Belt & Tie Organization
Before you start organizing your belts and ties, I highly suggest editing your collection. You don’t want to purchase a bunch of organizing solutions to contain belts and ties you’re not going to wear. Here is how to properly organize what you do wear.
Organizing Solutions You Can Install
Depending on the type of closet you have, there are belt and tie racks available that can easily be installed.
If you have a closet system with adjustable shelves, you can install this style rack within the peg holes (found here):
This belt and tie organize rack can be installed on the bottom of a closet shelf made of wire shelving (found here). Bonus: it also pulls out making it easy to see and select each tie or belt:
For the tie collector, this is the perfect gift. It can be installed in almost any closet as it attaches to the closet rod (found here). Bonus: it is motorized (like Cher’s closet from Clueless!):
If you have a closet with vertical poles, you can install individual hooks like these, especially if you just have a only one or a few belts (found here):
For the rest of your closets, you can install this organizer directly on the wall (found here). Bonus: it drops down to conserve space:
Belt & Tie Closet Hangers
In any closet, you can utilize hangers designed for belts and ties that simply hang on your closet rod.
You can designate one side of this hanger for belts and the other side for ties (found here):
If you just have one or two belts or ties, you can use a simple hanger like this (found here) (s-hooks also work) which is also available with four hooks:
Wall & Door Hook Racks
A simple wall rack like this can be stored inside or outside of your closet. You simply hang one tie on each hook and one belt on each one or two hooks depending on wide each buckle is (found here):
A door rack like this can be installed on the back of your closet or bedroom door and can be a great accessories station (found here):
Bonus tip: for any of the organizing solutions above where you hang your ties, you can not only use these tie clips as an accessory, but they can also be used to help keep slippery ties in place (found here):
Drawer & Shelf Organizers
To properly organize belts and ties in drawers, you definitely want to go with organizers made of sturdier materials. Belts can warp fabric drawer organizers as they uncoil making them unruly in your drawers. And, ties can flop and become easily wrinkled in fabric organizers. So, sturdier drawer organizers are ideal. And, because they are sturdy, they can also easily be stored on shelves.
A simple solution can be to add drawer dividers to your dresser drawers. You will simply roll belts and ties of the same width to be contained within each section (found here):
Belts and ties can be coiled, one each, in a divided organizer like this allowing you to easily see and access each belt or tie (found here):
A smaller divided organizer like this can be utilized to store belts in one section, ties in another, and tie clips in the other (found here):
Belts and ties can be coiled and stored in alternating directions next to each other in an organizer like this to maximize space (found here):
For the minimalist who has just one or two belts or ties, individual organizers like these can be all that you need (found here):
You can utilize drawer organizers with adjustable dividers, like these ones below have, so you can customize storage for your belts and ties of varying sizes (found here):
