Walk-in closet shelving in Chipley
Big Bend Services, Inc. supplies and installs wire shelving for houses in Chipley, the Washington County seat, in ZIP code 32428. Closets, pantries, laundry rooms, garages and storage rooms are all shelved, for homeowners and for builders.
A walk-in closet has more choices than any other room, because three or four walls have to be divided between hanging space, shelves and room to stand. Each choice starts from what you own: how much of it hangs long, how much hangs short, and how much is folded.
Layout
Planning a walk-in closet one wall at a time
Each wall of a walk-in closet can do a different job. Deciding what each one holds comes before any shelf height is set.
The wall facing the door
This is the wall you see first and reach without stepping around anything, so it suits the clothes you wear every week. A double-hang section here puts shirts on the top rod and pants folded over hangers on the lower one.
The longer side wall
A long wall has room for a run of long hanging for dresses, coats and suits, with a shelf above the rod for sweaters and boxes.
The shorter side wall
A short wall can take shelves from low to high instead of a rod: shoes near the floor, folded clothes at chest height and bins at the top.
The corners
Where two walls meet, a rod on each wall runs into the other and the clothes on both get crushed together. Stopping one rod short of the corner, or filling the corner with shelves, keeps every hanger within reach.
The door wall
The strips of wall beside the door are narrow, but a short rod or a column of shelves fits there as long as the door still swings all the way open.
Shapes
Laying out a walk-in closet by its shape
The floor plan of the closet decides how many walls can carry shelving before any other choice is made.
Narrow walk-in
There is room for shelving on one long side only, with the other side left for walking. That wall gets double hang with a shelf above, and the end wall takes a short run of shelves.
Square walk-in
Shelving runs around three walls in a U, with open floor in the middle. The back wall can take long hanging or a full stack of shelves.
Long galley walk-in
Shelving runs down both long sides with an aisle between them. One side can be shallower than the other to keep that aisle comfortable.
Walk-through closet
A closet with a door at each end, such as one between a bedroom and a bathroom, uses its two side walls so both doorways stay open.
Splitting a walk-in closet between long hang, double hang and shelves
Long pieces such as dresses, robes and coats need one rod to themselves. A closet with more folded clothes than hanging ones gets more shelf and less rod, and the reverse works the same way.
Two people sharing a walk-in closet can each take a side. Bags go on a shelf at eye level so the straps do not tangle, and belts and ties can hang from the end of a rod, so neither ends up on the closet floor.
Builders
Closet and pantry shelving for new Chipley houses
Every room that gets shelving in a new house can go on one quote.
When shelving goes in
Tell us the stage the house has reached, so the install is booked to suit it.
What to send us
The street address, the rooms that get shelving, the date the house will be ready for it, and the name and number of the person who will be on site.
Houses built for an owner
When the owner is known, their own list of what goes in each closet can shape the walk-in layout before the first box arrives.
Other rooms
Pantry, laundry room and garage shelving in the same house
Pantry
Shelf levels spaced for cans at one height, and for cereal boxes and small appliances at another.
Laundry room
A shelf over the washer and dryer for detergent, with a rail for shirts that need to hang.
Garage
Wall shelving for bins and tools, set clear of the door track and the opener.
Reach-in closets
A shelf over a single rod, or two rods for a double-hang bedroom closet.
More than clothes
Storing more than clothes in a walk-in closet
A walk-in closet has room for things other than clothes, as long as each gets its own spot in the plan.
Luggage
Suitcases stack on the top shelf of the deepest wall, out of the way between trips.
Spare bedding
Extra sheets and blankets for the bedroom can sit on a shelf near the door when there is no linen closet close by.
A hamper
Floor space under the double-hang section holds a hamper, so worn clothes stay in the closet.
Keepsake boxes
Boxes opened once a year go on the highest shelf in a corner.
Out-of-season clothes
Winter coats and heavy sweaters wait in lidded bins on a high shelf until the weather turns.
Before you call
What to tell us about the walk-in closet
Size
The rough width and depth of each walk-in closet, and how many walls have no door or window.
Fixed or adjustable
If you want shelves that can move later, say so, because that decides between fixed shelving and adjustable shelf-and-rail.
What is on the walls
Any window, attic hatch or light switch, and which way the door swings, since the shelving has to work around each one.
