Smart Solutions to Navigate Limited Custom Closet Spaces

If there’s one issue I’ve seen crop up time and again in my years of renovating homes, it’s that homeowners are constantly struggling with limited space in their custom closets. No matter the size of the closet in question, there never seems to be enough room to work with. But luckily, there are ways around this.

From putting in sliding rack systems to adding additional hanging rods, making use of your wall space, and more, I’ve got the tips you need to navigate even the most limited of closet spaces.

Here are some smart solutions to make the most out of any closet:

• Put in sliding rack systems
• Add additional hanging rods
• Make use of your wall space
• Put in a door organizer

Now that you’ve got the basics, it’s time to dive in and get all of the details.

Put in Sliding Rack Systems

One of the easiest ways I’ve seen of making the most of a limited closet space is by adding in sliding rack systems. Simply slide out your hampers and baskets when you need them, then slide them back into place when you’re done.

Not only does this give you more space, but it also keeps your closet as open as possible, allowing you to mix and match and find solutions that work best for you and your family.

Add Additional Hanging Rods

If you’re pressed for space, one of the best ways I’ve seen of fixing the problem is to put in a few more hanging rods. This shouldn’t cost you much at all, and you’ll instantly have extra room for hanging clothes in your custom closet.

Whether you need more room for jackets, pants, pullovers, or just about anything else, additional hanging rods will give you the space you need and allow you to declutter other areas of your closet in the process.

Make Use of Your Wall Space

You really can’t go wrong with some well-placed wall storage solutions. Wall-mounted hooks are great for those all-purpose solutions, and I’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of wall-mounted shelving units as well.

Not only does this free up space for you elsewhere, but it also gives you a wonderful way of showing off your items. Maybe you want to display some of your jewelry collection or use an accessory as a signature piece. Whatever the case, wall-mounted options do the trick.

Put in a Door Organizer

When all else fails, you can do what the professionals at Better Homes & Gardens suggest and use the back of your closet door. With the simple addition of a door organizer, you can instantly give yourself several shelves’ worth of storage space.

Conclusion

No matter the size or shape of custom closets, I’ve seen time and time again that homeowners will always struggle to get the most space out of their closets as possible. But with these smart solutions and simple tricks, you should be able to make the most out of any closet–no matter how small.
