No matter how big your closet, it always seems that you can use some extra space. Hanging your clothes on the bar is one way of keeping your clothes in order, but it does nothing for all of the other things that usually wind up in a big and messy pile on the floor. To help solve that problem, you may need to install some shelves. You can take the easy way out and simply purchase a pre-made shelving unit that sits on the floor or you can buy a set of shelves that have been factory designed and come with all the necessary hardware to hang them. Those options are okay for some, but if you want a custom closet with the most shelf space, the only way to go is to build your own closet shelving. Building your own closet shelving is not a very difficult project. Probably the most difficult part of the job is emptying out your cluttered closet so you have room to work. The first thing you need to do is decide the type of shelving you want to install. There are a number of choices including coated steel wire shelving, glass and wood. In this case, I will focus on building closet shelving out of wood. You must carefully measure the dimensions of your closet and the wall or walls where you want the shelving to go. White or Yellow Pine makes a good choice for shelving as it is strong, looks nice, can be easily painted and does not cost a lot. There is no need to get the more expensive premium pine with no knots because, after all, these shelves will be hidden in your closet. Go down to the local home improvement center, select your lumber and have some one cut them to the proper length. Buy some brackets and any hardware you might need to hang the shelves. Once you are ready to start. Draw lines in pencil on your wall where you want to place the shelves. Make sure to use a level so the line is straight. Next, screw in the brackets to the wall, placing them every 2 to 3 feet apart. The closer you space them, the more weight your shelves will support. If you have a hollow wall and can't find a stud, be sure to use a wall anchor. Finally, take the boards and place them on top of the brackets. Use a couple of small screws to secure the shelves to the brackets. Painting or staining is optional
