It always seems like we need more space! Cleaning up and clearing out once in a while helps, but sometimes you just need to add some space.
I had an otherwise unused wall and put some simple baskets on some tracks you can find at your local hardware store.

This photo of my simple tracks and baskets is one of my most pinned photos and the post it's in:
I get quite a few questions as to how these baskets were actually put up and so I'm going to show you all the details.
It's pretty easy and doesn't cost a lot to add storage space to your master closet. You can add lots of storage space by installing a double track system and either putting shelves or baskets on the tracks.

First off, what I keep in the baskets changes seasonally. The bottom basket is filled with tank tops, which I wear both in summer and winter.
One basket holds my sleep shorts and sleep pants. Another basket holds t shirts and the last one holds tops I wear while gardening or painting. Baskets would be great for under garments, ties, hats, scarves or whatever else you have need to store in your closet.
This is how it looks if the baskets are taken off. No need for shelves because the baskets sit directly on the brackets.
The tracks are just screwed into the wall and the brackets are adjustable and can be moved up or down.
Here's a closeup of the double track bracket. The photo isn't upside down, the label is. lol...still haven't taken a few of these off.
You can find the tracks and the double track brackets at Lowe's or Home Depot. The tracks come in different lengths, depending on how much space you have. I found the baskets at HomeGoods several years ago, but I've seen similar ones at Target recently.
There you have it...a relatively inexpensive way to add more storage space in a closet.
This project can be finished in one afternoon.
