How to Make Small Closet Built-Ins

Small closet organization can be a pain. Most often a small closet has one wire shelf and… well that’s it. Which is a waste of valuable storage space!

I've been thinking of small closet organization and built-ins ideas for a while and I’ve come up with a design that I feel really maximizes the typically wasted vertical space in a closet by adding 8 drawers at the bottom sides of the closet. However, the storage options remain really flexible due to adjustable shelves so you can customize them to store things however you see fit.

In this video I’ll show you step by step how I made the built-ins so that you can recreate them for yourself and upgrade your small closet!
