Q: Can I use 12-inch shelves in a closet?

• <div><p>Yes, 12-inch shelves are often considered the standard closet shelf depth for storing folded clothing, shoes, and small containers. However, if you plan to store bulky items such as blankets, baskets, or cleaning supplies, you may want to go deeper. For specialized layouts, an adjustable system can give you more flexibility.</p></div>

Q: How do I find something in storage?

• <div><p>We use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/storage-ideas-every-room-your-house.htm">storage in nearly every room of the house</a>, so it's no surprise that we lose track of things from time to time. The best way to organize storage is to declutter each year to cut down on auxiliary items that can be donated or tossed. Once you decide what's worth keeping, create an inventory list for all boxes you won't open for at least six months.</p></div>

Q: How much space should be between closet shelves?

• <div><p>The vertical space between closet shelves depends on what you're storing. For clothing like shirts and sweaters, 10 to 12 inches is enough. Towels and linens need 12 to 15 inches, while tall storage bins may require 18 inches or more. Overcrowding your shelves can reduce accessibility and increase clutter, so be sure to leave breathing room for your items.</p></div>

Q: How much does built-in furniture construction cost?

• <div><p>Costs range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on size, materials, and design complexity.</p></div>

Q: Why are custom closets so expensive?

• <div><p>There are a few reasons custom closets are expensive: materials used, the luxury factor, and time to build. The people who can afford custom closets are those who can afford increased rates, and construction workers and contractors know this and charge accordingly. The time to build custom closets is substantial, especially if expensive material is being used or intricate details (like carved wood) are added to the project. </p></div>
