No matter what kind of closet you're planning, take the time to think ahead and really consider what you need to store and where you want to store it. Taking a hard look at what you have will help you understand the kind of storage you need.
Step One
Designate a staging area and empty your closet out.
Step Two
Organize items into specific categories and take inventory.
Step Three
Eliminate items that don't belong in that particular closet.
Step Four
Remove unwanted items. This might be the most difficult part of the closet planning process.
Step Five
Clean the closet itself. If you find your closet walls have mildew or mold after you remove items, have a professional examine your walls and properly clean and paint them.
