Inaccessible space does not have to be wasted space. Difficult-to-reach areas such as high ceilings are a great area to store out-of-season items (sweaters), luggage or anything not used on a daily basis. The following hints will help you to use that space efficiently.
Start by measuring all of the walls in the closet to determine exactly how much space you have to work with. Measure the height of each wall, Always keep accurate records of all the information you are gathering. Measure the amount of space you are currently using in your closets. Measure the amount of hanging space you are using, count the number of shoes stored in the area and get an accurate inventory of what your needs are in your closets.
Take all the information you have gathered and let's see how we can make that difficult space work for you. If you are double hanging on a wall with a high ceiling, consider triple hanging on this wall. Place rods 42, 84, and 126 inches from the floor to triple your hanging space on that wall. A rod placed 72 inches from the floor is ideal for storing long-hanging garments. Another rod placed 114 inches off the floor above your long hanging area will also maximize your hanging area.
Designing shelves up this wall will maximize your shelf space. Things stored in this area may be difficult to access all the time so plan on keeping things not frequently needed within this area.
