Walk-in closets
Walk-in closet layouts by shape
The shape of the closet sets how the walls are used. A walk-in needs room to stand and turn, so shelves and hanging go on the walls and the middle stays open.
A narrow walk-in
Hanging on one long wall and shallow shelves on the other, so there is still room to walk between them.
L-shaped
Hanging along the long wall and shelves on the short wall, with the corner used for things reached less.
U-shaped
Hanging on the two side walls and a stack of shelves on the back wall, facing you as you walk in.
A window or an attic hatch
Shelving stops short of a window and stays out from under an attic hatch, so both can still be opened.
Sizing the hanging in a walk-in
Push your hanging clothes together on the rod you use now and measure how much rod they fill, long pieces and short pieces separately. Add room to grow. That tells us how many feet of rod go on each wall, and what is left of the walls goes to shelves for folded clothes.
Count your shoes as well. A low shelf or two along the bottom of a wall keeps them off the floor and in pairs, and the space above them can still take hanging.
Spare rooms
Turning a small spare room into a walk-in closet
A small bedroom or a box room next to the main bedroom can be shelved and hung as a walk-in. The room already has what a closet needs: walls, a door, a light and air.
Use the walls without windows
Hanging and tall shelves go on the solid walls. The window wall takes low shelves under the sill, or a bench.
The bedroom door
A bedroom door swings wider than a closet door. Shelving on the hinge-side wall starts past its swing.
Leave room to dress
A spare room is larger than a walk-in, so there may be space for a chair or a mirror in the middle.
The closet in the room
The spare room may have its own closet. It can be shelved for shoes and folded clothes, with hanging on the open walls of the room.
A walk-in for a guest room or a child
A guest room walk-in needs less than a main closet: open hanging for a visitor, a shelf at luggage height so a suitcase can be opened in place, and the rest of the walls for linens and things stored between visits.
A child's walk-in works from the child's height up. Low rods and shelves they can reach hold what they wear, and the upper walls hold outgrown clothes and toys kept for later.
Fixtures
Lights, vents and outlets in a walk-in
A walk-in closet has more on its walls and ceiling than a reach-in.
The light
A ceiling light should shine down into the aisle. Tall shelving stays back from it so the shelves are lit and not shaded.
The air vent
A supply vent in the ceiling or wall needs to blow into open space, so the closet does not turn stuffy. Shelving is kept off the front of it.
Switches and outlets
Shelving is planned so a light switch by the door and any outlet on the wall stay in reach.
Smoke alarm
A smoke alarm on the ceiling stays clear of the top shelf.
Shops and offices
Storage shelving for Apalachicola businesses
A shop or office storeroom needs to hold more than it does now without getting harder to use. Shelving on the walls frees the floor and puts everything where it can be seen.
Shop stockrooms
Boxed stock on shelves at a height where the labels can be read, with the things that sell quickest nearest the door.
Office supply closets
Paper, toner and files on shelves spaced to the box size, with a lower level for cases of paper.
Rooms that change use
Adjustable shelf-and-rail lets a storeroom be set up again when the stock or the business changes.
Walkways and exits
Shelving stays out of the path to a back door and out of the swing of any door into the room.
Restrooms and break rooms
A shelf over a staff sink or a short run in a break room holds paper goods, cups and cleaning supplies where the staff use them.
By type of goods
Laying out shelves for what a business stores
Loose small things
Small parts or retail pieces go in bins on shelves at eye level, with a label on each bin front.
Paper and printed stock
Paper goods, bags and printed forms are light for their size and suit the upper shelves.
Seasonal displays
Signs and display pieces used a few weeks a year go on the top shelf or on the back wall, out of the daily path.
What to send from Apalachicola
For a walk-in closet, send the rough size and who uses it. If the closet is being made from a spare room, say so and give the room size. For a business, say when the storeroom can be cleared and who can open the building on the day the shelving goes in.
Other services at the same address, such as gutters or a garage door, can be booked through the Apalachicola services page.
