You can use extra closets in your home in many ways. Right now, you might stuff those spaces full of clothes, junk, and things you won’t look at for years. However, as an alternative to just letting dust collect, consider various ways to upgrade the closet space into something more useful for your home.

Discover four different ways to convert a closet space into something you may use every day. Learn about the options to help you decide on what works best for your home.

Organize your home security system with a centralized location for all the equipment. With a wireless home security system in your home, you likely need many elements to ensure everything runs smoothly.

A home security closet may hold extra camera equipment, batteries, battery chargers, back-up systems if the power goes out, or small servers to retrieve footage over a cloud. You might even use the closet to display footage on monitors. At any time, you could open the closet doors and access footage whether the clips are live from a camera or previously recorded footage.

Store the security footage in the closet to give your home an extra step of security. Only allow authorized users to access the closet. The extra step will help with any tampering problems in the area.

Besides security equipment, the closet space could house your home media options, especially if the closet is in a room with a home theater. Combine all of your home media options into a single closet to access electronics while you reduce clutter in your home theater as a whole.

Sound systems, video game consoles, and television receivers may all be in organized cabinets. Add a universal remote for all of the elements in the home theater. Then, multiple pieces of equipment will be easy to control and access without too many extra steps.

Many remote and devices have RF transmitters to send signals to the device without the need for a direct line of sight. You can also use phone apps as digital remotes that work in conjunction with an organized media closet.

For many of us, shoe collections include athletic shoes, dress shoes, sandals, and casual shoes for a variety of occasions. When you stuff them underneath hanging clothes in a regular closet, the choice may not be the best option for the shoes.

Dedicate a closet just for shoes to stay organized and have access to all the pairs you need. Special shelves may be useful to allow for easy access and displays. For example, you could install an angled shelf system so the shoes are fully visible without pulling out pairs and checking them each time.

You could even use a section of the closet to hold shoes still inside their boxes, but the shoes will last longer when left out of a box. Light strips and special overhead lights will help with the visuals inside the closet so the shoes are easily seeable at any time of the day.

Hangers and shelves are some of the more typical ways to organize a closet, but you have the ability to expand the space and storage options inside a closet by adding built-ins. Instead of adding shelves inside of the closet and the loss of space, the built-ins are for inside of the closet walls.

For walk-in closets, built-ins give you more room to move around the closet, try on clothes, and customize the space to fit your needs. Built-in storage may include shelves or drawers built right into the wall, all depending on your preference.
