Are your closets filled to the brim and you’re searching for additional space? Maybe you’ve spent a lot of time and energy cleaning out your closets and you want to keep the space organized or maybe you have seen the magazine layouts of well organized closets and want one yourself. Whatever the reason you have for thinking about closet shelves you will find this easy project increases your useable storage space quickly.
The goal of storage closet shelving is to maximize your storage space without having to reconfigure or remodel your home. Paying for a storage unit or building a shed can be an expensive long term project and in contrast, installing or creating storage shelves in your existing closets is an easier and much cheaper project. Many companies sell closet organizing products in several different materials. If you want to start simple and cheaply, you may want to start with plastic or wire storage products and upgrade to wood or better plastics after you have determined exactly which products you need to organize your closet shelves.
Start your storage building project by de-cluttering your closets and getting rid of anything that you truly do not need. Stop hanging onto items that you have no emotional or monetary connection to. If you are holding onto things that do not have sentimental memories, are not legally required, or are not worth a lot of money, consider getting rid of it. Cleaning out the closets will help you to discover exactly how much storage space you truly have available, you may actually discover a lot more storage space than you originally thought.
Now that your closets are clean, you need to evaluate their current configuration. In the past, home builders never gave the closets much thought. Do your bedroom clothes closets have a single bar running the entire length of the closet? Chances are you do, this was the standard closet configuration but really is not well suited for storage. Then think about your clothes and what you want to store in the space. Do you have pants and shirts that only take up half the space between the rod and the floor? If so, you can install a double hanging bar and increase your storage space immediately.
When trying to find space in your closet for additional storage possibilities, look up. Do you use all the space from the shelf to the ceiling? Could you use the space better? Install pull out drawers or use storage boxes from the top shelf to the ceiling and you will double the amount of storage available in your closet.
Once you have created a storage configuration that fits your closet and fits your life, you may decide to upgrade the components and boxes you are using and install a wooden closet organizer. Before purchasing a pre-made wooden closet organizer, you should determine if all the items you are currently using in your organized storage closet are included in the wooden closet organizer. You may need to have a custom made organizer built in order to fit your closet space or incorporate all the storage ideas you have designed for your closet, but the cost can be worth it. Wooden closet organizers can increase the value of your home and bring your closets into the 21st century.
