12 Best Closet Systems of 2024

For the storage possibilities and price, the ClosetMaid Modular Storage Closet System is our top pick every time. Built from manufactured wood and embellished with decorative trim, molding and full back panels, this unit is both unbelievably sturdy and stunning. It's also equipped with two clothing rods, four drawers, multiple shelves and even shoe storage. (Did we mention that you get all of that for just $700?) And since the system is modular, you can combine it with other ClosetMaid products to customize your reach-in or walk-in. It's available in two finishes as well.

If you're trying to get some serious bang for your buck, look no further than the Rubbermaid Configurations Deluxe Closet Kit. This entire wire-crafted unit costs less than $170 but boasts an expansive top shelf, three rods, a middle shelf and five cubbies for all your clothes and accessories. It's suitable for four- to eight-foot spaces, too, so it can work in either a reach-in or a walk-in closet, and you can add other compartments in the future.

If you're customizing a closet for the first time, you simply can't go wrong with the ClosetMaid SuiteSymphony Starter Kit. This bestselling unit is made from manufactured wood, is a breeze to install and comes with three adjustable rods for your hanging clothes and five shelves for accessories. But here's the best part: The organizer works for five to 10-foot spaces and can be upgraded with add-ons like drawers and doors, so it easily adapts as your needs change.

Prepare to fall in love with your reach-in, courtesy of the Dotted Line Mel Closet System. This organizer is made from manufactured wood and will totally transform your space with its four clothing rods, four shelves and four cubbies. (All of which are completely adjustable.) You can shop the system in three finishes and enjoy an included wall anchor kit as well.

For generous walk-in closets, we're huge fans of the Dotted Line Grid Walk-In Closet System. First of all, this unit is an amazing value at just $207. Second of all, it gives you four adjustable clothing rods, three shelves and the ability to add other compartments down the line for a totally custom design. You can shop the manufactured wood system in four finishes, too, and install it in an afternoon with the right tools.

If you want to add storage and style to your closet without drilling holes in the walls, then you need a freestanding system. More specifically? You need the Rebrilliant Naeemah Closet System Starter Kit. This beautiful piece is crafted from steel and offers two shelves, eight cubbies and two clothing rods (in other words, a ton of storage options with zero installation). The unit is also available in three finishes and comes with a 10-year warranty from the manufacturer.

Renters swear by the Amazon Basics Expandable Closet System and for good reason. This freestanding unit is crafted from sturdy alloy steel, lies flush with the wall and it's completely customizable. So the system works in everything from a studio to a standard apartment. (You can even put it to work in your first house since it's not mounted in place.) You can shop the system in three finishes and enjoy a large top shelf, two clothing rods and eight cubbies.

For narrow entryway or hallway closets, we highly recommend the Elfa Decor Entry Closet System. This piece has a smaller footprint than most, making it an ideal solution for tight spaces. Simply mount the horizontal top rack to the wall and immediately enjoy a shelf for hats and scarves, a clothing rod for jackets and coats, and a gliding rack for shoes and boots. And since the unit is made from epoxy-bonded steel, you can trust that it won't collapse under pressure.

Now this is what we call the ultimate kids' closet system. With ventilated top shelves, a clothing rod, four wide drawers and a door rack with mesh baskets, the Elfa Kids' Closet System packs maximum functionality into a notoriously tight space. Plus, each component is completely adjustable so you can reconfigure the system as their needs change (say, from stuffed animal storage to school supply containers). And although this system is definitely more of an investment, the epoxy-bonded steel construction ensures that it will last until they're off to college.

An organized nursery is crucial for surviving the newborn stage, and nothing will help you get the job done like the Little Seeds Poppy Closet System. This clever, color-reversible kit is made from manufactured wood and gives you five telescoping rods, five shelves and one drawer for all of your baby's clothes. Plus, adjustable shelving and included dividers allow you to create different configurations as your child grows. A wall anchor kit is also included to prevent tipping.

Every inch of space counts in a closet. Take advantage of those all-too-often overlooked back corners with the Dotted Line Grid Corner Closet System. The manufactured-wood tower tucks right against the wall and uses smart, V-shaped shelves to give you extra storage for clothes. You can shop the system in four finishes, too, to ensure that it complements your current unit.

If we learned anything from fashion icon Carrie Bradshaw, it's that you can never have too many shoes. You just need a better way to organize them. Enter the Closet & CO Closet System. This multi-piece kit is made from manufactured wood and essentially gives you one large module for hanging clothes and another just for your shoes. And because the seven shelves are adjustable, you can display your collection any way you wish. (Just be sure to put the Manolo Blahniks front and center.)
