Better Closets, Better Offers

Closet space may not be the first thing on a potential home buyer's wishlist, but a lack of it can be a real door closer. Even if your home doesn't have the biggest closets, clever organization can tip the scale for better offers. Try these suggestions.

• Put out-of-season clothing in storage and arrange the rest by color on quality hangers.
• To create space, avoid storing shoes and other items on the closet floor.
• Store linens and cleaning supplies out-of-sight in a cabinet.
• Ensure your closet is well-lit, and retouch paint on any scuffed walls.
• Stage a walk-in closet by displaying attractive shoes and other accessories on shelving.
• Tuck a subtly scented, unlit candle into a corner for ambience.
