Get matched with top closet pros in Guilderland, NY

Q: What is the least expensive material for shelves?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re on a tight budget, the least expensive material you can buy for DIY closet shelves is chipboard, a.k.a. particle board. This inexpensive material is made from a pulp of sawdust, resin, and glue that&rsquo;s pressed together under high temperature and pressure. As you can imagine, it&rsquo;s not very sturdy and might buckle under your blue jean collection, so you should only use it if you&rsquo;re storing very light items. </p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a custom closet?

• <div><p>Clean regularly, avoid overloading shelves, and check hardware for wear to ensure longevity.</p></div>

Q: How much space is there between bathroom closet shelves?

• <div><p>If you have a bathroom closet with movable shelves, you can place them at virtually any spacing that works for you. Useful measurements between shelves in the working, or middle, section can be 10 to 16 inches for towels or linens. Lower or higher shelving could be up to 24 inches between shelves to store lesser-used or bulky items or boxes. </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>
