She has a wide closet with accordion doors that stay open all the time, so her closet really is part of her room. Because of the doors, there is some awkward space on either side of the closet that is sort of blocked off by the doors and not very accessible.

After trying lots of drawer/shelves ideas in there, we decided to try
installing four sets of shelf brackets, and setting big plastic bins on
top of them for all her pajamas and socks and pants. I can grab a bin
and set it on her bed to sort through the whole thing, or I can just
grab whatever I need from where it is.
(I kind of thought we'd have to
attach the bins - I imagined the kids gleefully yanking the bins off the
brackets and watching the clothes go flying - but so far, they haven't
pulled them down.)
They have
worked out really well - they use space that would have otherwise been
wasted, they were super-inexpensive, and they stay relatively well
organized.
