Your attic is one of those areas that often become a catchall for whatever doesn’t fit on shelves. You can avoid that organizing your closet there: you will use it constantly and it will be organized. Whether you have a large attic with tall ceilings, a slanted attic that’s hard to style, or a tiny attic with limited floor space, these creative attic closet ideas will help you transform your space into hardworking storage.

If you have the space, convert your attic into a luxurious walk-in closet, complete with a dresser, pendant light, and built-in shelving. Curate your closet with custom shelving for all of your items, drawers and trays for accessories, and a large mirror.

Create A Small Corner Closet
Take advantage of the slanted space formed by your home’s roof to create a corner attic closet. Work with the angles of the ceiling to install floating shelves for large items like suitcases and add a freestanding wardrobe rack or a mounted bar for clothes. Eliminate dead space toward the bottom of an attic closet by adding narrow shelves for shoes or a multi-level shoe rack. Just be sure to leave yourself a pathway. Keep the closet open for easy access or consider adding a sliding barn door or pocket door.
