Shelves Can Help You Organize Your Home And Your Life

By:Ben Franklin


A closet is an indispensable part of every household. Modern homes demand state-of-the-art closets, which are in sync with the status of the owner. With the increase in public awareness over closet styling, the closet shelving business has boomed manifold times over the last decade. As it rapidly grows, there is a continually widening range of products. Modern closet shelving is designed to accommodate more closet storage according to the buyer's needs. The designing is such as to elegantly maximize the storage capacity making life much easier than before.

Good designing of closet shelving results in the maximum use of every space in the home. Closets come in various shapes and sizes suiting the requirements of individuals. Although there are a variety of products on the market, the closet shelving business is classified to a few basic types like single shelf-and-pole, double pole and sweater shelves/shoe shelves.

The single shelf-and-pole closets are manufactured such as to include a single shelf-and-pole installation in every piece. This designing results in a comfortable storage of long coats and dresses and often a customized section for children's clothes. A single shelf-and-pole about 66" is provided to hang the dresses and coats avoiding them dragging on the floor. The distance from the bottom of the shelf or floor to the top is measured and then a pole is installed around 64" from the bottom. This height can be customized to accommodate the clothing of exceptionally tall people.

The double pole style of closets is designed to provide just the required height and spacing for general sized clothes. It has an installation of separate double poles of 42" which makes the top shelf 84" from the floor. This design is made keeping in mind the wardrobe of today's generation which generally comprises of pants and shirts which could easily be accommodated in the closet by folding and then hanging on a hanger. This practice requires only half the hanging height of about 34", as compared to the long dress hanging which covers the entire space from the bottom of the shelf to the top. On the other hand, shirts usually require 40" from the bottom of the shelf. The double shelf-and-pole presence in the closet doubles the storage space and makes for an easier installation of shelves.

The top shelf of the closet should cover its entire breadth stretching around all three walls in a U-shaped closet. This design of 84" height of the top shelf determines the second or top shelf over a single shelf-and-pole. A 12" space between the top shelf and the ceiling is provided for shoeboxes, hatboxes and other items.

The sweater shelves are provided 16" above the floor. The consecutive shelves are spaced out at 12" allowing room for tall boots on the floor. The even spacing of the shelves is achieved by installing the top shelf at 84" from the floor. The single shelf-and-pole creates a problem of horizontal alignment with other shelves due to its height of 68" from the floor. A 16" space between the single shelf-and-pole and the top shelf is divided by an additional shelf to create spacing for a few pairs of shoes. The shoe shelves are designed specifically to accommodate all types of shoes from high-tops and pumps.
