Since my accessories and shoe closet has seen its own transformation, it's about time that I focus on the second closet in my bedroom. This one houses a lot of my clothes-90% of which are for work.
Here is how my closet currently looks:
There is so much wasted space at the top and bottom of the closet. And that wire shelf. The worst. And they are in all of my closets (sans the accessories and shoe closet since I removed it).
I got out my notebook and a pen and took some measurements. I measured the amount of space each type of clothing took up in my closet. Here is a very rough sketch that I came up with:
This sketch utilizes every square inch of closet space. And, so, because I love sketching and playing designer, I took this sketch to another level:
In my quest to get this closet into tip-top shape, I did a lot of looking around online. I've checked out Ikea, The Container Stores Elfa system, Martha Stewart's system at Home Depot, Closet Maid, and a few other websites that provide suggested configurations based on your measurements. Ultimately, they didn't give me the all of the options I was looking for and they all wasted too much space. Custom it is.
Now to be honest, these measurements may be inaccurate, so we'll need to measure twice a few times and cut once when things actually get rolling... which probably isn't for a long while. I'm still renovating my kitchen.
Since nothing is physically in the works, and I'm pretty excited about the great possibilities this drawing brings, I thought I would share what I've got brewing. I'm also thinking about adding beadboard in the closet since it's currently sporting the ceiling-esque swirly plastered style stuff.
Any other ideas or solutions I should consider?
