*how high is inside?

8ft, same as rest of the room

Good examples from Fun2BHere above, and for even more utilization, with that 8' ceiling inside height, if you can remove the wall, you can get a whole lot more storage in this space and make it really accessible too.

I like the idea of having drawers below clothes. DIY ideas? To make it custom width, Or purchase existing dresser?

Great idea, of another rod high up for off season clothing.

maybe also I could have a shelf right above the current rod

I like the side rod, much easier to access and see clothes.

Here are some other options, reasonably priced too.

I like Fun2Be's last 2 pictures, with a rod on the short side of the closet. I think that makes efficient use of space that's otherwise hard to get to. If you don't have a lot of long clothes (dresses and pants), that would be a perfect spot for them - leaving the other closet available for a double rod.

My Mom's closets have deep sides. She uses the inaccessible back part for out of season clothes, and moves the current season to the space in front of the door.

You can definitely put shelves above the clothes rod - maybe even two. In my hubby's closet, I put the rod up as high as I can reach, put a shelf above for long-term storage, and two shelves below for everyday things (shoes, briefcase, etc).

@Flo Mangan,

This is an amazing idea!
I can’t find this at Lowes.ca in Canada.

How can I find this in Canada, Toronto?
