Reach-in closets
Setting up a reach-in closet in DeFuniak Springs
A reach-in closet is one wall of storage behind a door. Everything has to be reached from the doorway, so the layout is about height and width more than depth.
One rod and a shelf
The simple layout: one hanging rod across the full width with a shelf above. It suits a closet that holds a mix of long and short clothes.
Two rods on one side
Shirts and folded pants can hang on an upper and a lower rod on one side, with a single high rod on the other side for longer pieces.
The ends past the door frame
The space behind the wall at each end of the doorway is hard to see. Shelves there suit shoes, bags or things you reach for less.
Sliding and folding doors
With sliding doors only half the closet is open at a time, so keep daily clothes on one side. Folding doors open wider but take up room in front of the closet.
A child's closet
A lower rod lets a child reach and hang their own clothes.
A closet with no light
If the closet has no fixture of its own, keep the shelf low enough that light from the bedroom reaches what sits on it.
Measure first
Four numbers from a reach-in closet
Write these down before you call. They tell us what the closet can hold.
Inside width
Wall to wall inside the closet, not just the door opening.
Depth
From the back wall to the inside of the door. Hangers need room to hang without the door pressing on them.
Height to the header
The wall above the door opening hides a top shelf set too high. Note how far down the header comes.
Ceiling height
A tall closet may have room for a second shelf above the first, for things you reach for a few times a year.
Pantry
Spacing pantry shelves for what you store
Pantry shelves work when each gap fits what sits in it. Measure your tallest can, box and appliance, and tell us what goes where.
Cans and jars
Short things stack on shelves spaced close together, so a pantry wall can hold more levels of them.
Boxes and bags
Cereal, crackers, flour and rice need taller gaps.
Small appliances and bulk buys
A slow cooker, mixer or case of water fits on the lowest shelf, where heavy things are lifted the shortest distance.
Everyday things at eye level
Snacks and things used every day go between waist and eye height. Extras and holiday things go on top.
Walk-in or cabinet pantry
A walk-in pantry can take shelves on two or three walls. A narrow pantry behind a door gets full-width shelves spaced by height.
How you shop changes the pantry
A household that buys in bulk needs fewer, taller gaps, so cases and large bags fit without being opened first. A household that shops each week and keeps a little of everything does better with more shelves set closer together, so nothing hides behind something else.
If you are not sure yet, adjustable shelf-and-rail lets you live with the pantry for a while and move the shelves once you see how it fills.
Beyond food
Other things a pantry ends up holding
Plan for them now, or they take over the floor.
Pet food
A large bag or bin of pet food sits on the floor under the lowest shelf. Leave that level high enough for the bin lid to open.
Recycling
A recycling bin can live under the bottom shelf at one end of a walk-in pantry, out of the kitchen.
Paper goods and foil
Paper towels, napkins, foil and food bags are light and bulky, so they belong on the top shelf.
Kitchen overflow
Roasting pans, a stock pot and holiday platters that do not fit the kitchen cabinets can take a deep shelf near the top.
Lunch and snack supplies
One shelf at a child's height with snacks and lunch boxes lets children help themselves without climbing.
Shelving a house you already live in
A closet or pantry that is in use needs to be emptied before new shelving goes in. Clearing the shelves and the floor the day before keeps the work moving and gives you a chance to sort what goes back.
If the room has old shelving, tell us when you ask for the quote, along with anything about it you want changed, such as a rod set too low or shelves too far apart.
Other rooms
Laundry, garage and linen shelving in the same house
Laundry room
Shelves over the washer and dryer for detergent and baskets, set to clear a top-loading lid, with a hanging rail beside them.
Garage walls
Shelving kept below the door track and away from the opener, for bins, tools and paint.
Linen closet
Evenly spaced shelves for sheets, towels and spare blankets, with the spacing set by how thick your stacks are.
Getting a DeFuniak Springs shelving quote
For a closet, say who uses it and roughly how much of their clothing hangs long and how much hangs short. Mention any closet with a light fixture, an attic hatch or a water valve inside it. We measure the rooms and quote the work.
Other work at the same house, such as gutters or a garage door, can be booked from the DeFuniak Springs services page.
