How to Turn A Small Closet Into Storage for Dining Linens

3 Materials
I have a tiny coat closet that really wasn't serving well as a storage for coats. Truth be told, everyone in my home has space in their closets to store their coats and jackets. Therefore, I decided to turn this tiny closet into a storage area for all of my dining linens. This way they would be in one neat, organized area and easy to find.
First, I purchased a hanging closet organizer that had several shelves to store napkins and placemats. There were several ones to choose from at my local home improvement store. I spent a little extra and chose one that was very sturdy. It has loops to attach it to the closet hanging bar. I placed it to one side and left space on the other side for hanging tablecloths and runners.
Second, I purchased a nice sturdy basket with handles. This works perfect for my napkin ring collection and fits nicely on the overhead shelf.
Third, I placed all of my tablecloths and table runners on hangers and hung them next to the hanging organizer.
Lastly, along with the basket I placed on the upper shelf of my closet, I stacked my chargers. On the shelf above that I organized my candlestick holders and candles.
The picture below shows the completed project.
