Last month, the Ana White Homemaker website posted an example of door shelves that peaked our interest. Closet space is one of those things that few houses ever seem to have enough of. If you need to add some extra storage to a room, build some shelves onto the inside of the closet door. Provided that you have just a few inches of depth, you can give yourself plenty of room for shoes, belts, or other accessories.
All you need is a few simple wooden boards from any home improvement store, and maybe a little paint if you want them to look nice. Other than that, it’s just a matter of nailing everything together. You’ll want to make sure you build in some guardrails on the shelves to ensure things don’t slide all off, too. You might not be able to store too much heavy stuff, or risk putting excess strain on your door hinges. However, just a couple shelves can help organization immensely.
So, if you’re up for it – Go for it! Need a hand with a special project? Give us a call!
