school can be made even harder if your child’s closets are a mess. They’re always losing their clothes and things.

With a custom closet system with handy in-home accessories, you can enjoy a smoother back-to-school transition this year and every year!
