Custom Closet Design Ideas for Small Spaces

Picture of a custom closet.

Many homeowners wish their closets had more storage space available. Lack of space can lead to a cluttered look and general disorganization, making it difficult to find the items you’re looking for.

While expanding the closet itself may not be possible based on the layout of the house and other restrictions, there are other ways that you can make the most of the space you do have. By adding organizational elements and getting creative, you can greatly improve the look and feel of your closet, regardless of the size. In this overview, we explore some custom closet design ideas for small spaces.

Use Shelving and Racks at Different Levels

If you look in your closet right now, chances are there’s a lot of unused space. You may have a standard rack installed with clothing hanging along it. But what about the space above and below it? This area can be put to good use with some clever design options. If you don’t have enough rack space for hanging all of your clothes, you may want to have two levels of racks installed – one higher and one lower than what’s currently in place. This can quickly double your rack space, allowing for double the amount of clothing to be stored.

In addition to multiple levels of racks, you can also consider having more shelving installed. If you move the rack a little higher, you can easily add shelving below for storing shoes, bags, and other accessories. Likewise, you can move the rack a little lower and add shelving above the rack instead.

Add Cabinets Under Hanging Clothes

Adding custom cabinets to your small closet is another great option for organizing your space. Just like shelving, cabinets can be installed over or under a rack of clothes to add more storage. Additionally, cabinets have the benefit of creating a cleaner look in your closet. Rather than putting all of your clothing out on display, you can tuck items away in your cabinets. Accessories like shoes and bags can also be set inside closet cabinets to create a neater look.

That way, when you or anyone else looks inside your closet, they won’t see a pileup of clothing items and accessories. Instead, they’ll see the gorgeous custom cabinetry that provides an elevated aesthetic to enhance the beauty of your closet space.
