Make your cramped closet more efficient by creating a wall unit.
Space. The final frontier. How is it that the universe can be so big while your closet storage space is so small? Take a quantum leap into the future of home building by creating storage space inside your closet that has a place for everything and will keep everything in its place. Keep in mind that much of the space in your closet goes to waste when you only use it for storing things on hangers. Does this Spark an idea?
Back Wall Shelving
Many people just do not take advantage of the back wall of a closet. If you've got a walk-in closet with clothing rails on either side, what do you with all that space the middle? Instead of wasting it by placing suitcases and junk, build shelving for all your shoes, handbags, sports outfits or any other clothing that won't get wrinkled by being folded. You can build cubbyholes from the floor to ceiling along the back wall of the closet and in the process you may find out you actually have more storage space than stuff.
Move Your Dresser
A walk-in closet that provides great depth can become a safe harbor for a dresser that has gotten too old for display. Build your closet unit with the dresser in mind as the centerpiece and you accomplish two things. Getting the dresser out the bedroom frees up more floor space for decorating and the dresser allows you to match up colors and fabrics without having to make the trip between closet and dresser. Install a floor-length mirror just outside the closet and you're good to go.
Closet With Short Depth
A wall closet that has only enough depth for hanging clothes can still be utilized for ultimate effect. Take out the railings and install shelving cubbies on one side and drawers on the other. Much of the clothing that people fold over hangers can be folded up and not be any the worse for wear. Kids who don't care whether they wear wrinkled clothing or not can especially benefit from doing away with the rail-and-hanger concept and moving over to a more efficient cubbyhole and drawer unit.
Expanding Lattice Pegboard Organizer
Don't underestimate the utility of an expanding lattice pegboard organizer that can be attached to the back wall. If you are the type of person for whom accessories is the most important part of attire, a lattice frame with pegs allowing instant access to everything from hats to ties can make putting on that final touch easier than ever.
