Closet layouts are rarely uniform. Many are long, narrow, or have challenging angles that make organization difficult. To make the most of these spaces, every inch counts... and one of the most overlooked areas is the corner. Because most standard shelving and storage systems are designed for flat walls, corners often go unused. With the right approach, however, these spaces can become some of the most valuable storage areas in your closet!
Smart Corner Storage Solutions
1. Deep Storage for Hidden Corners
Transform an unused corner into an effective reach-in storage area for bulkier or seasonal items. By installing wire shelving or components from the freedomRail Closet System along the adjoining walls, you can create deeper shelving sections ideal for storing sweaters, handbags, or linens. This is especially useful for corners partially obstructed by walls or hanging rails.
2. Creating Additional Hanging Space
When a wall projection limits traditional hanging areas, consider turning that corner gap into auxiliary hanging space. A wire coat rod hanger can easily attach to existing wire shelving and is excellent for organizing extra blouses, dress shirts, or garments you want to keep wrinkle-free and within reach.
3. Dedicated Corner Shelving Units
If traditional shelving doesn't fit, specialized corner units offer a functional and stylish solution. The Shelving Store carries corner wire shelving units in both triangle and radius configurations — engineered to fit seamlessly into 90-degree spaces. You can also easily create your own corner optimizing storage solution with add-on wire shelving. Accurate measurements are essential for choosing the right size. For a wall-mounted option, corner wire shelves add extra storage above your main closet rod while enhancing visual appeal.
