What are your storage plans for your master closet(s)?
Comments (68)I love seeing your closets!! We have his and hers closets in the master, and I'm not satisfied with them (and we haven't even moved in yet). Our trim carpenter suggested a simple layout for rods and shelves, which looks great. Then I asked for shoe storage like rows of cubbies (meaning get more shoes in less space). He put in a slanted shelf along the baseboard. He was so proud of it, I didn't have the heart to tell him that it wouldn't meet my needs. Now, I'm kicking myself because I'm too wimpy to insist that he rip it out and redo it. Also, the floors have been finished now. I'm to the point where I have to pick my battles. Anyway, our best storage plans for our master are to de-clutter before moving in and to keep as much as possible in our huge cedar closet (for out of season clothing and shoes)....See MoreIkea Pax system in hall closet and linen closet
Comments (13)GH's link for a review: http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/product-reviews/home-products/closet-organizing-system-reviews/diy-closet-organizers#slide-6 They review a few at different price points. I have purchased some awsome IKEA products. My favorite is a long bench I put on wheels and my kids use this everyday with toy bins underneath. It is laminated and very easy to clean and sturdy. If you near an IKEA spend a day and feel the products as every product is on display. I have seen some not so quality items but for the price.... Are you and IKEA family member? They give monthly discounts and offers via e-mail and you can log on to the website for the current offers at each store. Most of the systems are 2 person jobs though so make sure you recruit help. Good Luck with your decision!...See MoreWho did you use for your custom closets?
Comments (28)we have done Elfa from the container store, first in our master closet, then as an office in a wide reach in closet, and then the coat closet, and the butlers pantry, and the food pantry. We used the metal basket type drawers and have the plastic liners in a few. Benefit is that the wire mesh doesn't leave marks in your clothing. Our previous house had the home depot version and the elfa is about twice as sturdy, feels solid and looks nicer....See MoreHas anyone used ikea sektion kitchen cabinets in a closet?
Comments (3)I don't why you couldn't use base cabinets in combination with other cabinets/options for the upper section. These are the same cabinets we used in our kitchen that we used for dressers in our bedroom.You could do the same with IKEA bases in your closet (presuming you can pull out drawers past your closet doors?) and then add upper cabinets or switch to something like Elfa (Container Store) rods and shelves. We've used Elfa in our closet and been very happy. I can see it being used for just the upper half of a closet with cabs underneath.We kept Christmas decorations and wrapping paper up there on the high shelf....See MoreSara
