Custom linen closet
The linen closet is a critical feature of a functional house. This humble space is the nexus for your cleaning equipment, sheets, spare toiletries, and inevitably all sorts of miscellaneous household essentials. Built-in shelving is a great way to maximize the usable space while accommodating uniquely shaped items. This closet makeover turns 8 square feet of floor into 30 square feet of shelving, while retaining a generous taller section for a standing vacuum and long-handled cleaning tools. The entire structure is built from red oak, including thoughtful touches like beveled support rails and covered screws.
This linen closet features multiple large compartments for cleaning supplies and toiletries, as well as a tall compartment for mops, brooms, and vacuum cleaners. A shallow top shelf adds even more storage space without blocking the lighting or restricting access to the items in the top of the closet.
The shelves feature thoughtful details like chamfered supports and covered screw heads for a sturdy and cohesive look.
A wall-mounted rail system handles heavy loads with ease while maintaining the all-wood design.
I begin any installation project with careful measurements and laser leveling. This ensures that the final results will be closely fit and well aligned.
