Inside, all the tips and tricks you need to make the most of your space — even if it's not exactly a walk-in. The bonus?

It's the Little Things That Count

Know When to Let Go
"There is nothing more frustrating than trying to get dressed and repeatedly pulling out items that you don’t fit, like, or feel great in. A great solution is to keep a bag at the bottom of your closet for items you don’t wear anymore. When the bag is full, consign your unwanted items, putting a little extra cash back into your wallet to invest in pieces you will wear." Photo courtesy of Corri McFadden
