28 Solutions to Your Closet Problems
Personal Favorites: #2 use bookshelves to display pretty shoes & #25 turn your closet into an office
Inexpensive bookshelves can be purchased from IKEA, Walmart, the Container Store or even a local garage sale. For a more personal feel, use metallic or stone spray paint. A closet can be converted into a small office using a coat of paint and flat shelves. This is a great option to save space in a smaller room.
