7 Closet Design Mistakes to Avoid

Man frustrated with messy closet
Avoid common layout mistakes that lead to frustration and wasted space.

We've fixed hundreds of 'DIY gone wrong' projects. Here are the pitfalls to avoid. If you're unsure, consider our professional design process.

The "Dead Corner"

Hanging clothes all the way into a corner makes them inaccessible. We use specialized corner shelves or stop the hanging 12" from the wall to create usable space.

Fixed Shelves Failing Them

Boots need more space than flats. Designing fixed shelves is a mistake. Always use adjustable shelving systems like ours to adapt as your wardrobe changes. Check out our reach-in guide for more shoe storage tips.

Avoid the headache. Hire a professional designer.
