Reach-in closets get a bad reputation for how ineffective they can be for storing clothing. From one-rod-and-shelf closets to sliding doors that block accessibility, they are often not very efficient.
Fortunately reach-in closets can be transformed with design solutions to maximize every inch of available space for how you want to use your closet. Are hanging clothes a preference? Do you like everything neatly folded? Elements like hanging rods, adjustable shelves, custom drawer sizes, and shoe racks, and closet accessories combine to create the perfect system for you to manage every part of your wardrobe.
Double your Hanging Space
With designated hanging space for long and short items, you can fit more in your closet in less space. Multiple hanging rods create one section for long items like dresses, with other tiered rods that stack two up for hanging shorter items like blouses, jackets and pants on fold over pants hangers.
Restore Order with Drawers
Drawers in a small closet are your secret weapon to organizing items that otherwise would turn into clutter. Drawers can store whatever you don’t want on display, things that are small and easily misplaced. A jewelry drawer can also be added. Full-extension wire baskets, which are like drawers, but you can see what is stored in them, are great for children’s closets so they can see their stuff.
Add Versatile Shelving
Adjustable shelves will hold stacks of folded clothes, shoes, purses and hats. They are efficient for keeping favorites items front and center in your closet. Multiple shelves can accommodate all the folded elements of a wardrobe and keep everything on display and quickly accessible. Since the shelves are easily adjusted, you can move them to fit what you are storing in either tall or short stacks.
Doors or No Doors
Who says a closet has to have a door? In some circumstances, removing the door for an open view may enhance accessibility, as well as create a modern, minimalist look. Other options instead of a door could be a fabric curtain on a decorative rod, a barn door that slides to cover the opening, or pocket doors that retract into the wall.
