Stop Stuffing Handbags Into Your Closet & Try A Space-Saving Storage Idea Instead

Looking for tips and tricks to maximize storage space in your small home? Tactics like going vertical and making use of every nook and cranny are crucial. Even if you've got an enormous walk-in closet with a custom modular arrangement and a spot for everything, you'll like this trick. Save shelf space and keep your beloved accessories in prime condition by storing handbags in an over-the-door hanging system.

Whether it's on the closet door or dangling from the hanging rod itself, keeping those bags in a vertical holder will free up storage space in your closet, help you find them more easily, and even protect your investments from damage. Multi-hook rigs, capacious box-like pockets, or even setups with protective compartments will be welcome players in your organization game. Ones that can hang either on door hooks or from hanging rods will give you the most bang for your buck. And there are no rules for how you use these solutions. Fill a few hooks with purses and use others for scarves. Load up pockets or compartments with a few bags, or even socks and belts.

You have options upon options when it comes to potential over-door purse storage. If your tastes run more budget utilitarian, a multi-hook unit might meet your needs. Something like the AORAKI Purse Hanger Organizer could do the trick for under $10. With six hooks and the ability to hang from a closet rod, this low-profile concept will work well for items ranging from totes to flip flops to baseball caps.

However, simple hooks don't do much to corral long straps. For large purses with lots of flaps and straps, and for handbags worth a mint, something sturdier is worth the extra expense. The Simple Houseware Window Pocket Organizer is made up of six reinforced compartments. They keep their shape even when empty, and the plastic windows allow you to ID what's inside at a glance.

A real must-have for handbags that you want to protect from dust, dirt, and damage is the MISSLO 6 Clear Pocket Over Door Organizer. Slide purses into side-access pockets made from clear, flexible plastic. Its six compartments range from pocketbook size up to overnight bag size. The plastic pocket not only makes it trouble-free to find what you're looking for, but it also provides a wipe-off protective barrier for the contents.
