Male Closets

In a home, the garage, man cave, home office, and master bedroom closet are the places that identify and define a man with their personal belongings. Designing a space to keep all of a male’s belongings organized and easy to find is essential to be prepared in the morning to get dressed for the day with confidence. Set yourself up for success by having a system in place with all of your must-have things.

Due to a difference in attire, organizing a man’s closet requires a different approach than arranging one for a woman. An example is that men need a space for ties. Knowing that men have unique needs, here are closet organization ideas to organize a businessman’s space.

Organization tips

Here are some organization tips for business entrepreneurs to help get you started with setting up a master closet with form and function:

1. Get rid of clutter

Go through your clothes and discard or donate the items that no longer fit or find a tailor to resize items for you to wear. Throw out worn items or items with holes in them. If something has gone out of style, consider letting it go. By releasing the clutter, you will have more room to see the clothes that do work for you quicker.

2. Customize your space

A consultation with a professional closet organizer will help tremendously in setting up a well-organized space. Set up a meeting and discuss your customized needs and develop a plan to implement.

Discuss the layout of your closet and think about how you can add in a mixture of drawers, shelves, drawers, racks, and baskets.

Here are a few storage elements you can implement:

• Short and full-length hanging space
• Open shelving up top for large items, like hats, etc.
• Built-in drawers
• Shelves for folded clothes, sweaters, etc.
• Baskets for hiding clutter, such as baseball caps, etc.
• Small-storage area or compartments for cuff links, etc.
• Built-in shoe storage that’s customizable for size and seasons

3. Clothing investment

As a businessman, you have invested in custom suits, Italian leather shoes, etc. You want to take care of your investment by organizing it and showcasing your clothing. Make it easier to see each morning when selecting your day’s attire. Feel like a million bucks!

4. Closet experience

Design and build your closet for an experience. Have seating put in so you can sit and put your shoes on comfortably. Installing a full-length mirror in your space allows you to see the confident man before you present yourself to the world. Consider installing a TV so you can watch the morning news or stock exchange while getting dressed. Install a speaker system to listen to soothing music while you are getting ready. All of these items will make the experience more enjoyable and give you a happy start to the day. Build in some extra lighting in the ceiling.

5. Storage Items

Men collect watches, cuff links, pocket squares, ties, bow ties, glasses, belts, and other items they wear to give them a unique personality. Find a place for a dresser space, dresser valet or built-in shelves or drawers to organize these items. They are the finishing touches necessary for a successful businessman. Highlight them and make these items easy to find and put on.

6. Clothes hangers

To make a gentleman’s master closet look aesthetically pleasing and to take it to the next level, use one unified type of hanger throughout the closet. The hangers can be made out of wood, plastic, wire, metal, velvet, etc. There are hangers made for every use – trousers, suit, shirt, belt, tie, etc. Make sure the hangers are all going in the same direction. It is this extra attention to detail that makes your closet feel special and organized.

A successful businessman has a strong sense of self-confidence. An organized closet can give you a confident start to your day!
