How to Build a Closet Drawer Storage System

Introduction

Using this simple design, you can build storage drawers for any size closet.

If you have to dig through a mountain of clothes to find your favorite sweatshirt, it’s time to organize your closet. This DIY built-in system organizes your closet with a shelf, drawer, and hanging space for your clothes, shoes, and accessories. This closet system is designed to help eliminate clutter. It would cost you hundreds of dollars to buy one of these at the home improvement store, but you can build this one for a lot less.

Our system is really just four plywood boxes outfitted with a closet rod and shelf system along with drawers. You can build drawer dividers to add even more organization.

We built it for an 8-ft.-wide closet with an 8-ft. ceiling, but it’ll work in any reach-in closet that’s at least 6-ft. wide if you adjust the shelf width between the boxes or change the box dimensions.
