Make your life easier and purchase a shelf to organize your closet space.

Not having the perfect closet space is a problem most people constantly run into and it's not an easy problem to solve. Building more closets into your home just isn't an option especially if you are renting. If you own your home it would be a different story but almost all of us are renting or living with our parents, leaving us to work with what we have.

Closet space is so important in a home; it keeps your essentials and clutter hidden away. Imagine a home without closets... it would be pretty messy! With most of us having limited closet space in our homes, we need to make it a high priority to use the space to maximum capacity while still looking pretty and organized of course!

I recently have run into the problem of my closets just not having enough shelves. I am fortunate enough to have a closet dedicated to all of my school/office supplies, but this closet is designed to hang clothes in. Living in a rental space means I cannot alter the closet permanently, meaning I cannot build my own shelves and put them in myself. It's just not allowed in most apartments, especially not in Fanshawe's residences buildings!

Some of your stuff just isn't meant to be piled up in a closet space, it could be any item that you use on a regular basis and need easy access to. So what is the solution you may be asking, well I came up with a quick and well needed answer for you... and for myself for that matter.

I purchased shelves from the local Canadian Tire, called Resin Rack Shelves. These shelves are light to carry home on a bus, simple to build and gives you four extra shelves in your closet.

These shelves give you what you've always needed and won't damage the inside of your closet. They are inexpensive when they go on sale and so easy to build yourself, even if you're not a handy person. These shelves allowed me to organize my office and school supplies, so now I have organized and easily accessible belongings in my closet.

When your closet space just isn't right, don't sweat and just put these types of shelves in your closet! It is the easiest solution that won't leave you worrying when you move about damage fees. Now is the time to create that organised closet you always needed.
