Closet Storage: Elfa Classic vs Decor?
Comments (5)we have our butler's pantry, food pantry, entry closet, and master bedroom closet all in the standard, with platinum finish.

Comments (3)You can maximize storage space in the closet with boxes carefully chosen to fit (from a local box store or online) and/or a closet system that may require some alterations. Do you have permission to install shelves and clothes rods? If not, boxes are probably the best option.

Comments (3)For indoor shoes (i.e. not wet or muddy), I've used Ikea's Bissa shoe storage cabinets before. As usual, they're well priced, practical, and rather boring to look at. They have no back, though, so they must be set up against a wall....See Morewritersblock (9b/10a)
