Hey there, shelfie nerds and nerdettes! Are you tired of stepping into your closet only to be greeted by a chaotic mess? Do you find yourself wondering how on earth you accumulated so many clothes, shoes, and accessories? Fear not! We have the ultimate solution to transform your nightmare-inducing closet into a dreamy space that’ll make even Marie Kondo proud. Let’s dive right in.

How to Maximize Your Closet Space by Going Custom

No two closets are alike, and that’s why we highly recommend developing a custom shelving system for your space. This way, you can get the most out of your closet. Here are a few ideas to help you build a closet that puts in the work for you:

#1: Floating Shelves: Suspended Sorcery

These marvels of modern design are, quite honestly, the unicorns of the shelving world. They defy gravity and take up minimal visual space while providing a sturdy platform (hello, contractor-grade brackets) to display your treasured belongings. Install some and watch as your closet transforms from cluttered chaos to organized elegance.

#2: Utilize Every Nook and Cranny

This probably goes without saying, but when it comes to maximizing closet space, no corner should be left untouched. Those neglected nooks and crannies are prime real estate waiting to be utilized. All of our shelves can be refined by size (most starting at 12”) in increments of ⅛ inch to squeeze perfectly into those awkward corners, making them a haven for shoes, handbags, or even your collection of snazzy hats.

#3: Tiered Shelving: Rise to the Occasion

Tiered shelving really is the superhero of closet organization. By stacking shelves on top of each other, you'll be able to make the most of your closet's vertical height. Dedicate each tier to a specific category of items, such as folded sweaters, jeans, or accessories.

#4: Got Hanger Hooks? 

If you're looking to make the most out of your closet space, Roderick hanger hooks are a game-changer. These versatile hooks allow you to hang multiple garments vertically, effectively creating a cascading effect that maximizes storage. By utilizing hanger hooks, you can easily organize clothing by type, color, or outfit while freeing up extra space on the closet rod. This setup not only keeps your clothes neatly aligned but also makes it easier to see everything at a glance. It's an effortless way to double your hanging capacity and keep your closet tidy!

#5: Maximize Space with Closet Hooks

Lastly, don't underestimate the power of adding hooks to your closet! Whether you choose mixed wood and metal hooks for a stylish, rustic look, or sleek metal hooks for a modern vibe, they can transform unused wall or door space into functional storage. Use these hooks to hang hats, bags, scarves, or even jewelry, freeing up shelf and drawer space. By strategically placing hooks on the inside walls or doors of your closet, you can easily access your go-to accessories and keep everything organized without sacrificing valuable closet real estate.
