Embrace your architecture. Don’t think of this as your typical closet — imagine it more like a unique boutique space with sloped ceilings and quirky angles. “If your space is wide enough, enhance that boutique feel with a center island or cool upholstered bench seat,” says Robert Clarke, architect and president of CBi Design Professionals. “Embrace the sloped ceiling but consider adding built-in armoires or shelving along the walls to disguise the decreasing wall height.”Unusual spaces might best benefit from professional help. “There will be more and larger options when you work with, not against, the architectural shapes of the space,” says interior designer Sheree Schold of Interiors Unleashed. “But if you have limited space with angled ceilings, nooks and crannies, it might pay off in the long run to have a professional design and build the closet space for you. There are exceptions, but most of the time, prebuilt or ready-made closet systems are not worth altering to fit into odd-shaped and angled attic spaces.”
