You can get rolling bins that will roll under your bed and out of site. If you have space in your closet, add more shelves. Also, you can get shoe organizers for your closet and that might free up some floor space. Baskets are nice for storing things. You have easy access but they look neat.

Vertical wall shelves are a great way to store bins and baskets because they free up valuable floor space.
Containers: Labeling is essential when reorganizing a room. Without labels you may not be able to keep the room organized. Also, label the container, not the shelf where items are stored. That way if the container moves, the items are still put in the correct container.
Peg boards and memo boards provide a contained space for notes, photos and calendars. No more looking for that invitation or phone number--it's mounted on the board.
Closets are always an overwhelming job. It is such a small room in the house, but it is generally the messiest! I recommend taking a deep breath and going in with a clear mind and goal to reclaim the space. Assess the clothes you truly wear, and be brutal.
"Goal clothes" are a big no! First and foremost, they are depressing to look at, and secondly, by the time you are able fit into them again, they may be out of style.
The easiest way to fix a small closet is to look at the hanging space situation. Most closets have one bar straight across. Group all of the long hanging clothes (coats, dresses) on one side and the short hanging clothes (folded pants, shirts) on the other. Now you have open space underneath the short clothes that could be used as a drawer unit, a shoe stand, a laundry hamper, etc. The possibilities are endless!
If you have a walk-in closet, approach it like an assembly line. The items you start dressing with should be the first items on the left. Work your way to the right, setting up what comes next. By the end of the closet you should have your accessories--and a fabulous outfit!
No more wire hangers! Joan Crawford had it right! As soon as you get your clothes from the dry cleaners, remove that destructive metal. Most dry cleaners will take back their hangers to reuse them.
Unfortunately big movie studios aren't making films of your summer vacation. If you are still cluttered with VHS tapes of home videos it is possible to convert them into DVD. There are computer programs that can help you with this, or you can hire someone to do it for you.
Lastly, remember that if organizing is too overwhelming for you, there are professionals that are always happy to help.

The use of shelving and containers to hold items will make it appear more organized. Get stuff up off the floor and hidden from view.

You can transform a bedroom closet design quickly, easily, and inexpensively by installing a modular closet system. There are two main types of do-it-yourself systems; those made of ventilation coated-wire components, and those made of solid particleboard components with a high pressure-plastic laminate.
