You can maximize your closet storage space by installing a closet organizational system.  The best systems take into account the size of your closet and the type of things you will be storing.  The coat closet organizer pictured here is from the Martha Stewart Living website.  It uses the space beneath hanging coats for shelving that keeps shoes neatly sorted.  Individual bins hold scarves and hats for each family member and a bucket is used for umbrellas.  Even the closet door plays a part with hooks for purses and tote bags.

Martha Stewart has a variety of online tools to help you design your perfect closet storage system.  Design your dream closet organizational system at MarthaStewartClosets.com.
