Attics are usually neglected or kept for cluttering them with various stuff you don’t need. But if you want your attic to be a practical space, you may go for an attic closet. Whether you have a large attic with tall ceilings, a slanted attic that’s hard to style, or a tiny attic with limited floor space, these creative attic closet ideas will help you transform your space into practical closet.
Create A Walk-In Closet
If you have a whole room, convert it into a luxurious walk-in closet, complete it with a dresser, pendant light, and built-in shelving. Curate your closet with custom shelving for all of your items, drawers and trays for accessories, and a large mirror. If there’s no space for a mirror, you can make a mirror door. Install additional overhead lighting or hang colorful artwork to complete your walk-in attic closet.

Take advantage of the slanted space formed by your home’s roof to create a corner attic closet.

Eliminate dead space toward the bottom of an attic closet by adding narrow shelves for shoes or a multi-level shoe rack. Just be sure to leave yourself a pathway. Keep the closet open for easy access or consider adding a sliding barn door or pocket door.

Build Attic Shelving
If you have a slanted attic, it can be difficult to make the layout work for your belongings. Build shelving between two walls to create a functional attic closet that isn’t too cramped. Then paint them a neutral color so that they fade into the background. Create a small vanity or dresser section in the middle if you have space, and add a place to sit to make the room cozier.
