Inside SNL Star Chloe Fineman’s Unorthodox Closet Room That Cleverly Maximizes Every Inch of Her Small Apartment
Chloe's West Village apartment is compact, but smart storage solutions (featuring several drawers) show us how you can keep these spaces tidy
Closet organizing can be a beast, particularly if said closet is small to begin with. Luckily, we have some new ideas: Chloe Fineman has revealed her compact-but-mighty space, created in partnership with California Closets.
As seen on their Instagram page, the SNL star keeps her clothes tidy with a sleek wardrobe, which contains vertical space to hang clothes, as well as slim drawers for smaller items. Needless to say, it's giving us some closet organization ideas.
'The comedian’s West Village apartment was in desperate need of a storage solution for her ample wardrobe, leading [California Closets New York] to create a “closet room” where there was none, seamlessly and stylishly integrating into her chic living room,' the company states in the caption.

The space serves as a reminder that smart organization goes a long way; as such, seasonal swap-outs are great for preserving space, while ensuring you make the most of your small closet space, even if it is limited.
'Clothes, shoes, and household items can get lost within larger wardrobe spaces, making it difficult to find what you need, slowing down your daily routine.' Paul Richardson, stylist at Wren, explains.
'As seasons change, different items become a priority, and so it’s important to refresh your storage spaces in line with the weather changes.'
Hangers, like the ones Chloe has in her closet, are fantastic accessories for keeping your items visible as well as organized.

'Maximize closet space by using slimline hangers for everyday clothing,' Paul suggests. 'Reserve bulkier wooden hangers for heavy coats or suits. This simple swap can open up more space and give your wardrobe a sleek, organised look.'
These velvet hangers from Amazon are a great pick, and they also happen to be under $25. We also love these cabinet lights for visibility in drawers, while this hanging organizer is a wonderful vertical storage addition.
Organizing your closet doesn’t have to feel overwhelming – even in a small space. Chloe's setup proves that with smart solutions, sleek design, and a few clever accessories, any wardrobe can feel spacious, functional, and stylish. From seasonal swap-outs to slimline hangers and vertical storage, a little planning goes a long way in keeping your clothes – and your daily routine – stress-free.
Take a page from Chloe’s closet playbook: tidy, thoughtful organization is the ultimate style statement.
