Make Use Of A Corner Closet

Serving sets can find a home in a corner closet.


A closet built into a corner presents a plethora of space-saving storage possibilities without taking up too much space itself. Built in a triangular shape, as opposed to the normal rectangular space provided by most closets, a corner closet may present a dilemma to you when you try to decide use it. It can serve many purposes, depending on where in your household it is. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Store clothing and shoes in a corner closet located in a bedroom. If you find that the width of the closet isn't sufficient for your wardrobe, add a second rack halfway down the closet and hang your clothes on two levels instead of one. Place shoes and boots on the closet floor.


2. Place extra sheets, blankets and pillows in a corner closet located in a bedroom or guestroom. Fold the blankets and sheets in a triangular pattern so they fit neatly in the back corner of the closet and increase your storage space by using every available inch.


3. Store and display your fine china and serving dishes in a corner closet situated in a dining room. A corner closet with glass panels in the doors makes the perfect showcase for silver serving sets as well. Arrange your items in an attractive fashion so you can enjoy them even when they're not in use by placing larger items in the back and smaller ones in the front.


4. Store games and toys in a corner closet in a family room or basement. Let it become the place where the kids keep their things up and out of the floor. Push larger game boxes back so they're even with one wall and the back corner. Situate smaller games next to them to prevent them from overhanging the triangular shelf.


5. Store out-of-season clothing and shoes in a corner closet. Roll items such as pants, skirts, slacks and sweaters to create more room in the closet and store them easily without wrinkling them. The rolled clothes are easier to stack in a triangular closet than clothes folded into rectangles.
