I Put a Nightstand in My Closet, and It Was a Practical Small-Space Storage Hack Organizing

If there’s one adage I live by, it’s that there should be a place for everything, and everything should be in its place.

Most closets have a closet rod and some come with at least one shelf, which is useful enough for storing your clothes and sometimes even sheets or towels. But the standard closet is not necessarily ideal for storing small accessories and trinkets, which can quickly turn into a pile of clutter. In a recent video, content creator Taylor Joy Riley proposes a clever closet organization solution in the form of … a wine rack. Yes, really.
