Fashion a no-build closet out of a curtain rod and a bookshelf
Megan's brilliant space-saving clothing storage hack, which I may put to use in my daughter's room:
My bedroom serves as the nursery and is also quite low on dresser space. I use a bookshelf with one of the shelves removed and a tension bar installed to hang up my little guy's clothes. As he grows, I can just remove another shelf or two to handle his bigger clothes. I use the remaining shelves for necessities like extra wipes, receiving blankets, books, and toys.
Great for organizing the dress-up clothes and for dolly outfits as well.
(or any Amazon link at Parent Hacks), you throw some change into our tip jar without any extra steps or cost to you. Thank you!
How cute! I am going to use this idea for making a little dress-up corner for my daycare tots. The "fancy" shoes and hats can sit on the shelves, and I will hang a mirror on the wall nearby so they can admire themselves!

Hi,
It sounds so good about organising. I feel my sons toys and his clothes are out to get me. I never am able to manage it. The room looks ransacked everytime I enter it. Can anyone help me organise my 3 year olds room.

I love this idea! The closet in my daughters room is small and awkward and I've been trying to figure out a way to add more space to hang clothes. Thanks!

LOVE the added idea to use for doll clothes. our little one has acquired an American Girl doll with a bunch of "stuff" to go with it. This will be a great help so she can see what she has, without the stuff being all over the floor, or crammed in a bin. Thanks!!! MKZ

I had a similar idea. I used two bungee cords to hang a $2 dowel rod from the existing closet rod, in turn doubling the amount of hanging space in her closet and it's a lot cheaper than most of the closet organizers you can buy. Also great because as she grew I just attached longer cords to accomodate her longer dresses.
