Linen closets, pantries, and coat closets can be dark, difficult places where socks, towels, scarves and gloves seem to disappear, but hiring an electrician to put in new wiring and lights in each dark space is expensive and unrealistic. In this short video St. Louis professional organizer Susan Stewart shows how to light up a dark space in your home in a practical and financially responsible way.

The GE Enbrighten Wireless Motion-Activated LED Light is battery operated and retails for around $30. This handy light can be mounted inside a closet or pantry without the aid of an electrician. It turns on when you open the closet door or senses the motion of your hand reaching in the closet. It then turns off by itself, saving the battery life. Combined with the Elfa System, this is a great way to organize the closets in your home.
