A Bedroom Closet Makeover

After: Storage With Style

1. Tall, tailored storage. Thanks to new floor-to-ceiling shelving, Jennifer can stash rarely used items, like boots, up high. Kids’ art, once stuffed into bags, stays flat in archival boxes. Lined baskets hold bedding; guest sheets are zipped in soft gray bins.
