You can cram more stuff in a well-organized closet, says Julie Morgenstern, author of Organizing from the Inside Out. And it doesn't have to cost a fortune:

Empty your closet; toss or donate anything you don't use.
Put clothes back first. Hang short garments on one side, long on the other. This gives you room for a dresser (stacksandstacks.com; $22.99) or possibly a shoe rack (lillianvernon.com; $14.98).
For more hanging space, hook on an extra rod (Closet Rod Doubler, containerstore.com; $9.99).
Dividers keep sweaters and Tshirts straight on shelves ($9.98 for 4; lillianvernon.com). Need more shelf space? Try Under-Shelf Baskets ($12.98 for 2; lillianvernon.com).<
Hang a tie organizer on the door (Bed Bath & Beyond; $14.99) for belts, ties, scarves and purses. For pajamas, try Command Hooks from 3M, $3.99.
