This allows for only one hanger to be hung on the actual closet rod which then can double the number of hangers that can be hung, thus saving a ton of precious closet space.

Move the Dresser 

Need some drawers? Move your Dresser! Many closets can accommodate a fairly large dresser underneath the closet rod, while this may not work for everyone, oftentimes you can move your dresser into your actual closet to give yourself a few drawers, if your dresser is too big, try a cube shelf with bins instead. You can label the bins to hold a large array of different clothing items from under garments to baseball hats. 

Add a Top Shelf  

Closets are generally as tall as the ceilings in your room, however framed to have a smaller opening. If this is the case, try adding a shelf that runs along the top of your closet rod so that you can utilize all of the dead space in the very top of your closet. This is a great place to store items that aren’t used as frequently as others such as scarves, heavy coats, etc.

Store Off Season Clothing
