Planning a new closet or storage system? Usona Home has a great series of closet pictures with intelligent layouts that provide room for hanging storage, drawers, and even movable units. Their high-end storage systems aren't within everyone's reach, but with a little planning and some lower-priced substitutions, a similar look could be achieved...
Top: Shelves, hanging rods, and drawer units on casters create all the storage you need.
A floating drawer system is balanced by shelves above and below.
A row of wardrobes creates a series of bold vertical lines across the room.
An open, freestanding wardrobe organizes the home like a retail showcase.
A series of sliding doors hides layers of storage.

A few years ago I ripped out my closet and installed an IKEA PAX system w/ tons of drawers, pants racks, shelves for shoes and folded clothing, etc.
Best thing I ever did, I couldn't live without it!

On a related note, thought I'd share my article Seven Steps to Organizing Any Space.
Two of my tips include:
(1) Creating decision piles, which I call the "Piles System", and
(2) Using The 5-Second Rule. As you sort, it is likely that you will get sidetracked and be tempted to read all those long-lost documents or muse dreamily about that old souvenir you haven't seen since your college days. To avoid this scenario, allow yourself only 5 seconds (yes, thatâs plenty of time) to glance at the item and decide where it goes!
