Portable Closet Guide

Portable closets offer a variety of uses from supplementing a spare bedroom for a guest to giving you and your significant other an extra closet without having to remodel the house. Let’s take a look at common uses and reasons for buying a portable closet for the home.

You’ve run out of room in your pre-existing closets already. This is likely the primary reason most people start looking into getting a portable closet. If you’ve already gone through and tried to organize your closet, and you find there’s still a distinct lack of space for your items, then getting a portable closet is a great add-on for your wardrobe. It can be placed in a your bedroom or a spare room, and hold your items securely and make them easily accessible – like those pink boots you bought last year but haven’t seen since they got lost in the battle for space in your current closet!

The office has turned into a spare bedroom but it’s not got a closet. Many homes are built with an office room, which could easily be a bedroom but there is one distinct part missing – a closet. Adding a portable closet to the room solves this problem. (We will not be adding any portable bathrooms though!)

Giving the guest room a usable closet for guests. Often, the closets in any guest rooms have a way of filling themselves up, seemingly on their own accord, with the owners own clothes and other random items that gravitate towards closet space. Instead of trying to find room for this stuff, it’s easier – and elegant looking – to place a nice portable closet in the room. This way, guests can unpack and hang their clothes, shoes, and other items in the portable closet without ever messing with or needing to see the real closet in the spare bedroom.

The laundry room needs a little organizational assistance. Certain portable closets work great as an item to use in the laundry room. For instance, when taking clothes out of the dryer, where do you hang them? If the closet is far away, it can be easier to simply add an ultra-mobile closet to the laundry room, immediately fold or hang the clothes out of the dryer, and then wheel or move the portable closet to another part of the house.

There are surely other reasons people use a portable closet. What are yours? Feel free to add a comment below and share your suggestions and experience!

One point that anyone who owns a nice portable closet will agree on is that once you have one, you never regret having the extra space to organize, store, and protect your clothing!
