Turn Room Clutter into Fabulous Closet Shelving

Do you have a little book case or old shelves sitting with “stuff” on it making your room feel cluttered? My son had one in his bedroom with his banks on it, some Leggos and miscellaneous books that never stayed neat. By moving the shelving unit into his closet we uncluttered his room instantly. It made such a huge difference in the feel of his room that I am convinced that nearly all open shelving units in a room should be abolished. Of course, I am not into “stuff” or displaying “stuff.” The feel of an uncluttered stuff-less room makes me breathe easier. But let’s face it, we all have stuff whether we want to have stuff or not. So try moving your stuff to a shelving unit inside a closet. Don’t have closet room to spare, you say? You’d be surprised at how much more storage real estate you can gain on shelves in a closet as opposed to empty hanging air space. If you have such a situation, try it out and see how much harder your shelves can work for you when they are hiding inside a closet as opposed to being out in the open and having to look pretty.
