Small, closet-less bedrooms really make you question humanity (and architects). As though you don’t have enough problems in your tiny apartment. A lack of storage space in a place that matters the most, can be frustrating.

Luckily, with the right essentials and your own personal style, you can create a stylish and functional closet that fits perfectly in your small bedroom. I rounded up these makeshift, DIY closet essentials to help get you started.

There are a few things to consider before diving in:

• Know how much storage you actually need. Do you have more hanging or folding clothing items? Would you need two clothing racks instead of one? What does your shoe collection look like? Massive or minuscule?
• Do you have floor space for free-standing storage or do you need wall mounted shelves and racks instead?

A More Compact Option

Another option is to simply install a closet unit that’s packaged with all the storage you need. You need an actual closet to use these compact wall mounted units. It’s an everything-in-one piece! Depending on how much clothing and shoes you own, you may still need a dresser or shoe rack, but these units definately cover the basics for your closet needs. Designate a wall in your room and use that space as your closet. I found these on Amazon!
