My bedroom closet is the size of a phone booth and for years I just accepted that meant I couldn't own more than one season of clothes at a time.
Turns out most of that problem was solvable with storage that actually uses the space I already had instead of buying a bigger place.

Extra Storage for Odds and Ends
Under-Bed and Bedroom Storage
Low enough to slide under most beds, and the clear lid plus label holder means you can find the winter sweaters without pulling everything out.
Two metal zippers keep the dust out, and reviewers say one even holds a comforter. One reviewer fit four of them under a twin bed.
StorageWorks 6in Low Profile Under Bed Storage
A bench at the foot of the bed that hides about 24 gallons of blankets, pillows or shoes.
It folds flat when you're not using it, unfolds in about a minute with no tools, and is rated for up to 660 lbs.
SONGMICS 30 Inch Folding Storage Ottoman Bench
Heavy duty zippered bags for off-season clothes, bedding and anything else you want out of sight.
Each one holds about 24 gallons and they're clear, so you can see what's inside. They're 13.5 inches tall, so they're for shelves, not for under the bed.
Ukeetap XL Clothes Storage Bins with Lids (8-Pack)
Lifts the bed up so the bins that never fit finally slide underneath.
You can pick 3, 5 or 8 inches and combine them, which is a cheap fix with a big payoff. Reviewers say they look decent too, even with a white bed.
Home It Adjustable Bed Risers 3,5,8 Inch 4-Pack
Closet Space Savers
Only about a quarter inch thick, so you fit way more clothes on the same rod.
The velvet keeps clothes from sliding off, and each hanger holds up to about 11 lbs. Reviewers are split on how long they last.
HOUSE DAY Velvet Non-Slip Hangers (60-Pack, Black)
Clip one hanger onto another and hang clothes vertically instead of side by side.
Reviewers say the hooks are strong enough for jackets and heavy pants. About ten bucks for 60 of them.
HOUSE DAY Space Saving Hanger Hooks (60-Pack)
Stops the folded sweater stack from toppling over when you pull one from the bottom.
They clip onto the shelf in seconds with no tools. Reviewers say they work great in linen closets, though a few said they didn't stop things from falling.
BAUMFEUER Clear Acrylic Shelf Dividers (12-Pack)
Uses the back of the closet door for shoes so they're not piled on the floor.
Each clear pocket is about 4.3 x 9.5 inches, and it just hangs over the door. It has over 130,000 reviews, so this one is a safe bet.
Simple Houseware 24-Pocket Clear Shoe Organizer
Drawer and Shelf Fixes
Bamboo dividers that expand from about 16.6 to 21.8 inches to fit most drawers, so the dresser looks like it has built-in sections.
Reviewers say they're easy to install. A few said they slide around.
VaeFae Adjustable Bamboo Drawer Dividers (6-Pack)
Fabric bins in several sizes for socks, underwear, bras and scarves.
It sounds too small to matter, but a drawer with actual sections is a different experience than a pile. Reviewers say they're easy to set up and good for the price.
DIMJ Fabric Drawer Organizer Set (12-Pack)
Open-front bins for the shelf above your hanging clothes that usually turns into a junk pile.
Matching bins make it look intentional, and the canvas handles make them easy to pull out. Reviewers say they fit small spaces well.
