Freestanding Closet Design Ideas

Freestanding Closet Design Ideas


Create your dream closet using freestanding organizers such as boxes and bins. Clear plastic containers can be used to store rolled belts, scarves and other accessories. They are also an affordable alternative to built-ins and are great stackers. With the ability to see what's inside, clear containers save you time in the morning when getting ready for work. Does this Spark an idea?


Shoe Organizer


Every closet needs a shoe organizer to help keep pairs together while keeping the room neat and clean. To create a freestanding shoe organizer, use clear containers for each set of shoes. Matching boxes filled with each set keeps the space looking organized and helps reduce the amount of dust on each set of shoes. Stack the shoes on top of each other on one side of the closet for easy access. For those who love details, take a small label and write on the outside of the box the type of shoe inside. This will help you keep the sets together, especially if you are a shoe horse and have many pairs.


Canvas Shelves


Add storage space to the closet using freestanding shelves. Typically made of canvas, storage shelves can be used anywhere in the closet to replace built-in shelves. Shelves are also the ideal addition to the closet for stacking sweaters, shirts and pieces that require folding. To extend clothing life, use pieces that typically stretch on the hanger for the canvas shelves. Depending upon the height of the closet, install the shelves as high and wide as needed for all of your clothing needs. With built-in drawers, you can neatly tuck in pantyhose and other items that require special care.


Garment Rack


Freestanding garment racks are maneuverable and don't take up a lot of space in the closet. With the ability to fold up and store, they are ideal to use in small apartments, where space is limited. Install a dual garment rack with two separate levels, one for longer pieces such as jackets and dresses and the other for shorter clothing like shirts and folded pants. Add hooks to the garment rack to keep large bags and purses from losing shape.
