Corner shelving units can help make the most of the space. Also, I love my valet rods/hooks for temporarily holding drycleaning, packing planning or tomorrow's outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-project-underway#post-1088046 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 15:55:29 +0000 E 1088046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Hope you take pictures when you're done. I have no advice: both of my closets are reach-in. But I'm pretty sure I have the same shelves from Ikea as my book case (mine's 5 x 5 squares), and I really love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-project-underway#post-1088011 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 15:23:06 +0000 shemarie 1088011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing Suz! I don't have anything to add, but your plans sound very well thought out and&nbsp;your closet sounds&nbsp;wonderful.&nbsp;&nbsp; I hope you'll post some photos too....I'm always so overwhelmed wandering through all of the options at IKEA. Hoping others who've redone closets will chime in too.&nbsp; I moved recently and now have a very large closet with only standard rods/shelving built in, so I'm hoping for some inspiration to one day do the same! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-project-underway#post-1087998 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 15:06:54 +0000 Suz 1087998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no ideas but this sounds amazing! Can't wait to see the finished result.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-project-underway#post-1087995 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 15:01:26 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1087995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of the last items on the to do list for the new house was my walk in closet.&nbsp; When designing the house, we had expanded the space as much as we could without adding more piles to the structure and I had to decide between using space in the ensuite or the WIC.&nbsp; The ensuite won out as we wanted to put in a 6' jetted drop-in tub.&nbsp; The result was a closet that is 5' x 7' with a door in the middle of one short end that opened into the closet blocking half of one wall.&nbsp; It looked okay on paper but then got a few inches smaller during construction (walls are approximate on plans).&nbsp; </p> <p>The size wasn't helped by the typical builder shelving which is minimal.&nbsp; Yesterday, we put together the expedit from Ikea and installed it against the ceiling on one of the 5' walls (horizontally).&nbsp; The top row of cubbies is already stocked with bags and the bottom row has jeans, sweaters, and will soon have workout gear.&nbsp; We bought a very heavy metal bar and put it across the full width.&nbsp; I ordered a hanging second bar so I can make a 2' section with short double bars and use the full height one for dresses only.</p> <p>This morning, the rubbermaid titanium shelving/rod systems are being installed on the other two walls.&nbsp; I will have one continuous shelf along the two walls and double hanging rods that can easily be varied for different sized clothes.&nbsp; I should end up with at least an extra 8' of rod space.&nbsp; </p> <p>Later today, I am going to go pick up at least 20 clear plastic stackable tubs that are shoe size and put the shoes that rarely get worn on the top shelf.&nbsp; Inexpensive tension rods near the floor will be added for shoes and robe hooks just inside the door.</p> <p>Last up is the replacement of the regular door with a matching bifold door so the entire perimeter is easily accessible.</p> <p>The total cost should come in around $500 but it should make the space much more usable.</p> <p>Anyone have any other good ideas for improving a small walk in closet? </p>
