Victorian homes often lack sufficient storage, as seen in the author's own 1895 row home with its inadequate closet facilities. Faced with this challenge, the author creatively utilized a nook in the bedroom to establish a makeshift closet using a clothing rack and drapery, which temporarily addressed their storage needs. After a year and a half, the author upgraded to a more permanent solution with an Elfa closet system from The Container Store, complemented by contractor-built walls and doors, resulting in a seamless integration that enhances both function and aesthetic appeal.
The Elfa system installation transformed my awkward nook into a sleek, functional closet, blending seamlessly with my Victorian home's aesthetic and fulfilling my storage needs.
The DIY closet hack worked initially, utilizing a clothing rack concealed by drapery, but I knew it was a temporary solution until I could invest in a proper closet.
