When it comes to typical closets, they are not usually designed with a kid in mind. ?Most often consisting of a single rod about 5-6 feet high, standard closet systems are just not very user friendly for someone of about 3 feet tall. ?In addition, because the amount of space needed for a child’s hanging clothes is usually pretty small, there is often a ?large amount of space below what is often wasted or cluttered with piles of shoes and miscellaneous items.
In order to maximize the amount of usable space and provide easier access for your child, investing in a custom closet organizer that is adjustable and can grow with your child is the best route to go.

CUBBIES AND STORAGE BINS
Cubbies and see-through or labeled storage bins are also great for kids closet systems because they allow them to easily find items without making a mess and put items away. ?Make sure to store the items that our most often used lower in the closet for easier access also.
KEEP HANGING TO A MINIMUM
