No closet

Shelby @ The Weathered Barn Studio on May 25, 2015...Do you have maybe ONE short or medium sized wall you could utilize for use as a ' closet "..? A couple of options ....:I actually ' made a closet ' in a room that had no closet. I took heavy duty metal piping , sized for hangers, and attaches it to two opposite walls with plumbing metal plates. I then attached an extra closet bracket to the middle., to hold the pipe securely. ( You could also use a wooden one, but...THEY SAG. Yuck. ) Of course you could also use a regualr closet pole plate , but it needs to hold the metal pipe .I then used pretty drapes , hung from a higher drapery rod , to use as ' doors ' to the closet. I used 100 " panels using drapery clips . This allowed freedom of movemant with the drapes, and allowed them to be hung closer to the ceiling, which looks better. :) The other option is a ' ready made ' clothes closet, they have really nice cloth ones these days, and most of them are quite spacious.Helpful Reply

Chris on May 26, 2015I had a similar situation years ago... small room, with little to no storage. Large furniture such as dressers, or wardrobes would engulf the room; making it appear even smaller. At my local thrift store, I found some vintage suitcases to store clothing. I stair stacked them, and they doubled as shelves. Old steamer trunks work well also. It could double as a table. Or, if you were able to find 2, you could put a board across the top, and use it as a desk/work area. Multipurpose & multifunctional work great in small spaces.Helpful Reply

Kate on May 30, 2015Robin-- Are you able to get up and down ok? If so, enlist some friends to put your bed on risers. (They're inexpensive, available at Big Lots.) It raises the bed maybe 6-7 inches, enough where you can store stuff beneath the bed. Zippered sweater bags and zippered clothing bags would lay neatly--out of the way, but easily accessible...and without taking up an inch of precious real estate in the bedroom. Good luck.Helpful Reply
