Basement Finishing and Family Space Project

Organizing Space in the Walk-In Closet Video

The master closet of the Melrose home was redesigned to maximize storage space. Chloe Durant of California Closets met with the homeowner to draw up plans on redesigning the space. The dressers in the closet were cluttered and in the wrong areas while hanging clothes were not accessible. A drawer unit with full extension, ball-bearing slides was selected. Double hanging was put into place where the hanging rack used to stand. Women's shoe shelves were put in to display different shoes. A vanity with jewelry drawer section was installed and a hanging wall with hangers at different heights to keep clothes organized. Adding all the hanging units has resulted in a big gain in the amount of open floor spacein the walk-in closet.
