Narrow door
+7
My linen closet door is very narrow, allowing only 13" for back of door storage (to supplement the inside shelving). There is at least 10" of clearance, so toilet tissue, extra towels, tools, and etc. would easily fit. Also, I rent, so I need something inexpensive and with a minimum of hardware. Most pocket organizers, which would be ideal, are at least 19" so would not work. As you can see, there's way too much stuff on the floor!
Need back of door storage ideas!

The present shelves are not deep enough. Easiest fix is to get boards to add to what's there already, making them deeper. The side supports are in place, so why mess with the door when you don't have to.........

You can get a cheap plastic pocket organizer, and cut off one column of the pockets to make it fit.

I use curtains on a lot of those kind of applications where the door is in the way. Nice sheers do a good job.

I assumed that it was a door causing the blockage. I've had that problem in the past. That's all I meant.

Hi! I had that problem in my previous home. Same size closet as yours. I just took the lower shelf off and put it above bumped up to one of the upper shelves (which made that shelf deeper). Now I had more floor space and I placed a little rolling cart in there which had drawers in it. The rolling cart was perfect for soaps, razors, washclothes, and other bathroom items!

Thanks to all!! Here's the result of the option I chose. And Darla, all I had to do with this pocket organizer was to fold it back. Did not have to cut anything, and I love the results! It gors the entire length of my door, but can't get far enough to show that in the picture.
