You can transform a bedroom closet design quickly, easily, and affordably by installing a modular closet system. There are many competing storage systems and products out there, so take a look at several systems before you decide.
There are two main types of DIY systems; those made with ventilation coated wire components, and those made with solid chipboard components with a high pressure plastic laminate.
Mixing solid wood components with wire and rod shelving makes sense in some cases, for example…there are some items you’d like to see and some you’d like to store.
If you plan a system carefully, you can double the amount of storage area available.
It’s a good idea to have a few hooks, but not too many, or the closet will look cluttered. Slide-out drawers may not be worth it; simple, inexpensive shelving usually works just as well.
In addition to the usual bedroom closet layout, think about storage under the bed, as well as under the eaves if you have attic space. But also think about smaller pieces like filing cabinets and freestanding storage.
A combination of drawers and cabinets, and open shelves with doors offers the most flexibility. In most cases, the easiest way to plan is to start with a bookcase or chest of drawers somewhere in between. It often helps to divide a large closet in half or thirds to make things easier to find.
