I need more closet space.

11 years ago

The farmhouse we are moving into, has a small old style closet in the master bedroom. Inside, there is a panel to access the plumbing for the bathroom. Also, there is a slanted ceiling because of an attic stairway. We want to make the closet door larger, with a barn style sliding door, made of reclaimed barn wood. My question is, how do I make this odd space well organized and convenient?

Determine just how large you want the closet to be. Apply blue tape on the floor accordingly. This will give you an idea if it is feasable to enlarge existing closet or whether to buy a free standing storage piece, such as an old armoire or a portable closet piece from Ikea to place in another spot in the room.

I love the idea of a series of matching cupboards along a windowless wall for closet space.
