Some spaces in our homes can feel impossible to organize—deep closets, deep shelving, and other hard-to-reach areas often become clutter traps. Without a proper system, these spaces can quickly turn into overstuffed, chaotic messes. But don’t worry! As a Professional Organizer, I have the solutions to maximize space, improve accessibility, and keep everything in order.

Why Deep Storage Spaces Can Be Challenging
Items tend to get pushed to the back and forgotten
Hard-to-reach areas lead to disorganization and wasted space
Overstuffing becomes an issue when there’s no clear system
Lack of visibility makes it hard to find what you need
Expert Tips for Organizing Deep Closets & Shelves
🔹 Use Deep Bins & Baskets – Store similar items together in labeled bins so you can easily pull them out instead of digging through clutter.
🔹 File-Fold Clothes & Linens – Instead of stacking, file-fold items vertically in baskets or drawers for better visibility and access.
🔹 Turntables & Lazy Susans – Great for deep shelves in pantries, bathrooms, or cabinets! They make everything accessible with just a spin.
🔹 Install Tiered Shelving or Risers – These help maximize vertical space and ensure that smaller items don’t disappear behind larger ones.
🔹 Keep Everyday Items Within Reach – Store frequently used items toward the front and seasonal or rarely used items toward the back.
🔹 Consider Pull-Out Drawers or Sliding Baskets – If possible, adding pull-out solutions can make deep storage areas more functional and reduce clutter.
