Bedroom, hall and coat closets hold a lot for their size when the shelf and rod are placed for what you own. A closet of long and short clothes mixed together, a closet of shirts and a coat closet each call for a different set-up.
Set-ups
Four ways to set up a reach-in closet
The layout depends on how much of the closet is hanging clothes and how much is folded or boxed.
Shelf over one rod
One rod runs the width of the closet with a shelf above it for folded things and boxes.
Two rods, one above the other
Double hang puts shirts on top and pants below, and holds more short clothes on the same width.
Split closet
Half the width gets double hang and the other half gets one high rod for dresses or coats.
Shelves at one end
A tall stack of shelves at one end takes folded clothes, shoes and bags, with a rod across the rest.
Using the ends of a reach-in closet
A reach-in closet is wider than its door, which leaves a strip at each end that you cannot see from the doorway. A rod that runs into those ends hides the clothes on it. Short shelves on the end walls put that space to use for things you do not need to see every day, such as spare bedding or shoe boxes.
The type of door changes the plan. A hinged door swings into the room and leaves the whole opening clear, while bifold and sliding doors cover part of the opening at any time. Shelving that reaches past the door frame can stop a bifold from folding, so shelf depth is set with the door in mind.
Above the rod
Making use of the closet shelf above the rod
A tall closet has more space over the rod than one shelf uses.
Height above the rod
Enough room between the rod and the shelf to lift a hanger on and off without catching the shelf.
Space above the shelf
In a tall closet, a second shelf higher up holds luggage, keepsake boxes and out-of-season clothes.
Bins with labels
Small things kept overhead stay findable in bins with the label facing out.
Below the clothes
Shoes, hampers and the closet floor
The floor of a reach-in closet is space too. What goes there decides how low the lowest rod can sit.
A low shoe shelf
One shelf a few inches off the floor lifts shoes up where they can be seen and keeps the floor easy to sweep.
A hamper under short clothes
Under a section of shirts, there is room for a laundry basket or a hamper on the floor.
Boots and tall things
Under long hanging the floor is covered by hems, so boots and tall bags go under the short-hang side instead.
A vacuum or ironing board
In a hall closet, an open strip of floor at one end holds a vacuum or an ironing board standing upright.
Closet by closet
Bedroom, hall and coat closets
Children's closets
A rod set low lets a child reach their own clothes. On an adjustable system it can be raised as the child grows.
Coat closets
One high rod for long coats and rain jackets, with a shelf above for hats, gloves and umbrellas.
Guest room closets
A shelf and a single rod, with floor space left open for a suitcase.
Shared bedroom closets
A reach-in used by two people can be split down the middle, with each side set up for its owner.
Closets under the stairs
Shelves step down with the slope of the ceiling, with the tallest level at the high end. The short end under the lowest steps suits flat things such as gift wrap or a folded card table.
Closet widths
Reach-in closet layouts by width
How wide the closet is decides how many set-ups fit side by side.
A one-door closet
A shelf and a single rod across the width, with little room left for shelves at the ends.
A two-door closet
Double hang behind one door and long hang behind the other, so each side is reached from its own door.
A wide closet
A stack of shelves in the middle, with a rod running out to each end.
Turning a bedroom closet into a home office closet
A closet in a room used as a home office can trade its rod for shelves. Printer paper and ink sit at desk height, file boxes go below, and the top shelf holds records that are kept but rarely opened. If a desk sits in front of the closet, the shelves at the ends stay reachable with the doors half open.
Businesses
Storage rooms and back rooms for Wausau businesses
Business storage rooms, back rooms and supply closets are shelved the same way as a house, planned around what they hold.
Back rooms
Runs of shelving for boxed stock, with the things used every day at waist height near the door.
Supply closets
Shelves for paper, cleaning supplies and office stock, spaced so boxes stand upright.
Staff coat space
A rod for coats and a shelf for bags near the staff entry or break room, so personal things stay out of the stock area.
What to send
What the room stores, how much wall is open, and the name of a contact at the building.
Planning a small business storage room
A back room in a small business has to hold stock, supplies and sometimes a desk, all in a few feet of wall. Stock that is only touched when new deliveries are put away can go higher or at the far end of the room.
If deliveries come in cartons, leave one open shelf near the door as a landing spot, so boxes do not end up on the floor while they wait to be unpacked. Stock that changes with the seasons, or a product line that grows, is a reason to choose adjustable shelf-and-rail for the back room.
