Do you want to add shelves, drawers and hanging rods in a large closet to organize your wardrobe and reduce clutter? This DIY Walk-In Closet Organizer has a sophisticated built-in look, yet you can install it yourself and save money.
3 Ways Closet Evolution’s Walk-in Organizer Maximizes Your Space:
- The best layout for a DIY walk-in closet organizer to maximize space often involves a combination of shelves, hanging rods, drawers and cubbies.
- In addition, utilizing vertical space with adjustable shelves and incorporating double hanging rods can optimize storage capacity.
- Furthermore, including specialized organizers like shoe racks, hooks and bins can efficiently utilize every inch of available space.
This particular kit includes a variety of shelves, drawers and hanging rods. Therefore, you can easily find a spot for all of your clothing, shoes, accessories and jewelry.
In addition, you get a large corner shelving area with 5 shelves. This added feature takes advantage of closet corners: typically wasted space that goes unused due to inadequate storage design.
Furthermore, this walk-in closet system has a long upper shelf that spans the length of the top. Consequently, you get an additional 9-15 feet of space where you can store less frequently-used items up and out of the way.
On top of that, this organizer mounts on the wall, rather than sitting on the floor. Therefore, you can take advantage of floor space for shoes, bags or storage bins.
As you can see, this unit makes really efficient use of vertical space for storage – from floor-to-ceiling. In other words, you can store lots of clothing and accessories without taking up a large footprint.
As a result, you can get rid of clutter, have your closet feel more spacious and make items easier to find.
Plus, you give your closet a modern, upscale look that also adds value to your home. (Not to mention, you’ll enjoy using it everyday.)
Note: Because this closet system mounts on the wall instead of the floor, you don’t have to cut or remove baseboards. This translates to less work during installation and a clean look when you’re finished.
How to Install a DIY Walk In Closet System:
Here are instructions on how to build a diy walk-in closet organizer from a kit:
1. First of all, this package includes all of the parts and pieces you’ll need to assemble the shelving. Plus, it comes with all of the required hardware. The wall-mounted frame, shelves and drawers are moderately easy to install. It typically takes a few hours for assembly, and you’ll need basic tools like a drill, level and screwdriver.
2. Second, you can easily cut the rods and shelves to size. Therefore, if you have a small walk in closet or a wall that is not long enough to fit the arrangement as shown, no problem. Just cut the pieces to the size you need.
3. Third, the closet installation will require more time than a freestanding closet system or something like the ClosetMaid ShelfTrack. That said, this renovation may be much easier than you think.
Although it may look like a daunting do-it-yourself project, this closet organizer is fairly simple and straightforward. In fact, one person could build the entire project, except that you want 2 people to hang the unit on the wall. The Instruction Guide walks you through the installation process, step by step.
