Reach-In Closet Makeover Guide: Maximize Small Spaces

Organized reach-in closet with double hanging
Maximize vertical space in a standard reach-in closet with the double hang strategy.

Most standard bedrooms in Cumming and Alpharetta come with a single wire shelf and rod. This leaves about 50% of the closet space wasted. Here's how to fix it, similar to our small bedroom layouts recommendations.

The "Double Hang" Strategy

By removing the single rod and installing two levels of hanging rods (one at 40" and one at 80"), you instantly double your hanging capacity for shirts, pants, and skirts.

Adding Shelves for Shoes

Floor space in a reach-in closet is often a cluttered mess of shoes. We recommend a vertical stack of 12" deep shelves down the center or side of the closet specifically for footwear and folded knits. Check out our top accessories for more organizational ideas.
