Build a track mounted closet shelf system in a tiny bedroom closet or even in a hallway closet that you need more room in. You can actually make a track mounted closet yourself by purchasing a shelving system, determining where you want the shelving to go in the closet and plotting the top of that placement.
Use a level mark across the plotted area. Drill screws into the wall studs and then hang the track to the wall of the closet.
Be sure to place the first shelf before anything else and place the first shelf so that it is at standard height and placement. Once the shelves are hooked into the slots you can always resize them as you want different spaces and different looks for your closet.
Another tip for hanging the track mounted closet shelf yourself is cover the ends with rubber caps for safety and before setting anything on the shelves just make sure the shelves are secure.
