Learn how to build easy and inexpensive custom closet shelves to suit your needs and make the most of your storage space.
Budget-friendly, simple-to-install wire racks are perfect for lining the walls from top to bottom. Store everyday items, like shoes or towels on the bottom, and items that are not used as often, like out-of-season clothing or large appliances on the top shelves. Clothing rods, wall hooks and baskets that slide easily onto shelves are also useful for keeping items off the closet floor. Use floor space to organize a shoe rack or store a vacuum cleaner.

If you feel like your small closet is useless for storing items, then consider turning it into an extension of the room in which it is located. For example, many people have removed the doors from their bedroom closets and turned it into an office nook by adding a desk, chair and small floor lamp. Not only does this option provide you with a "room" you never thought you had but it adds dimension to the space, helping it to appear bigger.
