Closet Shelving: 101

  • Wire shelf Kits - Very popular these days are wire shelf kits, especially because of the affordable price-tag and often easy installation. Look for companies that sell adjustable shelves if you want greater ease and storage versatility. This type of shelf can give you greater shelving options; for example, some systems allow for you to create one long shelf or instead create a two tier stacking system. Adjustable shelves are not limited only to wire and metal. Adjustable wood shelve kits designed for installation with closet organizers by John Louis Closets, are made from both beautiful Maple and Red Mahogany. Wire shelves start at around $45, but you can find deals online at companies like Amazon, which we recommend for buying brands: Whitmor, John Louis, Rubbermaid or Closetmaid.
  • Wooden Shelves - Generally shelves made of wood, especially quality wood like cedar, are more expensive than metal and plastic, but give your closet a more stylish look. If you like wood and are looking for a good quality do it yourself kit, take a look at brand, John Louis Closets. Shelving kits are made from 100% wood as are the closet organizers.
  • Wire/Metal Shelves - Wire mesh shelves offer the advantage of allowing air to circulate through stacks of folded clothes, but have the disadvantage of leaving mesh imprints in clothing, especially if the stacks of clothing are heavy or delicate fabrics.Ventilated shelves resemble wire mesh but are slats, rather than mesh, and usually have 'more breathing room.' The slats are often made of vinyl coated steel. Closet Maid & Rubbermaid are 2-providers that use this type of ventilated shelves in its line of closet organizers.


    Plastic Shelves - Plastic shelves are light and flexible and this makes them easier to install. But they are not as durable as wood or metal.
  • Triangle-shaped Shelves - To make maximum storage use of closet space, use triangle-shaped stackable shelving for the unused corners of your closet. You can find 18-inch metal triangle shelving for closet corners in the $40 range at Closet Organizer Source.
