put two supports in that corner and then have the counter run end to end. you cant use that space anyway, if its covered nothing can fall down.

This is how I've tackled my closet: 1. I identify what's working and what's not working for me with my current system. Are things difficult to access and store? Is there simply too much stuff for the space? (Do I have alternate storage areas?) Does everything here belong here? Can I envision my dream closet? I spend a few minutes outlining some goals for the space (e.g. nothing on the floor, easier time getting dressed in the morning, etc.) 2. I take everything out of the closet to wipe it down and vacuum the floor properly. The clothes get dumped on my bed and the rest of the stuff gets spread out on the floor. 3. I go through each and every item and purge what I can. Whatever doesn't fit or spark joy does not merit a space in my closet. (I donate or toss items as needed.) 4. Group like with like. (I question my stock again at this point. Once I see all my shoes together, for example, it's easier to wonder "do I really need this many pairs of shoes in my current life?") 5. Figure out the best ways FOR ME to store each group (pants, jackets, skirts, blouses, shoes, bags...). This is where the reflection done in the first step is helpful. For example, I know myself enough to know that opaque containers don't work for me because "out of sight = out of mind". Checking out the recommended websites comes into play at this point. I do not consider a new system until I figure out exactly what needs to be stored. 6. Install new system (if need be) and find an easy to access home for every single item. Part of keeping a space tidy is making it easy to put things back where they belong. (Learnt that tip from Marie Kondo.) 7. Admire my new works-so-much-better-for-me! closet. Vow to maintain it seasonally. :)

Seriously?! Why? No, that's how the dummy knob got the dummy name. It doesn't DO anything . But it IS a three year old thread, so I think the operative word her might indeed be "dummy" in all regards and yes, I'll include myself: )

Is the switch bank next to the closet door? Does the closet door swing, or slide? If it swings, is the switch bank on the hinge side, or is it on the doorknob side? Tbh, if it’s a reach-in, sounds like the switch could be hard to reach, especially if the closet fills up. Would you consider an automatic switch located in the door jamb? When you open the door, the light would automatically come on.
