Closets
Measuring, planning and fitting out closets of every size.
A closet works when its layout matches what you own and how you get dressed. This section helps you measure a closet properly, plan hanging and shelf space around your actual wardrobe, and decide what is worth adding before you spend anything. It answers questions about reach-in and walk-in layouts, awkward depths, doors that get in the way and closets shared by more than one person.
Begin with how to measure a closet before you buy organizers, and edit your clothes before you plan the space so you are not designing storage for things you will give away. Write down measurements for width, depth and height, and note obstacles like light switches, baseboards and door swing.
