Closets are one of the most common places where clutter and disorganization reign. Laundry piles up, bulky sweaters topple over, and cheapo hangers let your clothes slip right off.
Our advice? Don’t settle for the original version of your closet. But don’t stress over making a massive renovation, either — even a few small, considered upgrades can make a big difference.
After our latest round of hanging, folding, and stacking, we have some new recommendations for restoring order to your closet (and actually keeping it that way!) — including some cute and colorful steel wall hooks, the best hanging organizer, and the sturdiest shelf dividers we’ve found.

These hangers are strong enough to hold heavy coats, but they also have shoulder notches to accommodate slinky pieces with delicate straps.

Your daily deal: Our favorite under-desk treadmill |

 | This is the very best under-desk treadmill: Setup is a breeze, it offers a smooth ride, and the collapsible handlebars and front wheels make it easy to move this treadmill around an office. Our testers found that the deck was sturdy enough to walk on while they tapped away at their desks. We found it for nearly $100 off today.

These refreshingly simple compression bags don’t require any fancy technology, or even a pump to seal. Simply stuff them, and squeeze the air out. Voila: a densely packed, Café Bustelo–like brick of clothes.
