REACH-IN CLOSETS

Do I Have A Header?

The closet header, located above the closet opening, greatly affects shelf depth in reach-in closets. Since standard depths are around 24 inches, the header limits vertical space, making it difficult to access and utilize the top shelf. Therefore, for optimal storage in reach-in closets with headers, consider using 12-inch deep closet systems, storage towers, or shelving units for easier access and better utilization of the available space.

REACH-IN CLOSETS

What Type Of Doors Do I Have?

The type of closet door you have significantly impacts accessibility and storage placement. Sliding doors, while space-saving, restrict full access to the closet sides. This limitation means placing storage towers, drawers, and doors in the center of the opening for optimal use. Bi-fold doors, pocket doors, and outward-swinging doors offer wider openings, providing ample access to the entire closet and give you greater flexibility for your placement.

WALK-IN CLOSETS

Size Matters!

The size of your walk-in closet substantially influences your organizational choices. Small closets benefit from utilizing 12-inch deep shelves and storage towers, maximizing vertical space and every inch of wall space. Medium-sized closets offer more flexibility, allowing for both 12-inch and 16-inch deep options and combining closet systems with drawers and additional shelving. 16-inch depth is ideal for large closets, providing the greatest freedom for creative organization, accommodating multiple closet systems, individual towers, shelving, drawers, doors, and accessories like valet rods and belt/tie racks. Regardless of size, carefully measure your closet to determine its dimensions and maximize storage potential."
