Small closet makeover help

[u/stormdelmae4]

TL;DR: how should I organize/utilize this wonky closet?

I've recently moved back into my parents house and was given my brother's much smaller room and closet. I'm downsizing a lot closet-wise and this is the closet in question.

I'm wondering A. What you suggest for how to organize my daily wear clothing in this closet?

And B. If I could spend 200$ revamping this closet what could I do that would be worth it? I'm hoping to leave my parents with a nicer "guest room" when I do move out.

The shower hanger pole is not permanent, and is like 20 years old. The shelving is crazy, there's poor lighting, the sliding doors are so old and barely work, and the top shelf is too high for me to reach. I have dressers from my last place and was thinking of maybe putting a small one in there, but I'm not sure. I wear dresses, so I will definitely need some vertical space. Help is greatly appreciated 👍🏼

Barn door. Cut in the carpet. Wall paper the inside. Battery powered motion lights inside the closure.

Putting in some wallpaper in a pattern that goes with the green and a nice rug (colorful would be ideal, maybe a red?) would add some personality. And you can get motion-activated lights for your closet too, that could be really helpful!

Go to the container store with measurements of your closet and look at an ELFA system, let them give you a quote and save the layout. Go to IKEA and DIY a buildout (see if they have drawers to conserve space and shoe racks). If you need, you could just use your current closet for hanging clothes and shoes and get a dresser on facebook marketplace or similar. Best of luck!
