Design tip WoodTrac closets are a cabinet based system with 18”, 24” and 30” wide full-length cabinets (interior dimensions), 18”, 24”, 30” and 36” wide hanging half cabinets, and 47.25” and 96” Shelf and Rods. Generally at least 60% of storage in a closet should be hanging space. For an average homeowner we suggest 70% double hang, 10% single hang and then split the rest on shelving and/or drawer storage. Center Shelving/Drawer cabinets on walls for easy access. Then fill in remaining space with Double Hang storage and a Single Hang section 12-30” wide. To deal with corners run cabinets on one wall into the corner or run a shelf and rod into the corner. Then on the perpendicular wall start the next cabinet or hanging space approximately 24” from the wall corner. Keep resized cabinets to a minimum (1 per wall max) to reduce install times. For Hanging Storage Double Hang Half cabinets are the easiest installation. Double Hang full cabinets are the best looking option for hanging space. Using a Single Hang Shelf and Rod between cabinets or cabinets and a wall is the least expensive option. Double Hang and Single Hang Half cabinets can be cut to size. Clients with many dresses or who hang pants full length may need more single hang space versus a typical homeowner who needs 24-30” of Single Long Hang space. Put single hang storage in corners because it is often the least accessed clothing. Shelf cabinets with their tiltable and adjustable shelves are ideal for shoe storage or flat storage of items like sweaters. Add a pack of extra shelves to a Shelf Cabinet for clients with large shoe collections. Door/Drawer cabinets offer some shelf storage and some drawer storage for storage of loose items like socks, and undergarments. Use upper doors to hide items and add a high-end look. Add more drawers for clients who don’t have drawer storage (chests, dressers) in their bedroom. Accessorize with Rev-a-shelf wire baskets, valet rods, hampers, etc. Use code 1sauder50 to get 50% off all items on www.rev-a-shelf.com. .
