How to Build a Closet Office

Turn a spare closet into a functional office! Here’s how!

Step One

Clear out the closet. Anything that hasn’t been used in two years should be donated. Other items should be reassigned to other areas of your home.

Step Two

Take out any existing closet rods and shelving. Take this opportunity to freshen up the space with an attractive paint color. Sit down and determine what you need the space to do: will it need to fit a printer, fax machine and filing cabinet? You may need to consult an electrician about any wiring needs.

Step Three

The best shelving is wall-mounted shelving that takes advantage of the vertical space. The Shelving Store has plenty of wall-mounted shelving from decorative shelving to chrome wire shelving. Shelves are available in a wide variety of sizes to creat a custom fit for your space.

Step Four

A wheeled desk chair makes it easy to move the chair in and out of the space. Accessories your new workspace with storage boaxes. When you’re not using your office, just shut the door!
