Closets are the foundation of keeping your house organized, but it’s the easiest thing in the world to clutter and chaotic. The best news is you’ll be using your creativity and daily equipment to create your own custom home closet furniture, just adding real beauty and functionality for going from building some shelves to style storage solutions and personal touches-there’s just so much more space for designs within your space.
Here are seven DIY home closet furniture projects that might inspire you to give your closet a complete makeover.
1. DIY Closet Shelving System
One of the easiest and most effective closet makeovers you could have would be through building your DIY shelving system. This means you can install flexible shelves that could accommodate folded clothes, shoes, accessories, and even storage boxes. You may use two-inch plywood or MDF for the shelves and metal brackets for support.
DIY Tip: Paint the shelves a color that matches the rest of your closet or starkly contrasting to make this space really pop.
2. Custom Closet Shoe Rack
Organizing the shoes is, in itself, a rather big task, but making a Do-It-Yourself shoe rack helps to make them look neat. Assemble the wooden dowels into a ladder-style shoe rack or make a floating shelf for your shoes on one side of the closet to add a feel of luxuriousness using stained wood or painted boards matching your closet theme.
Budget-Tip: Build a shoe storage using old wooden crates and stack them in a rustic style.
3. Built-In Closet Drawers
If the closet didn’t come with installed built-in closet drawers, then one of the biggest differences would be installing it. Building some DIY built-in drawers will give you the convenience of a place to store small items such as accessories, socks, and undergarments. You can make them out of plywood and simple drawer slides.
Pro Tip: Install a floating clothes rack and hang your clothes off of it. You can then place all the drawers side by side for optimum space-saving.
4. Floating Clothes Rack

Hanging of a horizontal metal or wooden bar on the wall to hold your clothes in a stylish and accessible way is called a DIY.

DIY Tip: Use copper or gold pipes for an industrial look.
