A small home doesn’t mean you have to give up style or storage. With some careful planning, you can design a closet that’s both practical and beautiful.
1. Creative Use of Corners
Don’t forget those odd nooks in your small home. Turn them into storage with custom shelves or hooks. I once made a weird little spot into a shoe storage area for someone.

2. Customized Built-Ins for a Perfect Match
Think about custom built-ins to make every bit of space work hard. Make the design just right for what you need and the size of your small home. In one project, I made special shelves and drawers that fit my client’s clothes perfectly.
A few helpful options:

3. Easy to See Closet Designs
Think about a closet that’s open so you can see and get to everything easily. This can make your space feel bigger and more welcoming. I think it helps you keep things neat, because everything is right there.
A few suggestions:
