Closet Made More Efficient

By booizzy

Growing up in Minnesota, my house had a big mudroom leading into the kitchen. My current house has only a little closet kitty corner to the front door.

Not only is this arrangement pretty dull-looking, it's very awkward.

To improve the corner, I took off the door, painted the inside of closet, and replaced the old rod with hooks. The end result is a much more efficient closet that makes the corner look better and holds a lot more coats.

Cost:

Paint: $10 for a quart or free if you have some leftover from another project
Hooks: $1.50 and up

My house is exactly the same way - front door at one leg of the corner with a small closet on the other. I like the idea of taking the door off and painting the inside.

Honestly, I liked the door on because it looks "cleaner" and provides symmetry to the adjacent door...BUT...it does look really nice with the inner walls painted and will get you to keep the closet organized (which I could never do).
